The Joy Formidable- "Whirring"
from the album The Big Roar
a little Welsh perfection, although I must say Ritzy Bryan's voice kind of reminds me a wee bit of Emily Haines from Metric (which is a great Canadian band!).
the trials and triumphs of a working mama of three

living on the edge
This little girl is strong and determined.
Incredibly drooly and trying to (did) roll over!
And as it turns out, yell-crying must be a family trait. She does it too.
Or maybe it's a Taurus thing because my sister definitely had some of that going on when we were kids, it was her own version ....we called it the wind up .
Georgie is 4 months (+ 2 weeks) old as of yesterday,
she's grabbing for her toys, people's fingers and my hair.
Just like her brother, she too has a kung-fu grip
She's definitely a mama's girl but loves herself some daddy time too.
She's wild about Oliver, beaming her toothless grin at him always.
In turn he bends downs and talks to her to in this high pitched, sweet voice (totally imitating me!)
"Oh hiiiiiii Georgie Girl, hiiiiii"
"Whatcha doin' Georgie"
It makes me laugh everyday.
Georgie Girl is little more on the petite side than her brother at this age.
Oliver was weighing in around 17 lbs at the 4 month mark and little Miss was 14 lbs 7 oz at her
3 1/2 month appointment (I'm guessing she's at about 15 lbs now).
Although they were neck in neck during the first month!
Georgie still has her blue peepers, her perfect little lips and adorable chin!
She can really mean-mug it when she wants to, pout that bottom lip like nobody's business
and also has the absolute greatest smile!
We couldn't possibly be more in love with our little girl.
Happy 4 Months Sweetness.

Me, you and an Alpac-at
We managed to have ourselves a sweet little family date on Thursday.
Guy got up with our ultra early riser and let me catch a bit more zzzzz
to which I returned the favour and cooked up some breakfast while he slept for bit.
We ate, got showered up and headed out to a little zoo I had heard about.
We gps'd the address and clicked on the scenic route, it was a beauty day for a drive and the kids were fabulous. Oliver pointed out every animal, car, tractor, digger and tree to be seen.
Georgie dozed off and slept the entire way (about 1 1/2hr!).
This zoo was perfect for small children,
easy to walk and Oliver had a blast feeding and checking out the exhibits.
Oliver just couldn't get enough of the animals, he LOVED the camel, the bear, the kangaroos
and of course the Alpac-ats. Such a great day!

these are the days of our lives
It's a bit of photo dump today, the last two weeks have been a bit of blur.
Really, if I hadn't snapped these pics these past few days wouldn't even exist in my brain.
Kind of like our lives have been put on fast forward.
And it doesn't look like there are any signs of slowing down in the near future.
Although I'm holding out hope we are going to be able to enjoy a day together as a family tomorrow,
to do something special with our wee ones.
Because summer is almost over...... Yikes!
