18 years ago today...

We said, "I do". :o)

Now we're both 40 (EEK), have two teenagers (now "highschoolers"!), one 12 year old (an "intermediate"), and our "baby" is almost 7 (and a "second grader"!). We've lived in eastern and western Canada, Belgium & England! Holy shit, where the hell has the time gone????

I think I need another drink. :oD

Here's to 18 more. At least. ;o)

Thanks to our lovely family for the cards, gifts and calls, we love you.

Dirty rotten scoundrel husband...

Happy Birthday to...ME! Revenge shall be sweet, my love. Lucky for you, your gift was kick-ass! :oD

Love all of you, thank you for all the thoughtful phone calls, emails, gifts & cards and thanks for making my day so much fun already!
xoxo

Happy 12th, Princess!

Here's to you Miss Maeghan, growing up to be such a beautiful, loving, caring, sweet young woman. Well, we'd better stick to "girl" for now so that Daddy's heart doesn't break. :oD I know you will have a fantastic day as we all spoil you...and then chuck you in the lake later...hehehe. We love you lots and lots.

Mom, Dad, Connor, Cam, Del, Oscar & Bug xoxo

Good morning 12 year old girl!

Birthday hugs from baby brother. Awwwwww...Let's get this present party started!!
Giggling about her Grandparents' cards being exactly the same!
Laughing at Daddy who was distressed about the "unmentionables" Mae received!
Hahahahaha Daddy. (Just wait until she gets big boobs...mwah haha)
SCORE...just what she wanted. Did I mention she is spoiled??
Ooooh, aaaaah, shiny new gadget...

Cottage life, our style!

Just because we're at the "cottage" doesn't mean we are roughing it, by any means! We are completely civilized, dontcha know. ;o) Some fun from our week off...despite the crap weather! :oP

HEY...what are those??
Kittens...wheeee!

Mae & Del swim to "Connor's Cave" with Sammy and Alex
They made it and check out the cave!
And back they come!

The tattoo continues...

Last Saturday Tim returned to Mike's shop to start adding colour to his tattoo, here's how it's looking so far: (oh, and my bad, the large flower in the tat is a chrysanthemum, NOT a lotus...silly Mommy :o) )

Mike works some colour magic on the koi!
Thought I'd torment Mike with another top-of-head shot...hehe
Looking good!
What a pretty fish!
The colours in the chrysanthemum are gorgeous!

Once this heals up, Timmy will be back for more torture, um, I mean, colour! :oD
