No time to write tonight as I am committed to getting Emeraude Exploring: The Post Office finished before we have our tour at the Fire Station… This means finishing editing of the photos (there are privacy issues to be cautious of, Jen will be reviewing the photos & approving them before [Read more]
Service was wonderful this morning. Emeraude really enjoyed herself at Sunday School and even went up for the Children’s Prayer (big girl). As for me, I am feeling renewed, God spoke to me this morning and told me that He needed to use me & my photography to spread His message. And so, [Read more]
Emeraude & I went to the Lion’s beach for a little play and to get more sand for her sand box. We sift the beach sand to make sure it’s clean, and to take out larger rocks and then cart it home. After yesterday’s additional sand, her sandbox is nearly full and I think a [Read more]
Painting in the woods… Friday, I had promised Emeraude a nature walk and though it was getting late and she had also earned a movie night I was committed to keeping my word (I needed some time in the bush with her as much as she did with me) Unfortunately, the time for my [Read more]
have I mentioned that I love summer? After the High School band Spvering Concert at the Public School the other day, Emeraude wanted to “just make a few bubbles Mommy” and I couldn’t refuse; in fact, after snapping these photos I decided to join in the fun for a while. I love how [Read more]
Just a couple photos I like from today. Lloyd finished the new paint job on his old board {now to be his ‘new’ board as the other one broke in half so this one will inherit the trucks/wheels to become new again.} Emeraude taking the ‘paper’ we made yesterday recycling [Read more]
DANCING RAISINS – 2nd Attempt This posts continues from our orignial experiment which hadn’t had the intended results… Our raisins were stationary 🙁 . Well, that certainly was not the case with this 2nd attempt! Emeraude was really excited to see it work (as were Lloyd & I [Read more]
Emeraude & I had some trouble getting to the High School’s spring concert. They had a public performance Tuesday night which we missed as Emeraude was under the weather; then they performed at the Catholic School but Emerude still wasn’t feeling too well and ended up napping [Read more]
I had bought this kit for Vickie’s kids as a thank you to her for having driven us to Thunder Bay. In hindsight I could have purchased one for Emeraude right away also – if you’re interested, they’re at Walmart – because I knew it was something almost any child would [Read more]
Not sure if I’ve posted this one before as it is a favourite of Emeraude’s… She really gets a kick out of how you mix the whip cream into the jell-o but then it seperates again while cooling. Want a healthier version? add some fresh or canned fruit, almost any are delicious. There [Read more]

It was an incredibly long day and, after all the craziness, Emeraude was not up to playing soccer. She asked to stay home and I obliged agreeing that she had done enough for one day (and had way more patience than any 4 year old should need). This of course did not mean that she was [Read more]
All the kids had great sportsmanship, wishing each other good luck before competing, congratulating each other afterwards – just a nice afternoon all around. Emeraude enjoyed watching her cousins (we didn’t see Denika 🙁 but her 4 cousins from my side of the family were there as was [Read more]
Saturday morning, Turn off the Screens Week fun continued in Manitouwadge with a Bike Rodeo sponsored by the Ontario Provincial Police, Manitouwadge Leisure Services and the Thunder Bay District Health Unit. The rec centre auditorium was packed with young bikers, eager to show off their knowledge [Read more]
After a very long day, yet another trip to the hospital for pain meds (these had been quite discouraging on this day as their had been an incident where a nurse refused to give me my meds wanting me to wait & speak to the doctor and not thinking I would, (of course patients do [Read more]
