Ocean's "Baby" series

We've been doing a lot of painting lately. I've been setting Ocean up with acrylics because they are just thicker and have a better texture than tempera. We'll call this the "Baby" series, because that's what she says they are~ babies (she's a bit baby-obsessed lately).

Christmas 2010/2011

Our Christmas party at Robyn's was delayed until January because of a snow storm (there seems to be a lot of snow this year) but it was kind of nice to have something to look forward to after the holidays...it's so surreal that there's this whole clan of little ones now! They are lucky to have so many cousins close in age to grow up with :)

Merle, Sprinklers and Art by Ocean!!!

Ocean's art is called "Baby Poop-Poop" (in her words). We're loving Merle, he's a sweetheart. Today was really humid so Cory took the girls to a sprinkler park.

Introducing "Merle"...

which means "Blackbird" in French. He's very sweet and we're all enjoying him, Orange especially.

We went to my parents yesterday and had a lot of fun with the cousins. Orange caught a bull frog with a little help from Grampy.
Tomorrow we are going to the MSPCA to pick up Orange's new kitten, Merle (which means "blackbird" in French). She is *very* excited!

Return To Oz Wheelers

What we watched today...dark, creepy, and disturbing. Orange loved it! I have to get the Oz books for her.

New baby Owen

The girls loved meeting their new cousin Owen yesterday, he's really tiny & cute. And, of course, they had a lot of fun with their other cousins as well.
