Those videos I promised...



Last time I posted, I promised some videos.  I was just reminded that I forgot to make good on that promise.  When I was assembling said videos, I suddenly felt like those all happened a lifetime ago - there as actually been quite a lot happen in the last couple of months. 

Anyone call for a superhero?
So, of all the things that happened, the two most notable:

1. Juniper got glasses!  When I noticed her eyes weren't aligning properly, we had her checked out, and sure enough she has strabismus. We don't know how long she will need to wear them - years, probably.  I was very nervous about potential fights about keeping them on, but so far, she's been really surprisingly good about them. Case in point:



2. In a very stressful, jam-packed weekend, we:
a) learned that our little Suzuki Swift had to return to Canada, within the week
b) visited with Deborah and Yvon in Boston
c) bought a new car (?!)
d) had Deborah and Yvon drive ours back to New Brunswick for us (thank you, thank you!)

We ended up with a Prius, of all things - it hadn't been on my radar at all, but so far we love it. And hey - if you know of anyone in the NB area looking to buy a Swift, let me know! Anyway, two pictures from that adventure:


The gang, after one crazy weekend


We say good-bye to our little car once and for all.
  And before I leave you with the video I promised, here are a couple of other shots:
Juniper learns to sew, with embroidery floss and burlap.  She threw her hands in the air at one point, and joyfully exclaimed "I'm learning!" Linden is clearly into just lounging with his sis'.

Kids, this is what happens when you don't listen to your parents, when they repeatedly tell you not to sit on your play kitchen. We left her there for awhile.

And finally, here is that video!
