Winter!

Winter has gone by so quickly, I can't believe it has been over two months since my last entry. We have been so busy as a family. Taylor competed in his first bodybuilding show in November. It was a fun experience but boy was I happy when it was over, I felt like my husband had been missing for a couple of months while prepping for it! After his show we spent a couple of days in downtown Vancouver at the Hyatt of course, it allowed for some much needed relaxation. 

Unfortunately, in early December, Taylor's grandmother, Mary lost a very short battle with cancer. I've only known Mary for a few years, regretfully, but she was the kind of person that made you want to be a better person. Her presence is greatly missed as I believe and I know so many other believe that she was a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day.

My mom and grandmother came to visit for the holidays. I booked their schedules pretty tight for their two week stay. We started with a night riding the train in Stanley Park, it was absolutely beautiful and of course Cade loved the train. The next morning we went up to Grouse Mountain and had breakfast with Santa. It was awesome!!! Cade loved Santa and Santa seemed to like my Granny... 

It was quite the visit, we had lots of activities planned and we did most of them, until I had an accident while skiing. My accident left me unable to walk and put a damper on the remaining few days of their trip. I'm thankful for the time with them, I know Cade loved it, especially playing trains with his "Tunnel Granny". My grandma would make tunnels for his trains and it just blew his mind!!
