From Saffron & Grenadine

We celebrated Grenadine a few weeks ago but yesterday was her real birthday so we got some slushies from the nearby depanneur which is her favorite treat. Enjoy the static mane!

We had a quiet evening tonight and decided to spend it hiking to the top of Teapot Hill. It’s a simpler hike near our house, 2.5k each way with a mostly gradual incline on the way up (gets to 250m up). We encouraged Saff and she made it up the WHOLE WAY all by herself – we were really impressed! Equally impressive was Grenadine’s hiking – she often did big chunks of hiking and was constantly motivated to keep going – well done girls! Dora gummies await you at the top!

Here’s a topographical view of the hike from Google Maps via cultuscottages.com

Grenz has been fascinated today with her new pants that have pockets. She constantly trying to get her hands in there when she’s sitting, squatting or walking; just like Daddy.

Also, this is the first posted picture from my new Droid Incredible.

This morning’s dialog:

saff: grrr, arrrr
me: are you a dangerous puppy?
saff: no, i’m a killer puppy. And my name is sunshine.

Everytime Saffron is asked (or asks) to pray, this is her prayer. Everytime.

“Thank you Jesus for this great day. Thank you for all the wonderful things. Thank you for Rae and Abby, AAAAAMEN” <clap>

The clap after praying is from the Nez’ and something that Grenadine first really caught on to but is leaking into our whole family. I guess the content can mostly be blamed on us as she gets most of her material from us; now I laugh whenever these words are used when Heidi or I pray.

Oh, she also was close to mouth when I yawned the other day and let me know that my breath smelled like goat. Thanks for the tip Saff, I’ll get right on that.

The phone is the biggest deal lately and Grenz has lots to say to her neighbor, Abby.

Grenz is often caught singing. Her favorite songs are twinkle, twinkle and ABC’s. She also loves to count to 10. Say hello to nap hair.

This quote has lasted a pretty long time. I can’t remember exactly where she got it from (maybe Winnie the Pooh), but she’ll frequently stand at her tallest, grimace her mouth a little and say, “Daddy, look at my size.” Usually this will happen 2 to 3 times every meal; she keeps growing.

We got to celebrate Easter today in the best way having a great church service, all of our favorite friends over for a fire, amazing food and an Easter egg hunt.

He is Risen! He is Risen Indeed!
