Fall Day at the park

Today just went by so quickly, that before I knew it, it was 4:30 pm and I still hadn't managed to take the kids to the park as I had said I would. So we grabbed the kids that wanted to go and off we went to the park a few blocks from the house.

The weather was fanatasic today and we managed to get some great photos of the kids playing. I got some very nice ones of Eric too :) The walk back home the kids found lots of Dandelions that had gone to seed and decided to pick and then blow some. With the sun started to set as it was after 6 pm the lighting effects in the pictures are great.

Madison Turns 10

Well its official, I am now the mother of another child who is in double digits.
I can't believe that Madison Turned 10! October 1st was a excellent day for her. She woke to a nice surprise of gifts on the couch for her. I webkinz bat (he is so adorable) and her first training bras (yes I said that word..BRA!) It is all she really really wanted. Girls grow up so fast now a days.
After school, we had cupcakes with green icing on them with our wonderful neighbour Sue and her band of children that she watches afterschool. Bobby who is one of Sue's charges shares his birthday with Madison. The kids LOVED eating the cupcakes.
On Saturday October 4th, we took Madison, Bekah and 4 other girls to the Spa for a mini manicure, Pedicure and makeup. They girls had an absolute blast!

As soon as I get photos edited I will post some up from both Parties :)

First Days of School

It has been a very long time since I have updated this website and I appologize for anyone who has been coming back and looking.

We have managed to survive the first days of school and are now into October. Everyone is well adjusted and doing great!

Everyone but Bekah started school on Tuesday Sept 2. It was a chilly but sunny morning.

Quinlan, Angus, Wyatt and Madison were ready to get moving for school as they waited on the side walk for us slow parents to get moving.

Bekahs first official full day at school was on September 1oth. She was so very excited to start school. She made her first ever lunch (as did Quinn for his first day) and off she ran to school. This is the picture I managed to capture before to toddled off to class without even a hug or kiss goodbye. I can't believe how fast they grow up and leave the nest.
