Glorious March break

Wow! Could it be any nicer out? Heidi is celebrating with a spring frock!

You might think the travel obsessed Locks might have gone somewhere exotic on brendans first March break, but Rob had firefighter training for the township  volunteer fire department so we hung out close to home, and introduced the twins to warm weather with lots of walks outside. Brendan was keen on riding his bike, and then hanging out in the driveway to "work on it " with his tools. Like father like son!

We finally hit the road this weekend and went to Mont blanc near Montreal to teach Brendan to ski. It was a very precious picture seeing him all geared up! He was bored by his lesson but thrilled when dad agreed to take him to the top of the mountain on the chair lift. Rob held on to him all the way down, but it was a great first experience for him! We went with our friends Heather and Blaine and split ski days between parents. Yesterday was possibly the most glorious day of downhill skiing I have ever had. It was 20 degrees, and I was skiing in my T-shirt... crazy!! I've even got the sunburn to prove it!

The twins helped me start some spring cleaning: they've grown out of bouncy chairs and swaddling blankets and nursing pillows (sadly, they've started to wean themselves despite my long lectures about the cost of formula). Swaddling blankets are definitely out, since I've gotten up twice in the night this week to find that Heidi has rolled onto her tummy and can't get back, poor thing!

Well, from our family to yours, Happy Spring!
