7 Months Already!


Paige is growing so fast. She is already 7 months and getting bigger and bigger everyday. Some of the most exciting news: SHE CUT HER FIRST TOOTH  &  SHE'S CRAWLING!!! We are so excited as she has been LOVING food. Some of her favorites are well everything, there hasn't been a single thing that she has not liked; rice, oatmeal, barley, squash, sweet potatoes, peas, carrots, chicken, egg yolk, grapes, strawberries, pomegranate, apple, pear, peach. It's so much fun to start teaching her sign language although she hasn't picked up any quite yet...Elle loves practicing it with her though. Paige is getting around in a crawl/scoot that is getting better and better everyday. I LOVE watching her learn- she is so funny!!!! What a good little girl she is. She had to be taken to emergency one evening as we discovered she had a double ear infection. It was so sad to see her sick; she was so cuddly with me as she wasn't feeling well. 
We love Paige and can't imagine our lives without her. She teaches us all about smiling and having a desire to discover the world around us. Ell
e loves being a big sister and is very good at making sure Paige has a toy to play with.

Hot Yoga

front center.jpg
I was introduced to Hot Yoga this last week. It is amazing! A group of us girls went this last week and had such a fun night out discovering a new way to exercise that is quite relaxing, invigorating, and cleansing. I can't believe how HOT the room gets, how sweaty we all got, and how good it felt afterwards. I woke up this morning sore...I never would have thought that Yoga would be a very good exercise. I was wrong- I loved it! It's so different and I felt like I was in a different world...I guess technically it is, because it is on 17th Ave. People up there are a little strange...haha. What a fun girls night. I can't wait to go again!


Woolf Family Reunion...."1 Another"


We had so much fun at the first Woolf Family Reunion..."1 Another"!!!
We went out to Fairmont, BC for an entire week with all the sisters and brother. It was so much fun and crazy loud with all us Woolf's and 9 kids under the age of 4...haha. We planned the week to focus around songs that we remember from when we were young and also had activities that went with these songs and focused on the kids. Since we were having the reunion in Fairmont (a place that we have been going to since I was born) we felt that bringing back some of these memories would be fitting. The week was themed "1 Another" becuase that is what we want to do....Love 1 Another, Play with 1 Another, Work with 1 Another, ect. I worked really hard with alot of help from a friend and my sister to get some shirts made for the occasion for all 21 of us. I think that they turned out pretty good and everyone liked them. Thanks for everyones help!! This is how the week looked like:

Thursday--> Families Are Together Forever; this is the day that most people arrived, we made a tableclothe with everyone's handprints on it
Friday--> Skinamerinkydinkydink; we made Sock Puppets that turned out so good!
Saturday--> Popcorn Popping; we strung popcorn necklaces, water balloons, caramel popcorn
Sunday--> I love to see the temple; we built temples/candy houses with milk cartons and marshmellows, went on our traditional Fairmont Golf Ball hunt; we took some 
awesome family pictures this day as well
Monday-->If You Chance to Meet a Frown; face painting
Tuesday--> Bula Bula; we played the game, hide n' seek, soccer, and had an egg hunt with plastic easter eggs filled with smarties
Wednesday--> Oh Canada!; Woolf Family Olympics, this is my mom's favorite holiday so we went all out with maple leaf sugar cookies, the famous Canada Day square, and then ended the day with fireworks at the Fairmont Lodge...was a really fun day!
Thursday--> So long, farewell! Some of us had to leave this day...others got to party for one more day and left on Friday morning.
What a fabulous week. We had so much fun being together, swimming everyday, making memories, and watching our children play together. I can't wait for the next reunion.

-sleeping 3-4hrs at a time at night
-loves her feet
-scoots backwards when she's in her pushup stance
-puts everything in her mouth
-loves to be right in on all the action
-laughs at anything Elle does
-loves her Mommy
-good baby, hardly cries

-squeels

We are so excited for all that Paige is learning to do. Jared, Elle, and I love watching her grow bigger and bigger everyday. We love you Paigee-Goose!
Elle is such a good BIG sister. I walked in on Elle reading to Paige "There's a monster in my house, Don't be Silly Milly, I think it's only Box (Fox)".  She loves to play with Paige, read to her, make her laugh, and gets upset when she is sad. They will be best friends forever!!!
