I have a bunch of West Coast images to edit and post but first, it’s been a long time since I’ve downloaded pics off my phone. Here’s life lately:

I’m the gal who screen-captures the live stream of Oscars nomination day:

Made some protein balls for the freezer:

I skipped my usual early-morning run for an early-morning TRX circuit class with Sabrina:

A more mature version of my favourite childhood lunch. I substituted the hotdogs for veggie dogs and the Kraft Dinner for Annie’s Organic Mac and Cheese:

I have the best of friends. Sarah left me a surprise in my mailbox one day:

David and Henry’s first solo adventure around the block:

A riveting night of Guess Who? My opponent was deeply concerned that I’d sneak a peak so he hid under a fort:

I signed up for the MEC race series. Race 1 was a fast hilly 10km in Point Pleasant Park. I was very happy with finishing under 48 minutes:

We finally checked out the Seven Bays Bouldering down the street. Good times. I suck. 

Lunch dates are the best. Anna and I met for a movie-chat at Indochine:

Got a little excited about a new podcast devoted to Friday Night Lights:

Sun dog and shadows:

This is January. I am met with frozen water when I return from a run:

Oh baby it’s cold (but beautiful) outside:

Planning our route for the Storm The Mountain Adventure Challenge:

Team work. We came in last place in the competitive 4-hour category which sounds bad however, there were a lot of recreational teams with lower scores (including Jill and Alex) so I’m not too upset:

This is the vegetarian portion of dinner for 5 from Tarek’s Cafe. So good:

WINTER:

What my boss texts me… which, believe it or not, is actually work related:

Sabrina stopped by with this. I am spoiled!

Jill left me this delicious carrot and sweet potato soup when I came by to babysit:

Just hanging with Edith:

Enjoying the last few days with my tulips from Sarah and Amanda:

Street art:

Morning light on Cabot:

Hedge art:

The day my sweater perfectly matched my boot liners:

January is for rice cake sales at the supermarket. I spread them with Nutella to mask the blandness:

I’m the dork who celebrates the colour of the year announcement:

Hand warmers for long runs:

Boiling and deviling eggs:

My first (but not last) latkes with smoked salmon experience!

Lovely ladies (and me):

My dog is such a rebel:

David has changed career paths… now he wants to be a mechanical engineer or a mechanic:

Rare moment. Our child is not screaming or whining in the ski lodge:

Happy birthday Granddad!

Reading material for January:

The tropical train car seems to have arrived in a not-so-tropical location:

To say David loves his Junior Lifeguard course would be an understatement:

Winter on the Wallace River:

Chairlift selfie:

Auntie selfie:

Loving my mom’s latest quilt!

Shooting down the hill at my parent’s:

We finished the first Harry Potter book and celebrated with the movie. According to David, the book was much better.

Cave exploring in Wentworth:

That’s a wrap. I’ll be back again.
