First day of tennis camp and Roxanna has demonstrated her natural potential to be a future Wimbledon champ by pulling a John McEnroe style meltdown on the court.
(Thanks Auntie Julie for identifying her potential at an early age!)

Oliver Turns One
July 26, 2010 — IvaOliver recently celebrated his first birthday with friends and family in Ontario. We had lots of fun catching up with old friends and new offspring.
Just like old times, but different.
Hugs & kisses to y’all.

Dance Dance Evolution
July 20, 2010 — Iva
Nothing like her mother, Roxanna danced her Caspar Babypants off at today’s concert proving that the love of dance is one of those genes that skips a generation.
Goodnight Ollie
June 24, 2010 — IvaNew bedtime routine goes something like this…
- bedtime snack: eat cat food,
- use potty: play with toilet water,
- bath: almost fall head first into the tub, then later try to climb out of the tub,
- check security system: knock baby gates over,
- do hair: pull sister’s out by the handful
- and so on & so forth until finally it’s goodnight.
Look out Burlington, here we come!
Some Questions for Sara:
June 14, 2010 — IvaA few things have come up already since you’ve been gone. Presented in no particular order…
My cell phone has stopped working, what am I supposed to do now? Help, I am exhibiting signs of texting withdrawal.- Are you aware of how much time it takes to run my personal errands? Not fun.
- Do you happen to know anything about the country music station someone preprogrammed on the car radio?
- Did you ever find Melissa’s missing sunglasses? It’s finally partly-sunny here, she might need them.
- Do you realise how much we miss you already?
My little birdie has flown the nest. It just ain’t the same here without you, come back soon. Love ya, Mama Iva xo

Dinosaur vs Hello Kitty
March 12, 2010 — Iva
Hello Kitty wins every time.
Upon entering the classroom today, Roxanna was greeted by a giant paper mache dinosaur that filled up 1/4 of the room and nearly touched the ceiling. She strolled right passed it barely noticing and instead declaring to the class, “Hey check this out! What do you think? It’s my favourite dress.” She’s made similar proclamations about her new Hello Kitty tutu all around town this week.
Caught reading in bed
February 24, 2010 — Iva
Roxie shares her love of books with her little brother Oliver and fills his crib with reading material. He seems quite pleased with this arrangement.
Mexico Vacation According to Oliver
February 7, 2010 — IvaSeems a vacation in Mexico may be the baby equivalent to a weekend in Las Vegas where no rules apply. From the sugar filled baby food to readily available banned baby products, Oliver was living la loca vida and came back bigger, stronger and moving faster.
Freewheeling in the Danger-Saucer! 
Say “Happy New Year” and show us your pearly whites!

Santa Baby
December 19, 2009 — Iva
Any reason to dress in a silly costume and collect free candy, and we’re right there. Who knew ‘twas the season to do so and it’s not even Halloween.
Who’s naughty?
December 11, 2009 — IvaSimon is, of course. Some things never change. Here he is “tickling” Roxanna in our first family Christmas photo of the season. Only 14 more days and counting…
