Water Balloon Fight!

This summer, my boys are obsessed with water balloons! I can’t fill the balloons fast enough before they’re gone. Our yard is littered with a colourful confetti of broken balloon pieces. Usually, Mom and Dad join in on the fun but this time I decided to sit out and snap some photos. While my favourite lens is waiting to be shipped for repair, I decided my Lensbaby Composer would be perfect on this playful occasion.

Liam’s Foodie Fundraiser: Montreal Event Highlights

When my friend Laurie asked if I wanted to be a part of “Liam’s Foodie Fundraiser” I was so excited. The event arranged by her sister Jackie in honour of her son Liam, and to benefit the Liam Armstrong Pediatric-Oncology Fund at the Cedars Cancer Foundation. The evening included a live cooking demonstration with Montreal chef Chuck Hughes, assisted by five children from the Hematology-Oncology ward at the Montreal Children’s Hospital, as well as a silent auction and delicious food offered throughout the evening courtesy of Tuck Shop and Léché Desserts. I was so honoured to be asked to take part in such a wonderful event, to do my small part to help raise money and awareness, and to remember a cherished little boy and his love of food.

Well, there’s no doubt about it. When I see this smile, it lights up my life.

Amelia at 6 months

I knew I wasn’t going to be very active on my blog during my maternity leave. I knew the year would fly by! But I didn’t think it would go by with only 2 posts! So here I am, looking to the future: this little gal is about to become a big sister.  Here is one of my favorite shots from her 6-month photo shoot.basil

These are long overdue…some buddies enjoying an afternoon together. Though from these photos, it looks like they mostly enjoy playing alone!
