hello justin trudeau. coronation. really? just the idea of that word puts me off. never a fan of his dad, but i get it. the son? not even a shadow.
hello rugby. yes, i've caved-in and both boys are playing again - though only for their school teams. cole is thrilled to be 8-man, and even happier to have scored 3 trys on his first game back. caden is happy to simply gain the respect of the older boys on his team.
hello soccer. who knew i'd have a soccer player in my brood? chloé decided to play this year - the first time since she was five - and she loves it. it's never been my sport so I'm happy to have her follow her heart and discover something new!
hello new dishwasher. it feels like only a little while ago that i had a new one installed - and i did! two weeks out of warranty and there is a crack in the base of the drum. my lovely plumber checked it out and it was clearly a defect. not happy with kitchen aid.
hello canyon ranch. for our third annual trip my sister and i talked. a lot. we always do, but this time it was different. i loved every minute of it though the topics were often tough. oh, and it turns out that - other than dismal vitamin d levels - i'm totally healthy. the doc cannot figure out the weight thing, but he seems to agree with my naturopath that once the cortisol levels are regulated - fingers crossed and positive vibes to the universe on may 14 - it'll come off. i'm totally setting up myself for success!
hello morning walks. there is a 2-mile walk (as well as others) at the ranch. before the sun got too hot - yes, too hot - we would walk the route. it was amazing to get 6,000 steps in by breakfast! definitely implementing the practice now that i'm home.
hello passport. long story short, it was left in a plane on the way to arizona. a 17-hour ordeal. sigh. not discovered until it was time to leave. never a dull moment!
hello facebook news. last friday morning cole made a noise i had never heard before (and hope to never hear again!). i jumped out of bed after 3 hours of jet-lagged sleep to comfort him. he had just read that his paternal grandfather had passed away. it was heart-wrenching. it brought out the mama-bear in me!
hello nyc. how do you honour a grandfather recently passed? after such an emotionally exhausting early morning, cole went on a planned trip to new york city with his other grandfather - my dad. i think grandpapa would have approved.
hello monday. you are my most favourite day of the week.
i love that you provide me with 52 fresh starts every year.
what are you saying hello to on this brand new monday?
head on over to lisa's blog and link up in the comments.
