I am realizing that it is going to be incredibly difficult to not only wake up tomorrow but also attend my a.m. doctor’s appointment in any kind of participatory way. I am struggling to peice together the pages of notes and changes that Dave (EDC) and I made to my cover letter as I am [Read more]
Well, today is a crazy busy day so here is our morning in photos (no time to blog, must work on my Second Story Press cover letter), well, Emeraude & I. Lloyd went to speak with Mr.Gorges about getting back to work and it sounds like it went pretty well; I think if he is [Read more]

We finally planted our final tray of seeds this afternoon. Emeraude just loves playing in the dirt and is so curious about the entire process. 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]
This week seems to be flying by faster than I can process. I promised the EDC photos that I have not even had a chance to look through yet *eesh*, Tomorrow I have an appointment with Dave (from the EDC) to work on my cover letter for Second Story Press and I had hoped to be much [Read more]
A couple weeks ago, Emeraude brought home a ‘dinosaur egg’ she had made at Nursery School (Her teacher, Nickie is wonderful. Obviously called to hr work and constantly finding great, creative, imaginative crafts to do with the kids). The egg had instructions to ‘let dry for 5 [Read more]
...did not think of it as Emeraude had started singing and had me enthralled lol (she makes up her own songs about whatever is going on at the time and I really just sit back and enjoy the performance - I never know what tune she might come up with or what the lyrics will be like so she has me on [Read more]

Emeraude had so much fun this weekend, it was great to see her shine and come out of her shell quite a bit as well. She received a ton of balloons, flowers and beanies from friends and family who came out to watch (Thanks everyone!) which made her feel really special. Lloyd had volunteered to [Read more]
