Day 13

Today was a great day both for photography and life in general. Just before the kids went skating with school, I got the call them I was to come and pick up mum from the hospital. I told her I would be down as soon as the kids were done with skating :)
These are Quinn's brand new skates (thanks D'bis) all tied up and ready to use. I love the contrasts in this picture. I am toying with the idea of turning it black and white. This is Quinn on the ice! He was having a jolly old time out there. Thank goodness for the skating helper he was given.

Madison's class went at the same time as Quinn's but they were on another ice pad at the same arena. I went over to take a few pictures of her. Unfortunately her rink was a lot darker then Quinn's and my pictures turned out blurry and dark. I am only posting this one, its better then the rest.

Wyatt decided to take a break in the penalty box...he looked so cute peaking over the edge!!!

Wyatt just motored around the rink! GO Wyatt!!!

Christopher was standing on his own two feet! Good job Christopher!!

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 :)
