6/52

Tiegan had been throwing up the night before, so both of the kids stayed home from school and Ry and I went on a fun little adventure down to the lake.  We put our skis on, created new trails through the woods, finally made it down to the lake and started to put our skates on.  It was at this moment that Ryland declared that he was too cold and he just wanted to go home - and there was NO WAY I was going to skip skating after all that hard work to get there:-)  Thankfully I'd smartly packed a whole bunch of extra warm clothes, so I wrapped him up as warmly as possible, and we enjoyed a lovely skate and then ski home again for some hot chocolate........

Tiegan had her regional competition for cheerleading this past weekend, and was so nervous and excited and spent hours doing her hair and make-up!  They did an awesome job, and won first place......

And as I search for a photo of Kea, I'm realizing just how few I've been taking of her lately.  Crazy, I'll have to rectify that:-)  Here is a shot from yesterday, where she is completely wiped out after skiing down to the lake, creating her own trail by shovelling lots of snow, and skating around the tracks a few times......and then she was DONE!  

I'll also include this shot of her Valentine's Day gift to Keean, though the photos didn't turn out as well as I'd have like:-(  She gifted him a lock to put on the Sommerset Bridge over the Rideau Canal - and she put K squared on it:-)  Ahhhhh, young love.
