FINALLY a photo of ALL of US!

When we were a little family of three, we had lots of photos. When we became a family of four, it wasn't till Katie's FIRST birthday that we had a photo, and that was in Swiss Chalet, the spur of the moment photo.  When we became a family of FIVE it wasn't until this past weekend, while visiting the kids' Nana that we got a photo of us ALL!!! Why does it take soo long to get that photo?? Mostly we are busy, living our lives...not realizing that we don't have that photo. We mention from time to time, "hey we should do a photo," but never do! Then there are times, that some of the CHILDREN fuss, cry and just don't want to sit still for that photo.

This past weekend we visited my husband's Mother...aka NANA!! We rarely get down to the BIG city...that is Toronto. We are either busy, or she might be busy and then there is the travelling...just over an hour...which can seem sooooo LONG with three kids. We just headed into Bradford and they were already asking "are we there yet?" That is about a 20 minute trip!!! When we FINALLY do make it there, Nana looks after the kids.  Its then that Matt and I head to the St. Lawrence Market. There you can see everything and buy anything. Its more fun to people watch. I love Toronto! It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon, sunny and mild(for November). After buying some cheeses and stuffed peppers, we bought a Timmies(Tim Hortons coffee) and sat out front, just watching life in Toronto....it made it more special cause I was with my Hubby and we had NO KIDS!! Its very rare that we are alone........



St Lawrence Market!

Back at Nana's apartment, the kids showed us their decorated cupcakes and cookies. We had a LOVELY afternoon and dinner. Afterwards, we wanted a picture taken.....since we didn't have one. It took a couple of shots, but we got one and later I photo-shopped some things out...never did that before!!  BUT I LOVE our PHOTO!!  Even though they MIGHT have food around their mouths and their hair is messy...this is my family...this is REAL LIFE, we are not made up to look perfect..its JUST US!! And I LOVE IT!! It will be going on our WALL!!  

FINALLY our PHOTO!!!!!
