Little People with BIG Influence
Nine years ago today I was blessed with the arrival of my only daughter. She made a quick appearance after just 90 minutes of labour and when they put her in my arms I fell instantly in love. I think my first words after seeing her were “Oh, she’s so beautiful!”. Everyone laughed (although I still don’t know why, because I believe I was correct) and I just went on to admire her some more. Beauty is just one her {Read More}
You know when you’re trucking along through life and thinking you have a good handle on things? You get the kids to school on time with clean clothes and semi brushed hair. There is a decent meal ready at end of each day and you’re feeling settled in your work life. That is when you shouldn’t get too comfortable, because it’s all likely to change. At least that is what happens in our household. Every time we get on a {Read More}
In the past twenty years, I’ve had a lot of “over” moments. I’ve been overjoyed with each new addition to our family, and a little overwhelmed too! I’ve watched the kids get over tired and over indulged (isn’t that what Grandparents are for?). I have helped them try things over and over again until they finally mastered them. I have celebrated with them when they are over the moon because of a birthday invitation or decent grade on a test. {Read More}
Our house isn’t very big. I’m not complaining, because it’s a nice home and I’m proud of it, but there aren’t a lot of options for each of us to have our own space. On cold or rainy days when the kids can’t get outside to play, I need ways to keep them occupied inside or they end up annoying one another and fighting. We love board games, but because of the different ages of our kids, that can sometimes {Read More}
This is our second week in photos. Again, I’m sorry for the quality of the photos. I’m using my phone for most of them and just trying to capture what goes on with my family each day. Jan 7/13… Kellen turned 10, and here he is about to blow out his candles. Jan. 8/13… My husband had to work on Kellen’s birthday, and here is a message he put on our whiteboard before he left. Jan. 9/13… You can get {Read More}
Who says Occupational Therapy is work? It looks like fun to me!
Kellen is ten years old today, and to celebrate this milestone I am going to share 10 things I love about Kellen (and ten of my favourite pictures too)! 1. His devilish smile. You always know when Kellen is up to something because he has this perfect smile that just screams “I’m innocent…not really.” 2. He knows how to take on a challenge. He may need some time to process it, but he usually will rise to the occasion and {Read More}
I am going to take a picture a day for the whole year…at least that’s my plan, we’ll see how long it lasts! Here are my pictures from the first week of 2013. Most are taken with my phone, so I’m sorry for the quality. January 1st… My sister-in-law introduced us to this fun marble game (also known as Aggravation or Wahoo) and we are hooked! Avery was happy to win two games on New Year’s Day. January 2nd… What {Read More}
I love that he’s waving. They were too cute.
A group of Canadians gathered at Walt Disney World for the opening of the New Fantasyland, and we were gathered together by our awesome hosts holding up this fun Canadian Mickey sign. My kids loved the sign, and we had to get some pictures with it.
