The Pictures Are In!

The pictures are in and if I do say so myself, my girlies are quite photogenic...not to mention their Mom and Pop!

These are just some tasters of the wonderful job two of my friends did.

My friend Jess Schurman was kind enough to take some fabulous maternity shots!

And another friend of mine, Amber Bourret, took some snaps after we were home. Check out her website at www.ambphotos.ca

And I loved this one of my Mighty Girl showing off her tiger stripe.
All it takes is a little Faith, Trust and Pixie Dust ;)

And now my life will fly past me in its perpetual momentum...

I once read, "Moments Stand Still. Days Crawl By. Time Flies."

At 2 o'clock in the morning it does stand still.
Fighting with a toddler crawls by.
And Heidi will be a month old tomorrow.

Sigh.

Birth announcements will be mailed out soon!

All the best :D

It's "Kebec", not "Kwebec"

We have been in Quebec (pronounced “Kebec” not “Kwebec”) for about the last 6 days. The first thing I have to bring to your attention immediately is how BIG Ontario and Quebec really are! I mean, seriously, if you haven’t looked at a map in a while, pull one out right now and really take a look. Secondly, since getting through Ontario and now having driven through Quebec, there are NO bugs… Now this may SEEM great, but I don’t think it is. Our windshield has been basically clean since we left Winnipeg. Now I hate mosquito bites as much as the next person, but we all have to admit it takes ALL things to make the world go ‘round… Thirdly, we have noticed more smoking! I cannot say for sure that they ACTUALLY have more smokers than the west, but we are sure noticing a lot more people lighting up in general. I think I speak for everyone in the family when I say Quebec has been wonderful. The campground we stayed at in Montreal was about an hour from down town. We haven’t known much a...

The Zoo, Avon & Weeds a.k.a. Life

Finally I’m able to sit down with my thoughts and blog! I know I’m beginning to say this every time, but alone-time is a precious never these days. I wouldn’t change it for anything. Last weekend was Father’s Day and I think we were able to show Daddy just how much we love and appreciate him. There’s no denying Nola is her Daddy’s girl and she was pleased to be able to wish him “Daddy Happy Day!” Kevin received a new watch and ball cap that I think he’ll actually wear! Score J Lots of things have been going on with our Macleod Momentum. The three of us girls were able to go to the Zoo with beloved cousin Stephanie, Aunt Laura and cousin Chris. Nola had a great time as long as she was in the comfort of her wagon. She was quite cautious about everything and I think pretty overwhelmed at the actual size of the lions and tigers and bears. Oh my. She’s only seen them in books, after all. We’ve also been on our fi...

The last time...

As I was putting things away in the pantry this evening, I was washed over with the memory of Oma's schnitzel. Everything about it was delicious to me; the colour, the taste, texture, familiarity. It was good hot or cold. As her and Opa's health was declining--when they still lived in the house at 53 Nagel Avenue--I made darn sure to study the technique to I could in fact make schnitzel just like her. And I think I mastered it. Today, my little family went to see her, as we do every single Wednesday. Now, she resides at The Redwoods Retirement Residence where she does not cook a one meal.. She simply catches the elevator to the dining room and is served three times a day. How convenient! But this brought me back to a thought I have linger from time to time. Maybe you have too? I wonder when the last time I ate Oma's schnitzel was...and I didn't even know it. If I had a time machine and I could set it for that particular meal, wha...
