Sweet Cul-de-Sacs

Love having Maclean Park on our street and so does Charlotte. Protected by two cul-de-sacs and a no through road, this park is one of the most relaxing places in the city. It’s amazing what happens to an area that keeps cars out of the picture. More bike lanes and cul-de-sacs please! Here are some photos from this morning. She was ready for a nap but managed to get in a little swing time before noon.

Little Miss Serious

Charlotte gets quite serious sometimes like here at the table. This was right before she had some more brown rice cereal for dinner. Jody stewed some organic sweet potatoes that will be on the menu tomorrow night. Love the homemade baby food!

Grandad A & Granny K

Charlotte had a nice visit with Grandad A and Granny K on Sunday. Fresh in from Palm Springs en route to various destinations including the Okanagan, Europe and Finland. We’re hoping to join these two global villagers in Scandinavia soon. Between our two families, Charlotte will be familiar with both sides of the pond in no time. You’ll notice these photos are looking extra special thanks to my new camera!

Sea Wall Stroll

A new family tradition has begun at our house. We walk the sea wall to a certain market on Cambie Street, usually on Sundays. Here’s a rough look at our route—Google Maps doesn’t understand the term “sea wall”. It turns out to be about 8 km there and back, just enough time for Charlotte catch some sleep.
