Anxiously Awaiting Santa

Maya is so excited waiting for Santa and every day checks for new gifts under the tree. Each day Maya and Tanya countdown the 25 days to Christmas by opening up a little door on this display we have and hanging the ornament on the tree. Here is a picture of her standing by our tree.

Here are some pictures of Maya

Family Picture

We just had our family picture done and here are the results.

Happy Halloween

Friday was Halloween and Maya was extremely excited this year. Not only was she dressed up as a princess but her friends in the neighbor got together and went to approximately 20 homes. What started out with 3 kids ended the night with a group of 9. She had a great time and we are trying to dispose of the candy in a "responsible" manner.

Fall Fun in New Hampshire

We recently took a trip down to New Hampshire this fall where there was plenty of shopping and some beautiful outdoor scenery. The hotel we stayed at had an indoor water slide and after a little encouragement, we could not get Maya off of it. Not only did she have fun but she slept very well that night. Fortunately for us, Maya is a great traveler.

Waiting on Hockey Season

Maya has been on the computer anxiously awaiting the start of hockey season. Is there any doubt as to who her hockey team is?????

Newfoundland

In August Maya had her first experience on the Nfld ferry and we are pleased to say that it went off without incident. We went over for a wedding and her and Zoe made the most of the trip staying up well beyond their bedtime. Here are some pictures of the trip.

A Day on the Lake

With the weather being so good as of late, we have been taking advantage of it by spending time on the lake at her Grandparents. Maya loves the water and now is learning how to become captain of the boat.

Soccer Anyone?

Maya has started Soccer this summer and the verdict is still out. She loves being around all the kids her age but her attention to the actual game is limited. We have nothing but praise for our coaches because it is like trying to heard cats to get them all together, pay attention and follow instructions. Here are some action shots.

Kitty Kat

Today Maya went to her Kindermusic party where they had a bbq, toys, some castles that you can jump in and of course face painting. Although she was a little nervous at the start, she let them finish and loved the end result.

Haircut

Today truly was a big day for Maya. Not only did she get a new bed but she had her first real haircut. She did great! She sat in mommy's lap and was an expert. Here she is blowing kisses to her mom.

Big Girl Bed

Time flies so fast and we already find ourselves saying that Maya is growing up way too fast. An example of this is today Maya has graduated to a "big girl bed". If only seemed like yesterday that the crib was so big for her. Anyway, she loves it and has already stated to play games on it.

It's Been a while

Things have changed so much since Christmas. We have moved into our new home and Maya loves it. She has her own special room for all her toys and loves to play downstairs. Now that the weather is changing, we are getting out doors and there are plenty of children Maya's age to play with. I think she is really going to enjoy it here. We have also enrolled her in gymnastics and she loves it.

Welcome to 2008

We hope that everyone had a great holiday season. It was nice for both of us to be off over the holidays with Maya. The only problem was that she got a little spoiled being around us every day. We things are back to normal and the excitement is building because we will soon be moving into our new house. From what we can see, Maya has given it her approval and is already calling it "my house". Here are a few recent pictures of Maya in December.

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.
