Day 12

Today wasn't a very busy day in the way of the camera, but I managed to snap some shots from my iphone as well as my camera. Please excuse the quality of the shots taken on my iphone its a really simple camera.
After we dropped the kids off at school we took Bekah to her gymnastics class here!
This is Bekah on the balance beam :) Her gymsuit is so bright. Hard to believe Madison wore it when she was 2 and Bekah is almost 5 and it fits her!
Bekah walking on the balance beam. The lighting in the gym is very poor. I couldnt' get too close with the camera and flash. Next week is her last week and we are allowed in the gym for photos.

After we picked the kids up from school we had a mishap and Raven was let out. She walked very calmly down the drive to Sue's house where she anxiously waited for Pudge to be let out. These 2 dogs are the best of friends. They tear around the yard so fast, you have to brace your knees or they will take you out. This is their famous move dog over dog... ( Pudge is black and white in case you can't see him )

Day 11

Again not a very productive day, but I did manage to get a few shots of this screech owl who we think has taken up residence in a tree on our property. I snapped these very quickly as I didn't want to scare it away. Who knows we may end up with babies in the spring :)

Day 10

Today wasn't much better in the way of picture taking, but was much better for my mum :) She is feeling so much better. Still stuck in the Emergency room as there are no beds on the floor, but she is in good spirits! They say she will have a bed for tonight.
I took this pictures because the sky and colours were so amazing! I love a red sky in the evening. The dark trees, the reds and blues :) Nature never fails to amaze me!

Day 9

I spent most of this day going in and out of the hospital tending to my mum. Since it was only 1 person for every 24 hours for visiting, I was the only one able to get things for her and take them to her.
I don't have pictures for this day, but I am "journalling" the events.

day 8

Photos from this day were for my mum's birthday, I do have a few of them to post that she isn't looking too ill in :)
Her group that she sings with came and sang for her. It was a neat little "concert" that they did and Mum sat there and sang along :)
There are some of her cake, and the enormous amout of food that was brought for the potluck portion of her party. As well as her opening the family gifts for her.

Bekah had to pick just the right piece of cake. She is really getting so Tall! Where did my baby go???

A break in the photos

It seems that these last couple of days have just not been good photo days for me. With my stomach bug and not my mum in the hospital, my life has been crazy.

Mum is doing well now that they have given her some blood. She is feeling much better and looks amazing!
Unfortunately the hospital is at capacity so she is still in the emergency room, but is admitted to the hospital. She got about 4 hours sleep last night.
Today they are running some tests to see where she is loosing the blood from. I am hoping they are able to figure it out, treat it and get her home to her own bed very soon.
I do have pictures from her surprise party Sunday evening that I still need to look at and edit. I will post them on here as soon as I get a chance.

Thank you all who have come to the website and left comments :)

Day 7

I finally got some pictures done today. Although it was 7pm when I was able to get my camera out. I ran around the house like the papparazzi (sp?) Here are my sneaky photos.


This is Alexander playing online xbox. He is talking to someone on the headset. Love the totally relaxed look and no shirt!
Bekah being a total goofball in the kitchen while Eric was trying very hard to make dinner and not step on her.

I snuck into the dinning room and yelled BOO to Quinn and got this very good picture of him! After this he was trying to hide from the crazy woman with the camera.

Then he was doing the song "Hi my name is Joe and I work in a button Factory" He is pushing two buttons in this shot.

Then he went into the Kitchen trying to act grumpy. We weren't fooled though. He is trying very very hard to not laugh. I think this lasted all of 10 seconds!Then Daddy got the right tickle spot and the grumpy face was gone. My camera just about got kicked in the squirming that followed the tickles!

To close out the pictures tonight I have this one of Quinn and his Carey ( tenderheart bear that he calls Carey) Carey is very very well loved. He got him for his 5th birthday. Hard to believe that the bear is only coming up on 2 years old and looks like he does.

He sleeps with him everynight and even went to school for an entire year (stayed in his backpack)!
