My beautiful Emeraude at her swimming lessons @ the Manitouwadge Oasis Pool. This foam canoe is a favourite with the kids. I am so proud of how well she is doing. She has some trust issues that when the instructors are asking her to lay back and relax (something she does in the tub with no [Read more]
Happy Sunday everyone! Usually my Sunday posts come after worship but unfortunately, though I was in town this morning, we did not make it to worship. Needed to let the kids catch up on some sleep as well as being quite fatigued myself. So, it’s been a busy week in Manitouwadge, and on the [Read more]
So, as I am still not receiving adequate doses of my pain meds, Lloyd is our cook much more often than I would like. Thankfully, he’s still making the best of it by inventing recipes now and then to keep things fun.Today at lunch, he checked out what ingredients he had for pizza and then [Read more]
Well, kind of. I think they will come to call it home before much time passes. It was after all Sylvia’s home for many years of her childhood so it is fitting that like all ‘Wadgeians she has returned and brought her family with her. I worked with Henry years ago. Well, again, kind of. [Read more]
While at Sunday Service some weeks ago I heard God’s voice. He wanted me to cover an event that was being held in Marathon, Christ’s Day. I will be writting an article about that soon, it was an amazing day and so many were helped, blessed by God’s work through those who would [Read more]
Emeraude was thrilled last weekend when Daddy invited her to a campout in his backyard. I went by in the evening to say goodnight and found them roasting marshmallows by the fire (too cute) with her in her pj’s, I couldn’t resist returning with my camera. The [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]
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]
Saturday, June 6th, after attending the OPP‘s Bike Rodeo (part of turn off the screens week) Emeraude asked to go to the Cow Palace and redeem a coupon she had recieved at the Rodeo for a free Mr.Freeze (all the kids received them for redemption at either the Cow or the Petro for wearing [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]
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]
I’m back… I was an hour early, my pain seemed at the point that it must be time and so the math made sense (I wanted it to be time and wasn’t paying enough attention counting to four lol). I had called Vickie (I would never do so late at night but she had told me [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]
