Maeve spent a week as the only child in the house. It was a busy week for Conor and I as we finished up getting ready to be foster parents. Maeve loved having the toys and her parents all to herself. She played so hard and I had some fun doing some toddler specific activities with her.

We went back to Yahk for a weekend to drop Holly and Greta off for kidcation. We played pretty hard when we were there. We went to Kootenay Lake twice and we found a hike to go on. My sister and her family were out there too so there was lots of cousin bonding and laughs. And Chef Blakey fed us all like kings!

We toured the Lougheed House with my Mom and niece (high five free day!). It's a fancy, old house and it's pretty amazing. The gardens are especially jaw dropping!

Any chance we get to hike with the Larsens, we always take it! We hiked with them in Kananaskis and had a great time! We left Maeve at the campsite with my niece, Cora, and the rest of us trooped up to the top. It was a pretty good up climb and the kids did great overall! We lunched in a mossy meadow sheltered from the wind and it was perfection.

My birthday dress tradition is still going strong. Sometimes, I'm really surprised that my big girls still want me to make them dresses for their birthdays! But they absolutely love it! Holly helped pick out the fabric (from a few choices I had curated) and she chose between two patterns. She really likes this dress and it's super cute on her!
