Emeraude’s new nest that brother put in considerable effort to retrieve (tyLloyd) Lloyd messing around to crack us up (it worked 🙂 lol) another pose with our pinecone craft.

White Lake, Ontario Lloyd & Brady were great sports, really getting into the exploration when Emeraude asked them for help catching tadpoles, leaches and other aquatic friends.

It took some work but we’ve finally made it out :). I had help to get the camper there, it needed to be taken out of the garage by four-wheeler and then was towed with a truck to White Lake Provincial Park where we hope to continue camping for a couple weeks at least. Aside… The [Read more]

Tyler and Lloyd went out to Sand Lake Saturday. Lloyd on my polaris (4 wheeler) and Tyler on his dirtbike. They had a lot of fun but I’d rather Lloyd wasn’t driving my 4 wheeler too much as it has been fixed hoping I can get on the trails for some ATV World articles. They [Read more]

Another very long day, in the back of my head at all times is White Lake and how I will deal with being unable to go if that nightmare actually materializes. Emeraude’s birthday was wonderful. 4 years old already. I can’t say that I can’t believe it as I worked hard to enjoy every [Read more]
The last 2 weeks have been very long and yet have flown by so quickly… Last week we travelled to Thunder Bay, an expense I could not afford for an appointment I did not feel was in any way necessary which made it quite stressful and I am still trying to figure out how I [Read more]
