Did you miss us?

WOW!!! Its been a while!  Sorry for the lack of posts in the last few weeks its been a little busy around our house!
In the past few weeks we have redone our bedroom, feed Madison pancakes and Chris has learnt he needs to have surgery to repair a tare in his shoulder. Exciting news... MADISON STARTS SWIMMING LESSONS!! May 6th will be the first of many I am sure! Also on May 6th Miss. M will be taking her first plane trip! We are heading to Florida. Unfortunately Chris will not be joining us, but we are looking forward to having an amazing week of relaxation with my mom, dad, brothers and Emily!

Here are a few pics from the past few weeks! Enjoy!
A few photos from Madison photo shoot!

HAPPY EASTER!

Yesterday for Chris' birthday we spent the day with Miss Madison and the night with some good friends and family! We took Madison to the park.. and she LOVED it! Madison wasn't thrilled with the slide but she was so happy on the swings! I think it is safe to say that when she is bigger she will ask to go to the park alot!  








After an amazing day with the little princess, we drop her off to Aunt Kate's house and we went out to dinner at Gasho for some amazing hibachi food! We even got to embarrass Chris a little, we had the waiters sing Happy Birthday to him!



We hope everyone is having an amazing Easter or Passover!! See you all again soon :)

The good & the bad

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRIS!




This past week has been a hard one for the Murray clan, Chris' grandfather Walter passed away on Monday April 2nd. After a hard battle with cancer Walter joined his wife Ruth (who passed in January) and his son AJ (who passed last February). 

We would like to thank everyone for all their condolences and prayers in this tough time. 

This post is really all over the place today..

My Oma is doing well since having her valve replacement a few weeks ago! She should be transferred to a hospital closer to home soon!

Off to celebrate Chris' birthday :)

Oh Canada...

Hey everyone!
This past week has been an emotional roller coaster, and I cannot begin to thank people enough for all their prayers and support. If you didn't know.. my Oma had a heart attack last friday and was taken to the Ottawa Heart Institute while she waited for a valve replacement, well I am happy to say the surgery was performed yesterday with great success!! 
Upon hearing about my Oma I wasted no time getting things ready so Madison and I could go up to Canada to be with my family. We left early Saturday morning and returned Thursday afternoon. It was a fast, short but much needed trip. We were lucky that the nurses allowed me to bring Madison in to see my grandmother. One good thing about this trip was WE GOT TO SEE MY FAMILY :)
Living 6 hours away from my parents and brothers is tough at times and now with Madison it's even tougher, as we would like my family to be able to see her grow and change. We use Facetime ALOT!  While we were home we got to see Uncle Brett play in the Annual Midget Hockey Tournament in Prescott, and I also travelled to Belleville with my dad to see Uncle Ryan & the Ottawa 67's play game 4 of their playoff series. The outcome of both games wasn't great. :( Maybe I am bad luck. We also got to have lunch and hang out with Uncle Ryan. Ryan lives about 45 min from my parents and with his hockey schedule its hard to find time to meet up, but lucky us we saw him twice! Madison was very happy she got to spend time with both her uncles. Its funny watching them interact with Madison, she looks like a doll when they hold her! I also got to finally introduce Madison to my Aunt Claudia, Uncle Mark and Aunt Judy. 
We made some time to meet up with my friends as well! I was so happy to meet Khloe my friend Cara's 1.5month old! She is adorable! Its great to know that in a few years that when Madison goes to Canada she will already have a friend.  
BUT we all know you really just came to the blog to see pictures of our little one.. so here we go!

"Ok Mommy what is this little thing?"


 Madison grabbed Khloe's hand after awhile and starting "talking" to her.. we can already tell they will be great friends!

 Got to see Ryan score his first OHL playoff goal! He had an amazing game!

 Such a happy little girl.. I still cannot get over how much Madison smiles and laughs! 
Thanks for checking us out... :) xoxo
