A Few Weeks, A Ton of Pictures!!!

Yes, things are getting back to normal around here.  After the chaos of our new puppy Cody, I am now once again finding the time to blog!  So I figured I'd show a few new pics of my Elysia.

My mom purchased herself a fancy new camera, and she takes awesome pictures with it.  Thank you, Grandma!!

Perhaps you'll remember a few bog entries ago when I mentioned I loved the store 'Bunnies by the Bay'?  Well, I found her a Bunnies by the Bay jacket!  I could just tell you how awesomely cute she looks in it, but I figured I'd show you a few pics so that you'd come to that obvious conclusion yourself!  :-)

Ready for Easter anyone?

She looks so happy in this pic, but I should mention that she tried and tried to pull the hood off.  My kid hates wearing anything on her head!  We managed to sneak a few fabulous pics though!  I Love how they turned out. 

Meet the Newest Addition to our Family!

OK, he's a little bit bigger than I anticipated but he sure is cute!  At only 14 weeks old, he's already a whopping 25 lbs and still growing...

Steve and I had been tossing around the idea of getting a dog for a few months now.  It was never the right time, and it was difficult to agree on the type of dog we wanted.  I wanted a cute little dog.  He wanted a Lab.  I wanted one that wouldn't shed.  He wanted a Lab.  I wanted one that could sit on my lap.  He wanted a LAB.  The only thing that we completely agreed on was that he/she had to be a family friendly dog.  Hmmmmm.....

So, we finally decided on a Goldendoodle.  Best of both worlds, sort of.  First of all, he doesn't shed.  WOOHOO!  Secondly, he's family friendly and looks like a great big teddy-bear.  Third, he LOVES Elysia.  He was supposed to be a medium sized dog, but judging by the size of his paws, I'd say Steve got his wish of having a great big dog.  We found one that we just loved, and finally agreed to get him.  I'm so glad!

We picked him up yesterday, and we just think he is awesome.  The baby loves him too.  I think that it will be so nice having our baby girl grow up with a dog.

One Cool Kid

What is it about a kid in sunglasses that just makes them look absolutely adorable?? 

My daughter doesn't like the sun.  She never really has.  When we go for walks, she scrunches up her little face and squints if the sun is anywhere near her eyes.  So I was at 'Please Mum' the other day and found her these super cute purple sunglasses.  They have a band that goes all the way around so that they actually stay (even if only temporarily) on my girl's head.  So I put them on her the other day and headed downtown with my Mum.  The three of us strolled the sunny streets of Vancouver, weaving in and out of the huge Olympic crowds, and Elysia had a blast.  She was also very popular with the other people walking by.  Who can resist an adorably cute and very cool kid?
