Appology to Liam

I have been recently updating my blog entries, backdating them and adding pictures. And I realized that the majority of pictures are of Maia. And I feel guilty. I mean, true, she is going through that really cute stage that just begs for pictures to be taken. But I feel like I am showing favoritism...and I don't mean to. I LOVE Liam to pieces, and there is so much worth showing of him. I just don't tend to take pictures of it. Maybe because I am too busy enjoying the here-and-now of it. But still, I felt I owed him a (silent) apology for not having his pictures plastered all over my blog. I will try harder to get more pictures of him, and wrote more about him.

Happy 7th Birthday!

Liam is now 7! Totally crazy, almost hard to believe. He's been around forever...but yet I only just had him. A smart, handsome, (mostly) polite, thoughtful, inquisitive, imaginative, sensitive, playful, wonderful boy.

He went from this:

To this:

Both make my heart melt. Does yours?


Here are some pictures from the family birthday party.
Naturally, a cake with the Tardis on it (and my attempt at a Dalek).

I made him a fez, which he has been begging me for.

Here is his birthday party at the ISC, with the kids.
Another Tardis cake.


His best friend (and girlfriend) Willa.

Happy Birthday!

Blue icing!

Skating cuties.

A random Saturday morning with Maia

Just a random Saturday morning with the kids. I found Maia happily reading in her room.

Then she declared she wanted to go outside after breakfast

So we walked to Wawa for a snack. Maia was very thrilled to be outside, especially after she found a large stick to play with (what is it with kids and sticks?).

Liam was also happy to be out enjoying the warmth (hequickly discarded his scarf) and asked me to take this picture.

Upon returning home, Maia found a rainbow on the floor was was quickly amused that she could have rainbow-toes.

Crafting with Grandmom

Grandmom brought a surprise with her when she came over on her usual Wednesday evening. Crafts! Saint Patrick's Day themed crafts. Liam whipped through his really quick (I was busy cleaning and didn't remember to take any pictures...bad me), and then Grandmom helped Maia with hers.

Maia really loved putting the gemstones on. She would point Grandmom to where to put the drop of glue and then she would place the gem.

Then it had to dry, so I will have to help her finish and will post pictures when that happens.
