these kids

Sometimes I look around at the three little humans surrounding me and I am amazed that they are all mine; as if I just blinked and I suddenly had three beautiful children to call mine.
Of course, there are also moments (many of them) when the days stretch on and I am acutely aware of the three little beings who are very dependent on me for all of their needs.
Also, it is not the norm to have three kids in Vancouver. Most families seem to stop at two children. So, I often get awesome/strange comments from people about the fact that I have three children. 
Anyways......they are mine. And I love them SO very much. They are growing up right before my eyes, and I am honored to have a front row seat in their lives.

Evelynn has become an official book worm. She will walk around the house stumbling into things because she is into her book and she just can't put it down. I love it! Her favorite series right now is Magic Tree House. She is taking piano lessons and ballet lessons and she really enjoys both. We got her a scooter for her birthday and she loves zipping around on it- she usually rides it home from school. She loves drawing pictures and making books. Evelynn is bright, creative, persuasive, particular, gentle, responsible and so beautiful. 


Maisy is either very happy or very not-happy. She is up and down these days- a typical three year old. She loves riding her strider bike. She has a great imagination and loves making set ups with princesses and blocks. She loves Leo so much. She freely gives hugs and cuddles. She loves Dora (still). She lights up when she is around people. She usually carries around a stuffy or a dolly. Maisy is funny, thoughtful, super cute, loving, forgetful, affectionate and a bit fiesty.


Leo.....I just gave him his first hair cut and he looks oh so handsome. He can say, uh oh, wow!, mama, dada, meow,  and thank you (kind of). He can clap, do a happy feet dance, throw his hands in the air, do a cheesy smile, and sign "more" and "all done". Recently, he loves showing off for people. He is not shy. He is walking confidently and even trying to run. He looooooves me which is just about the best thing in the world. So, as long as I'm around, he is very content. I can't believe how much I love my boy.

I love you Aubyn and your three beautiful children. Thank you for the character words you so thoughtfully attributed to each of them. I would say you are creative, adventurous, loving and committed, sometimes random, so fun to be with, a bit feisty from Maisy and a bit particular from Evelynn. Mom
