About Me

My photo
I enjoy spending time with my husband. He's my best friend. I love watching my kids. My girls Emma and Eva are learning, growing and changing every day. Our little boy Benjamin is a joy and has made Bobby happy to not be the only male in the house! I like to soak up every bit of their littleness, but I'm telling you they are getting so big! They are cute. My stepdaughter Eternity has lived here since 2008 and it's a blessing to have her here. A teenager in the house really adds an interesting dynamic. Seriously, she's a good kid. We live on a busier street and we are doing a lot of work in our backyard to make it prettier. I should say Bobby is doing most of the work. I'm usually holding a baby or caring for one of the kids or keeping them out of harms way as Bobby works with manly, heavy tools. Life is busy, but I don't want to miss the special moments that come along every day.

Sarah's Departure

My mother-in-law Sarah arrived to our house from Winnipeg on December 12, 2007. She was here for Christmas with us. She was here when Eva Sarah finally arrived on January 8, 2008. She was here for many more exciting times like my birthday, Emma's 2nd birthday up until yesterday. Yup, she flew back to Winnipeg yesterday. I'm really feeling it today. She was soooo helpful while she was here. She would tidy up toys, tidy up the kitchen, help Emma with meals, cook the occasional pot of soup, and hold Eva. Her time here was invaluable. I knew that it would be an adjustment when she left and I tried to prepare myself. But this is the first day that I've had my 2 children on my own (while Bobby's at work :) It seems really hard and lonely today, but I know that it will get better with time. It was fun to have Sarah here for the company. She has a really good sense of humour and she loves to break out a game of Settler's of Catan any time. Sarah is deaf, so she taught me lots of sign language while she was here. Although that can be somewhat of a language barrier, we got along fine and dandy. Anyways, it's sad to see her go, but we know she was really looking forward to seeing her friends again. So, as much as we will miss her, we are happy and blessed that she was here as long as she was. We'll miss you Sarah! :) See you on the webcam! :)
