Finding Peace: January 2017
http://kellyawatson.blogspot.com/2017_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 20, 2017. Our Riley is ONE! Sweet boy, life with you is an adventure! You are the happiest little boy that I have EVER met, and sweet boy, I feel like that may get you out of, and into, a lot of trouble in your life! You are starting to figure us out, and you even have some tricks of your own! You LOVE to throw things, and it doesn't matter what or where. You can clear the coffee table of things in a second, and you empty bins in no time at all. You like to throw blocks all across...You h...

Finding Peace: Our 8 month old
http://kellyawatson.blogspot.com/2016/09/our-8-month-old.html
Sunday, September 11, 2016. Our 8 month old. Darling boy, I missed writing about you when you were 7 months old, but boy have you been changing! At 65 months, you learned how to sit up by yourself, with only a tumble or two here and there. One of your favourite places to be right now is on your Daddys shoulders. You could stay up there forever, with a smile that fills your face, just bouncing, bouncing bouncing, as though you are riding a horse. MrRiley you are beginning to love playing with balls. Y...

Finding Peace: February 2016
http://kellyawatson.blogspot.com/2016_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 19, 2016. Our sweet boy, at 7 weeks old. MrRiley, oh my goodness, we LOVE you SO much! When we had your sister, we had not yet experienced this kind of love, and we loved your sister more than we had even known was possible. And would we have thought it would be even remotely possible to love TWO people like that, no way. But do we? Oh my god, yes! And now, at 7 weeks old, we can not believe how strong you are. You are almost able to consistently hold your head up on your own when we...

Friday, September 30, 2016. Our sweet girl Summer of 2016. Sweet bean, what a beautiful thing summer vacation with you is. Your Mommy likes the heat, and you like being outdoors, and combined, we get to spend a whole summer outside, playing in the forest, rivers, lakes, puttering in the garden and in your fairy garden.life is beautiful always, but especially in the summertime. Our goal for you this summer was to get you into swimming lessons, as you hadn't done any since you were about 2, and it was time!

Finding Peace: May 2016
http://kellyawatson.blogspot.com/2016_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 23, 2016. As I sit here ready to let words pour onto "paper," I am reminding myself to ask my daughter in the morning what happiness is to her. Happiness is . I wonder what she will say. I think she will, at first, say, "everything," as that is her stock answer. "Ava, what is your favourite color? All of them." "Ava, what was your favourite part of today? My sweet darling girl, happiness is: you and your brother. BUT, the big BUT.you have found happiness like I believe you have never seen...

Finding Peace: September 2015
http://kellyawatson.blogspot.com/2015_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 18, 2015. Our peanut, you're perfect, just as you are. My sweet bean, as you lay sleeping in your bed right now, soother IN, I think that when you wake up, you are sure to hate your mommy. Please don't hate me when you wake up. When you learned to use the potty. And honestly, that wasn't much of a transition, as you just decided during Christmas at Manning that you were going to start using the potty, and BAM, you were daytime potty-trained. They're using soothers outside of the house!

Finding Peace: Darling girl, you are almost FOUR
http://kellyawatson.blogspot.com/2016/11/darling-girl-you-are-almost-four.html
Sunday, November 6, 2016. Darling girl, you are almost FOUR. Where the time goes, I will just never know. Everyone tells you to enjoy them when they are small, because the time just goes so quickly, but I suppose you don't see it going quickly when you are in the thick of it. We did, however, need to include a book titled "my quotable kid" for you this year, because you say THE funniest things that we just never want to forget. Ava, there are so many things that we love about you. Hmmm, no, I think I'd r...

Finding Peace: April 2016
http://kellyawatson.blogspot.com/2016_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 13, 2016. Pride and Confidence in our Peanut. Your little legs began to tire on the way down, and you walked beside Mommy and Riley, holding my hand, the entire way down. On the drive home, you so tiredly and thoughtfully said, "Mommy, I think Daddy would like this hike.". When your little legs and strong hands get you up over a big boulder, or around a tricky bend when we were hiking, and you exclaim, "I did it! Ava, your Daddy and I just beam with pride for you. For this craft, we got ...
