Happy New Year

Happy New Year, we just got back from my mom and dad's farm yesterday. Our time was spent on the sleigh behind the horses, hockey games outside, playstation WII (which we are all now addicted too), tonnes of music, solving world problems (late at night), and great food (thanks mom).

It now seems so quiet and lonely. My oldest wasn't up for more than an hour this morning and she said she was bored. Just a few more days and school will start and the holidays will officially be over. So sad it seems like forever to get here and then goes by so fast.

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and the best to each and everyone in 2008.

A celebration of 68 years

These two lovely people are my grandparents who I admire with all my heart. Today is their 68th wedding anniversary and I know in those 68 years they have not spent many days or nights apart. Until recently Papa had to move to a seperate care home because his level of care was higher than that of Gramma's. Gramma couldn't go because...well she is just too darn healthy (at 94 years of age). I can't describe my anger and disappointment in our government about this subject. After 68 years of marriage they were told they couldn't live together anymore. Papa's memory lies in the hands of Gramma and without her with him he forgets things in the matter of a second. In order to be together they had to move to another town nearby to a facility that had two seperate rooms for them. 68 years of marriage should be a celebration and illegal to seperate two people that share the love for one another that these two do. The best news I got this year was when my mom called and said they were moving Papa and Gramma to Kinistino so they would be together and when they did mom said Papa wouldn't let "Ma" out of his sight and had a hand on her knee the whole day. It made me smile!

Congratulations on your 68th wedding anniversary Papa and Big Gramma, I love you both!

May your Holidays be Merry and Bright!

Merry Christmas to everyone and a big thank you to all my clients who have made my job so enjoyable. I look forward to the year ahead and am thankful for everyone in my life. These photos were taken last year of my mom and dad's horses. I can't wait to get there for a sleigh ride but most of all to see my WHOLE family which will actually be all together this year :-)
Hope Santa finds you all!

kitties to give away TO A GOOD HOME!

What a family of kitties we have here at the farm. Back in June we got two kittens from a neighbor and he also brought the mama kitty with to make the babies more comfortable. Well a couple weeks ago she had another batch of kittens, this time 6 babies! Needless to say we have a few kittens to give away. Don't tell my daughter, she thinks they are all hers (to tell the truth I'm not excited to give them away either but 9 cats is alot plus Percy, our house cat.) . I am pretty sure they will all be very tame by the time they are ready to leave mama kitty, Hadley has them wrapped in towels carry them around. If you or anyone you know wants a cute little grey and white kitty give me a call. You might have to come with prefrences to give Hadley.

Hadley turned 5

It has sadly happened, for me anyways. My daughter turned 5 in August. Well ya'll know what the means....KINDERGARTEN. One part of me is sad that the time has gone by so fast but the other part of me is so excited for her to be going to school. The only thing that is worrying her is that she doesn't know how to read yet. I told her she probably won't be the only one in Kindergarten that won't be able to read. None the less, she keeps practicing all her letters and what they say. Hopefully the enthusiasm will continue.
We threw a little tea party with 9 little ladies at 11am. I must say they truely were very well behaved individuals. After the girlies left some friends and family came over for supper and cake and it all ended at 11pm. Hadley had a great time and as always was sad to see everyone go home.
Thanks to everyone who helped us celebrate!
