Last snow on the block...

You can see our little blob of snow in the middle of the pic!

Our house has the last snow in Scugog me thinks!! We don't get very much sunlight on the front of our house, only a brief bit in the morning, and for some strange reason we seemed to get the largest dump of snow this winter!! Even the neighbours commented on how high our snowbanks were compared to everyone around us...weird! So there it clings, holding on, desperately. :o) The temps are supposed to keep climbing this week so I think the end is near for our little snow pile.

On the homefront, Tim's leg is infected...AGAIN...but he has now seen the infectious disease specialist who agrees that this has been going on for too long. An MRI has been scheduled in May and Tim is most likely looking at surgery again, poor guy. It's possible the pins in his ankle are causing trouble and may need to be removed but we won't know anything until they get a look inside. So to keep his spirits up he like to be a Rock Star ----->

Yes honey, my ears really are bleeding...hehe...

It's been a typically busy time around here, work, school, activities, courses, etc. etc. This is such a hectic time in our lives but a very happy one too, the kids are growing and changing so much each day, the time seems to fly by! Here's a few pics of life around here over the past few weeks. You will notice the absence of any Cam pics, I've not managed to catch him unawares, he is too quick for me...haha! I promise to add a pic of him in his karate uniform soon, he is doing SUPER and has earned 3 stripes on his belt for learning his first 3 "katas" and once he memorizes his student "creed" he can try for his yellow belt! He started at the end of February and has picked it up really quickly, well done Cammy! :o)

He is SUCH a teenager now...ACK
Guess who got a "big boy backpack"? It's almost as big as him when loaded...haha!

And to end a couple of pics I took last Monday while taking Oscar for a walk downtown by Lake Scugog. I have been taking a photography course on Saturday mornings so I took my camera along to practice the "rule of thirds" (next lesson should be "overexposure of photos"...haha!) and was lucky enough to have this lovely pair of geese land on the ice right in front of me and Oscar.
And even luckier when they suddenly took flight and I got this shot:

Happy Tuesday and have a great week all.

Love all the photos. The geese are so pretty, nice work! I am sorry to hear Tim may need surgery again! I will send some positive thoughts his way!
