Some favourites....

With Ranen going to preschool 3 partial days a week

I seem to be able to complete a little of the backed up personal editing...

Sharing some of my recent favourites:

 

Preschool started for our dear darling!

She is so excited and so ready for this adventure!

...not so sure if Mommy is quite ready!...
(but I have to be - the teacher asks Ranen "Where would you like
to say goodbye to your mom?" Ranen looks up at me "Goodbye Mom" and
runs off... I call her back for a quick hug and kiss and she was gone!)

 Ranen is attending a private preschool by Barrowtown Elementary school

and is super lucky  because they have an awesome playground
with a "super duper high slide"

 

 

Not often is my girl this photogenic...  love all these shots I've captured!!

To me this picture symbolizes my dear daughter at the threshold of her future...

For some reason, I just love it....  She`s prepared, she`s ready, she`s bracing herself, she`s eager...

 

Last week, my wonderful nephew with his fantastic girl friend were down from Ontario...

we did some great things together...

(for now I have mostly edited the pictures of us from those days

but their pictures will come soon!!!)

We went for a bike ride on the sea wall around Stanley Park...

Then topped it off with dinner at White Rock!!

 this right here just might be my most favourite picture ever... 

 

 Love having people with us on day outings... I actually get an updated family picture :)

 

One without the sun flare... (nothing like serious expressions...)

Chasing seagulls...

We had a great time there... needing to go finish up some things

around here so will have to put more up another day!!
