"A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014."

Monkey: This kid loves rules. And, he loves when everyone knows the rules and follows them. Must love him.

Little Bean: I think she said "Hi" this week. I know I'm dreaming, but I swear it happened.

OUR BIG MOVE

Bermuda is a lovely little island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. It is also the place we will call home starting this September. That's right! Our family is in the midst of packing up our life here in fast-paced, metropolitan Toronto and moving to this lush, beautiful island where everyone welcomes you with a friendly smile and greeting.

Although my mind is preoccupied with the task of moving -- and at times looking at my to-do list is truly overwhelming -- I hope to get back to regular posts soon. In the meantime, I'm going to try and stick to my challenge of capturing Monkey and Little Bean each week.

Please bear with me!

"A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014."

Monkey: We spent the week in Bermuda and one rainy evening he was treated to his first arcade game. Saying he was in heaven is an understatement.

Little Bean: Our rainy and windy weather in Bermuda meant that she and Monkey spent a lot of time rolling around on their "cloud" (a.k.a. plush hotel bed). She wants to do everything that he does.

"A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014."

Monkey: Here he is yelling at the top of his voice ... "I can see the whole world from here!" 

Little Bean: This week she's mastered the art of clapping and now she's on to the wave.

"A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014."

Monkey: Sometimes he seems so much older and wiser than his three young years. 

Little Bean: She's trying so hard to pull herself up to stand that it leaves her grunting, huffing and puffing.
