Meeting Santa
Maya was in awe of Santa but did not want to get too close to him. The end result is in the photo below where she received a present from Good Old Saint Nic.
Its Been a While
It has been some time since we have posted anything to the site but we are going to try and keep it updated. We have been homeless since the fall and are hoping to move into our new house the end of January. Maya is doing incredible. It is amazing how fast she is growing up. she is no longer a baby but a little girl. What a fun time. Here are some updated pictures.

Super Star
Well the sunny weather has come and we have purchased Maya a pair of sunglasses (Dora the Explorer) to deal with the bright sun. For a while she would have nothing to do with them but now she loves to put them on. If is really funny that when she originally puts them on she immediately smiles as if she is getting her picture taken. She then proceeds to put them on top of her head, lets them hang from her nose and then puts them back on.

My Mom's a Teacher!
Thats right, Tanya graduated with her Bachelor of Education on May 11th. We are very proud of her accomplishment and since then she has been working as a substitute on a regular basis. Who knows, there may be an awkward time in the future where little Maya may come face to face with a teacher that knows all her tricks.
Spring TIme????
The weather is completely unpredictable this time of year but one thing is for sure, Maya loves the outdoors. One day she can go outside with light clothing on and the next we have to put a hat and mittens on her.

Florida - Part 1
Well we found out first hand how different it is traveling with children. Although it had its challenges, overall the trip was wonderful. Maya had a new found freedom with walking outdoors in the warm weather and was like the energizer bunny. We also found out that she is a water rat. Even on the colder days when no one else would go in the water, we could not keep her out. She loves the water and wanted to be in it continually. Some times she would just climb the step in the pool and sit on the edge and other times she would float around waving at everyone. The weather on the trip was just ok but the bad weather days were wisely used to provide Maya with a brand new wardrobe. She will be one well dressed little girl this summer.
The Great outdoors
One of the few nice days we have had in March, Tanya took Maya for a walk and on the way home she let her out of the stroller and walk around. She was so impressed with her new found freedom to move around that it was hard for us to get her to come inside. When the weather warms up, it should be fun.

Happy Chinese New Year
Yesterday was the Chinese New Year (year of the pig) so to celcbrate we decided to go out for dinner and have what else but Chinese food. Although, not authentic, it served its purpose. There usually is a Chinese New Year celebration in Halifax but fir soime reason it got delayed. As you can see, our little Geisha was more than happy to dress up for the occassion.
Fun On The Ice
Yesterday it warmed up just enough that we decided to take Maya out to play. It was her first time on a sled and her firsat time on the ice. Neddless to say we all had a great time and ended up with rosy cheeks.

Finally an Update
We know it has been a while but things have been a little crazy. Maya is now fully mobile and if you turn your head for a second, she is gone. Some of her favorite things to do now are putting her hands in the toilet or garbage, climbing into the cupboards or climbing on Jessie. She is becoming more vocal and it is amazing how quickly she is changing. She has started daycare and she loves it. We think that it is a great opportunity to interact with other kids her age.
We will try and keep a more concerted effort to update on a regular basis.
Take care.
