Spring Fever



The mild winter didn't leave any of us less excited for the warm weather. In fact, it's made us down right crazy. Avery has been more energetic than normal (I didn't think that was possible!).

We've been enjoying this brief thaw by taking walks around Roncy and through the park. We haven't hit up any playgrounds yet (it's still a bit cold and muddy), but I am sure that's not far behind. Today on our walk through the neighborhood, we came across a most horrific sight. Our favourite brunch spot, Freshwood Grill, closed down. They had the most amazing wraps that came with delicious sweet potato fries. In the summer the patio was always packed. It's such a shame. Thank goodness Roncy is filled with great places to eat; it will just be a battle deciding on which one is our new favourite.

We've been enjoying the last few weeks of calm before the new baby arrives by having some family outings. This morning we hit up my favourite patisserie, Ma Maison. I can not tell you how much damage I will do there while on maternity leave (both on the pocket and on my waistline!).

Avery is loving the toddler room at school. He and his two best friends, Andy and James, are like the three musketeers. They actually swap shoes all the time; Avery was wearing Andy's running shoes on Friday when I went to pick him up. Apparently they trade boots as well. It's nice to know he adjusted rather quickly to the change. Hopefully he'll do just as well with the arrival of his little brother. I guess we'll find out soon enough!
