It is great to see just how much she trusts him, Emeraude began feeling weary of swinging last summer...much more impressive when she kept asking to sit on Lloyd so he could pump them so hard they were up side down ... [Read more]
I needed to stop by the hospital first for a dilaudid injection before the three of us went to play at the Lion’s beach to play (Lloyd would be heading out for NSSSAA in Geraldton tomorrow) and the kids went by the cafeteria for some sandwhiches in the meantime. After eating they headed [Read more]
...leave it behind in his locker to rot not wanting to stand out or being embarrassed (I was never on many sports teams but my freinds and I always loved extra food, as I mentioned so have his friends when I've done stuff, so I don't really understand his view on this but still try to respect it [Read more]
Well, I think it’s time for another IV Solumedrol treatment.

We walked to Grandmaman & Grandpapa’s for supper. Grandmaman made salmon pies (no meat) for Good Friday and they were DELICIOUS. After supper she & Emeraude decorated an Easter tree which Emeraude had a blast doing. Because of my Mom’s job, I don’t post photos of her on [Read more]

We discussed differences in the sizes/types/colours of our seeds and tried to use what we learned from the last tray (sticking to one seed / square; not [Read more]
...recipe for the colouring solution. I melted parafin wax which Emeraude used a shishkabob stick to draw with on some eggs, we dipped a couple into it (just the ends) and also just drizzled the wax randomly on others. Lots of fun, they look great, just need to pick up some inexpensive baskets from [Read more]
Well, it’s been quite a bit of work but we are finally done! Yesterday Emeraude & I cut a ‘door’ into the pinata & filled it with the goodies bags we had made for her friends. We then taped the door shut and papier maché’d over that so it would be smooth for [Read more]
