Jen & Tim: the sweetest wedding on Fool's day

Jen and Tim's intimate wedding of 9 was something incredibly special to be part of.

I'll admit, a little part of me was wondering if I would find anyone when I arrived that morning on April 1st, as an elaborate April Fool's trick on me. But I assure you, this wedding was no joke.

The entire wedding was able to fit in the world's smallest chapel for the ceremony and the guests played the Bridal Chorus on kazoo's as Jen walked down the aisle. The joy for these two filled the tiny chapel and not a single eye was dry when Jen and Tim said their vows - including mine.

To celebrate their nuptials, they surprised everyone with a helicopter ride to dinner, but not without a look at Niagara Falls from above!

Talk about arriving in style! (And the Falls from above were pretty darn cool too!)

Superstition has it that a fella fooled by a pretty girl on April Fools is fated to end up married to her. It was meant to be. April 1st will always be the anniversary for Jen and Tim for me! I am so incredibly happy for them! Congratulations!

Niagara Falls

We took a short visit to the falls last week. Ellie was impressed with the amount of water and sea gulls she saw. But she was mostly interested in climbing and balancing on ledges. She is very in to climbing these days.

Even though it was a cold, wet, and cloudy day, the falls looked beautiful with snow around it (even the dirty layered snow that looks like sedimentary rock). But the sun peaked out for a moment and Ellie saw her first rainbow. We all squealed of course.

I have been to Niagara a few times this year already, including once for a really fun wedding. I'm excited to share it with you soon!

weekend adventure

A good friend from France stopped by for a day in Toronto over the weekend. We decided to go adventuring on the Island. Adventuring at a 2 year old's pace that is, which can be really slow at times. The ferry ride was the highlight for Ellie, she was so excited by the wind and water of the lake.

We didn't get very far on the island and sadly, the bicycle booth was not open for the season yet. I was really hoping to ride a quadricycle! I still got to show off my favourite view of Toronto! It is finally starting to feel like spring, I'm really looking forward to bringing our bikes on the island this summer for some more island picnics.

Ellie woke up from her nap that day saying "boat", she must have been dreaming of the water and the ferry!

two

And in the blink of an eye, our little baby turned TWO this weekend!

She is full of beans and it is hard to get a photo of her standing still these days! All signs of a healthy, happy toddler!

The second last photo is her "smiling face". Every kid has one right?

Happy Birthday little Eloise!
