Yesterday was a day of firsts. My big boy started school for the first time. ( I need a whole other blog post to talk about how much that tugged on my heart.) And yesterday something else big happened. Yesterday our twins started grade three, in separate classrooms. Anyone who has known our girls for […]
9×2
As I go to take their photo, both of them wrinkle their noses in exactly the same way. They screw up their faces and pout at me and despite their differences in that moment they are just so much alike. Even after all these years of growing, and changing, and becoming who they are, they […]
Rats

In the above photo they are a year old and wearing their VIBeS t-shirts proudly! Playing Wordless […]
2×7
Izzy. Izzy is funny with a cheeky sense of humour that often involves the word ‘fart’ or ‘bum’. She throws herself on her bed and screams and wails. “You’ve ruined my life. I never get what I want.
