DANCING RAISINS – 1st Attempt Well, we gave this a try yesterday before nap time but did not have great results. We were using Ginger Ale (have agreed that we need to buy some fresh pop and will try for one that is more clear such as 7up or sprite) that Lloyd had upstairs. The [Read more]
Emeraude won a bubble kit from the Firefighter’s Challenge the other night (thank you Jackie for being so warm & helpful! & Thanks also to Jen for your help so I could work, now I just cross my fingers that it wasn’t for nothing); she had been admiring this very kit for some [Read more]
Ok, so the article for Turn off the screens week is giving me a hard time… I’d love to blame it on Jackie from whom I’m waiting for a couple numbers but really can’t as I could, in theory, write it out with fake numbers and then just fill them in when I have them. [Read more]
This morning, because Emraude would be having her cake with family later, I helped her open a card she received from Gandma Teena (Daniel’s Mother) a few days prior. She was so excited about the card which had a ”pendant’ that you could punch out from it with a [Read more]

Each year the Manitouwadge Leisure Services department improves on their annual Children’s Festival and 2009 was no exception… It isn’t fancy to look at but I would challenge you to find a child d not enjoy themselves thoroughly or who isn’t dissapointed when they must [Read more]

I am pretty much in the same shape these days as I have been all year other than 3 good weeks in March when the IV Steroids I received successfully reduced my symptoms (fatigue, pain, weakness in legs, etc). I go to the hospital for dilaudid injections to make the bone/muscle pain (neuropathic [Read more]
We went to the playground behind Graham (street) tonight and had a blast. We laughed too hard, played shark (some of that in the photos), boating, loved every minute of the silliness! Both the kids were so much fun. We went to the Petro after and bought gummy bear twisters (Lloyd & Emeraude) [Read more]
Today was crazy… Too much time wasted at the hospital and without any good reason (mix ups and miscommunications ruled my day which can be extremely frustrating, thankfully the nurse who was working Friday evening is very patient and sweet). So, when I was finally able to get to the [Read more]
