( Little note : The black & white this week was not a planned thing. We have been sick… all of us (except for my husband and his constitution of steel) so honestly, black and white makes us look less pasty, blotchy and droopy eyed. I’m not used to black and white much so I hope you will still enjoy.)

Little Man : What a sensory overload for you this week : The Christmas lights went up all over the house. You have been getting lost in them. Sometimes peacefully, sometimes not so much, you have been touching them, playing with them, getting your eyes as close as possible to them and taking them in. I think they have soothed you this week. We have all been sick this week, but you’ve been a trooper… my little unstoppable man. ❤

Little Miss : Oh that face… it says a lot about our week. You’ve been channeling a bit of a vixen spirit, it’s been harder to connect. But I know a lot has been happening : It was your first full week at school in a while with all these rotating teacher strikes and you haven’t been feeling well to boot. You are entitled to your moments, I just hope this week finds you more at peace with yourself and us. Please know that we love you no matter what kind of place you are in, I hope you always remember that. ❤

i’d love to start to decorate our house with lights and christmas tree but my man thinks it’s too soon… (even though he’s right, i love all the decor!)

haha! My husband is American and it’s very hard for him to decorate before Thanks Giving. In the states, it in at the end of November. But in Canada, it is mid-October. So we agreed lights, but no decorations yet. 🙂

Oh my! How big they have both gotten while I was away. And all that hair on Little Man. Hope you are feeling better soon.

Oh, they have… I keep asking them to stop it, but they don’t and won’t. 😛 And yes, I’m thinking I might have to have his hair cut a bit. It tickles his ears and neck and he is not such a fan. We will see. 🙂
We are feeling much better, thank you for your sweet thoughts.

Asking them to stop it. That’s a good one! Sometimes I look back with an aching heart that I cannot return to all the magic moments of the past. But then it is so amazing to see them unfold that I can’t wait for the next day to see what happens! Glad you are feeling better 🙂

Thank you… I really do hope they will. I’m hoping to find the time to make them a book every year and print them out. I just want them to feel my love always… even one day, when I won’t be here anymore.

So sorry to hear you’ve been suffering, hope you’re all feeling better now, but I do love the b & w! Both photos look so effective, especially love the way those snowflake lights look in the background with the b & w. And what a great descriptive phrase – channeling a vixen spirit! Perfect photo for it too! I have a daughter that could apply to from time to time as well, I’ll have to tell her next time it does!

Hehe! It seems like the “nicest” way to phrase it. But I think many kiddos channel those times.
I just love snowflake lights. We got them several years back and cherish them every year. They are oour winter lights. They stay up until spring.
