The Winters Family: Showing Ana the Ropes

Showing Ana the Ropes

Last night I had a messy kitchen to clean. But it was hard to focus on that with both Owen and Ana being demanding of my attention. Owen started to empty out the contents of my plastic ware drawer and I saw an opportunity. I planted a crying Ana on the floor next to the drawer and waited to see what would happen. Curious but unsure, Ana dipped right in and Owen proceeded to show her how it was done. The two of them played alongside one another for a half an hour with this drawer and it's contents! I was able to do what I needed to do, but then the bottom half of my kitchen needed some work. It never ends. If it's not one thing, it's another!

Love you lots.

Hello!

Welcome to our blog. This was started as a means to keep our friends and family in touch and up to date with our lives while we lived in lovely Vancouver, BC from 2006 - 2011, and in Boston, MA from 2011 - 2013. I took a break from blogging for a long while but since Boston, we did a 6 month stint in beautiful Denver, CO and then ultimately ended up in San Francisco, CA in Feburary of 2014 where we currently reside. Chris' job has taken us across the continent 3 times, sometimes far, sometimes near but mostly far.

We would much rather be up close and personal in person but since distance is between us and those we hold close and love, this is a pretty good way of closing that gap a bit. Not only that, but this has turned into a diary of some sorts featuring my son, Owen and daughter, Ana. It is a way of preserving those moments that have made us laugh, cry and grow, something I hope to present to them when they're older and curious about how they were as children.

With the kids older and Chris and I feeling nostalgic, Chris not-so-subtly hinted that he missed the posts that I used to put on here. So did I. I wasn't sure I could remember my log-in password in order to resume where I last left off but hey... Something must've worked because here I am! Again. Hi. How have you been? It's been way too long, right? Yea... I know but that's life. It passes you by fast and the jump from my last post from August 2012 to 2016 is evidence of that.

Love,
Marisa
