Reflecting on 2010

Our family had so many great new adventures during 2010. Of course the biggest were building and moving into our new home and welcoming miss Tayah Kennedy into our family. I think a picture really can say a thousand words, so here is our 2010 year in review through photos!

January - Our new house is almost ready!! We could not have been more excited to move to our new home and new neighbourhood. Little did we know we were going to be living on the most amazing street. We have all made so many new friends and could not be happier.

February - We officially took posession of our house on February 19th, 2010. This was our first visit to the house once it was ours. We had to of course bring the necessities.... toilet paper.... and had a fancy Burger King dinner on the stairs.

March - This was my view of miss Tayah before she made her way into the world. Oh how our lives have changed so much since then! It's funny how you wonder how life will be once another baby arrives, and then you realize how much you wouldn't want it any other way once they are here.

April - Tayah Kennedy Pereira finally joined us on April 16th, 2010. I laboured at home all night, my water broke as Amaya was getting ready for school, so we dropped her off and headed to the hospital in rush hour traffic. We got into a room shortly after 10am and Tayah was born at 11:07am. There was some minor complications during her birth so she was taken away to make sure everything was ok, and I finally got to hold her about an hour later. We all love her so much.

May - We had such beautiful weather in May and spent many days at the nearest playground. Amaya loved riding her bike and Tayah loved going for walks in her stroller.

June - Our first official family mini-vacation to Grand Forks. Mommy loved the shopping and the girls loved the swimming!!


July - Amaya turns 7! Really????? How can this be possible?? She had a great birthday party at home with friends and family and of course got tons of great gifts!



August - Tayah and Mommy went to Nanaimo, BC to visit Baba & Grandpa Harry. It was ridiculously hot but we had a great visit.

September - Amaya's first day of Grade 2. She just loves school and has an amazing teacher. She is just growing up too fast!


October - I made my very first ever turkey for Thanksgiving. It was so yummy if I do say so myself. Everyone came back for round 2 at Christmas :)

November - Tayah is getting so big and learning new things almost daily. I was still quite shocked to see her standing up in her crib when I walked into the room. She was so proud!

December - We had a fabulous holiday with lots of family and friends. Both girls must have been very good as Santa brought them lots of fun presents. Of course, December also means it's time for the World Junior's ... Papa and his girls all have their jerseys on to cheer on the team!


I can't wait to share our 2011 adventures!
