40 years ago today...

My Mom & Dad were married....40 freaking years, can you believe that?? Where does the time go? That means I'm creeping up on 40...but not yet...phew! :o) Much love to my beloved folks, wishing you 40 more years together! Hope you enjoy your night away...I know I would enjoy a break from this chaos!! Love you muchly.

Spending a very stressful anniversary day on Buck Lake!

Happy 140th Birthday Canada!

How lovely to be back in our "homeland" for our national day of celebration. Hard to believe that one year ago I took the kids to Trafalgar Square to celebrate our heritage! We took the kids into the local town for the Canada Day parade and now we are home relaxing and debating on returning for the fireworks....depends on how relaxed we get and whether or not the weather decides to cooperate! Hope my fellow Canucks are having a great day...here's to the best country in the world!

The kids in their Canada Day finery!

Happy Birthday Mumma/Grandma 29/6/2007

Here's to you, my beloved Mom & fantastic Grandma, on your 63rd birthday...oops, did I say that out loud?? :o) Hope you had a wonderful day, how fantastic that we got to celebrate together this year...on the same continent! The lobster was divine, kudos to Dad for the exceptional cooking of the darling crustaceans...hehe. Sorry I had to run away while you murdered/cooked them...hahaha! I need at least an hour until I can face the cake...ugh. Nice to know that your only granddaughter has inherited her Mommy's "champagne taste", I'm obviously raising her right!!

Cheers to Grandma!

Hey, what's that on your plate??
Only the legs left...poor little lobster! LOL

We all love you so very much, happy day to you!
Love,
Darling Daughter & the gang XO

Happy Fathers Day!

Happy Fathers Day to Tim and Norm, what a lovely day we all had (with the exception of Delsin pitching into the lake...hehe) and we all love you both very much! How wonderful that we all got to celebrate together this year! Here's to many more days like this!

Love, hugs and smooches,
Laura, Janette, Connor, Cameron, Maeghan, Delsin, Oscar, Schat & Bug XOXOXO

"Super-Ballerina" strikes again!

Just wanted to announce some amazing news from today!! Mae's wonderful ballet teacher, Miss Hill, mailed us Mae's R.A.D. Grade 3 Ballet results from her exam taken on 29 April. I'm so very proud to say that my princess received a "Distinction" with an 87% grade...woo hoo, way to go peanut!! **Mommy doing happy dance** This is an amazing achievement and Mae is so thrilled and pleased with herself, as she should be! Congrats to "ma petite ballerine", everyone is so proud of you, well done on all your hard work and it certainly paid off! Many thanks to Miss Hill who prepared all the girls so well, we will miss her very much and can only hope we find as wonderful a teacher as her wherever we end up living. Congrats to all Mae's classmates as well, we hope you were pleased with your results too!

What a wonderful way to end the week, hope you are all having a fantastic week too.
