olympic pride

There is something about the Olympics that makes me feel all global citizen, peace is possible, united in passion across the world....basically it gives me all the feels. After our cruise we came home and caught the tail end of the Olympics but with technology we were able to catch up on the opening ceremonies, figure skating and ski jumping (my favourites). I feel like this might be the year that my girls have also fallen in love with figure skating.  We watched Canadians Scott and Tessa with tears in our eyes. School had a tshirt day were you sported a country of your choice and then snapchat had a fun ski filter so we played around with that.

Love these little women of ours. 

Love our country.

Love the Olympics!!!

St. Patricks Celebrations

We aren't Irish but we celebrate!!!!  We actually have a stash of St. Patricks gear and this year we added some scarves from Target (we love us some Target), so fun.  I love the festiveness that we make of every holiday.

The school had a fundraising dance so Amelia and I went (sadly Stella wasn't feeling well so stayed home with Dad).  I love community events or in this case school community events because it is such a wonderful opportunity to connect with other parents, to catch up.  There are a few families we have known since Amelia was in kindergarten so it is pretty special that we have watched our children grow together in their school careers. I loved watching kids come running for her when we entered the gym. 

The days can be long with bickering or repeatedly teaching, modeling, feeling like you are falling short but goodness when I look at these photos of our two little miracles with their goofball antics and smiles it absolutely wipes the tough parts of being a parent to the side. We must be doing ok because these are some pretty great girls!
