A Lot Changes in a Year . . . But Some Things Stay the Same

After sitting through the Canada Day parade this afternoon, I came home and uploaded the pictures I had taken. I was a little disappointed and remembered having got some much better ones last year. So I thought I’d look them up. . . .



I could not believe how much my kids had grown in one short year, especially Janae!



And I couldn’t help but be grateful that after almost a year of complaining, bargaining, and threatening, I have finally convinced my husband to cut his hair on level 1 instead of 0. He’s not quite as bald as he was this time last July :)



Oh, and I was right—I did get some much better pictures last year!



The parade, unfortunately, was just as I remembered it, too—but Ben and Janae had a great time waving their flags, shouting “Happy Canada Day,” and gathering candy.

And just like last year, Janae was pretty tired by the end of it all and fell asleep in the stroller on the way home.



We'll see how next year compares. . . .
