Kind of.. just little ones haha. Emeraude’s green bean plants have flowered and have little small beans (fèves, haricots en français mais je ne suis pas cetaine s’ils ont un nom speciale en englais) and they are DELICIOUS although we have only tasted 2 and are trying to let them keep [Read more]
The boys were playing around on their skateboards in the driveway the other night and I couldn’t resist getting some photos, they are such great sports, always ready to strike a pose for me or re-take a jump lol. The photo could come in handy when we are able to get to work on getting a [Read more]
Feel free to print the book if you have a little one in your life (2-6 yrs) who would like to read it. It is for personal use only (not to be sold in whole or in part) and I would ask that if you enjoy it and would like someone else to have a look, you link back to here. [Read more]
I continue to work diligently on the Emeraude Exploring collection. Last week we visited Canada Post. Jen was AWESOME! Emeraude enjoyed herself very much and we both learned all about the journey an envelope takes through the post office. The photos went well (unfortunately, the Post Master is shy [Read more]
Emeraude & Daddy made boats out of craft supplies and recycled materials. The boat with pontoons and a sail was their group effort (very nice) and the other small one Emeraude imagined and built all on her own. We had a lot of fun playing at the lion’s beach after we were done with our [Read more]
I was blessed this morning to have the opportunity to attend a wonderful church service. I went to church alone, which is unusual for me, I cannot recall the last time I went to church without my children but they were of course in my thoughts and prayers as they are always. Emeraude slept at [Read more]

Next Month in Chirp . We’re still working through our April issue and having a blast doing so. In Manitouwadge, they sell Chirp at the pharmacy, wherever else you may live it’s worth finding if you have a child (or work with children), [Read more]
LOL… that’s Emeraude’s motiviational song for when she & Lloyd are doing there Saturday morning garbage pick up around the house, great tune lol Spent way too much of my morning at the hospital earlier although it’s hard to complain about it when Vickie drove me and lost [Read more]
Long day… I am very dissapointed and concerned that I am still dealing with fatiuge, pain and other symptoms although my solumedrol treatment is done. I did not go to the hospital yet today although this is not from lack of pain but rather because the doctor prescribed new oral pain meds that [Read more]
At bedtime, before our story, we decided to begin working on our dreamcatcher. The materials included in the kit are quite nice and seem plentiful (it can be aggravating when craft kits are skimpy on quantity of supplies). Tonight is also my last IV Solumedrol treatment (5 of 5) and although I [Read more]
Ok, another very busy day (in spite of having less than adequate supplies of energy). The kids were a huge help. So was Vickie as she has been ever since my symptoms began coming back with a vengeance last week. She goes beyond giving me rides to the hospital and has been calling to arrange [Read more]
Mom & Dad were in Thunder Bay last week for personal business. Before leaving she had asked me for ideas as to what she might pick up that I can’t get here in the way of materials for Emeraude’s home schooling. I had given her a few ideas but did not really have any expectations [Read more]
Well, putting the IV in was a chore… Mary was a doll though, very patient, kept it fun and didn’t get upset that my veins kept poping. After 6 attempts we finally decided to just go anti-cubital, sheesh. Well, can’t say she didn’t put in a great effort! I am hoping that [Read more]
...The way she had to walk when she got up realizing her pants had taken in water and she was soaked through, we tried wringing out her mittens which were saturated but ... [Read more]
