Easter has passed, we've gotten one huge snowstorm (hopefully the last, but we're not putting the shovels or winter gear away just yet!) and Cadence & I went to Toronto for a week of adventure & visiting. We're looking forward to summer getting here, and enjoying all the great finds every day as more snow melts to uncover things from last year or lost throughout the winter. Including many of Tofu's frisbees and fetch sticks.

Two weeks ago, the day we got two feet of snow in one day. Drew shoveled three times.


Last weekend we spent a good half hour in the morning discovering with Cadence the fun to be had with shadow puppets. Ever since that introduction we have daily requests for "shadow doggy" to make an appearance.


In Toronto, at the AGO. Cadence and I spent only one of our Toronto days in actual downtown Toronto, and when naptime came I had to find a good quiet place--what better than an art gallery!? He snoozed for an hour & a half in his stroller while i got to see the entirety of the new AGO. Perfect! (except I didn't get to nap, and boy did I feel like it after that day!) Afterwards we got a special almond brioche in the cafe downstairs. I really love my outings with Cadence.

Our back door...mud mud mud. Standard play outside gear right now includes rubber boots, rain pants, rain coat, gloves. All nicely sealed to keep the mud outside where it belongs. Poor Tofu gets daily baths. This will likely continue til...June? Notice the "bridge"/walkway we've assembled to help navigate the quicksand. Task for this summer: come up with some sort of landscaping that deals with this mess. So far the best bet is some sort of raised boardwalk. Stay tuned!
