At Long Last, another Post

NO excuses, life goes on, I am not the most organized person on the planet, so I do this when I do.
Macy is growing, and attitude is showing, but she is still the BEST thing ever.

Getting Ready for Christmas 2011

Another Wonderful day with family at Sloan's Christmas Tree Farm.


Having fun cooking over the fire with Devon


Enjoying a toasted marshmallow



After finding just the right tree, it was time to cut it down with a little help from Devon.



A ride on the tree cart before the tree was loaded


Sloan's is a wonderful place to spend the day, lots of fun things for everyone to do, pony rides, a train ride, small petting zoo, playground equipment, zip lines for big and little, tree maze, hay maze, giant sling shot, horse and wagon rides, then the search for just the right tree. After the work is done, a relaxing time by a ready made fire. Nothing like cooking hotdogs or marshmallows over a fire.
A full fun day for sure.
We finished the day with the Brantford Santa Claus parade.

Centre Island 2011

Macy and I were off to Centre Island this week for a day of fun, sun and friendship. We started with the Ferry ride across to the Island. Wandered a bit, enjoying the day, then on to Centreville and RIDES. Macy loves rides. She went on her first little roller coaster and loved it.

Here she is exiting the roller coaster




She loved everything, the swinging ship, the car she could drive,




the splash pad was a great hit and a great way to cool off a bit.




Then it was on to the water log ride, the train, the carousel, the spinning bears, you get the idea. The only thing Macy did not like was the geese and ducks trying to eat her pizza at lunch.




We ended our day with a wonderful couple of hours relaxing on a blanket on the grass, enjoying supper and a visit with a dear friend of mine who joined us after she finished work.


Life with Macy is a million times better than I could ever have imagined.

Summer Days

Lazy summer days and wonderful summer evenings with my Princess



A snack with friends


A quiet moment by the water with her precious "Dodo"


A fun moment sitting in a helicopter at a Petro Canada Station





This past weekend we had the wonderful opportunity to once again visit with other families with children from Vietnam. My sister Sandy and her husband John once again graciously opened their home and hearts to all of us.
It was an afternoon of sun, swim, fun, food and friendship.

The Big 3




Hard to believe, my little Macy is now 3 years old. Sometimes she acts like she is 30, but for the most part, a normal, happy, healthy 3 year old. I could not be happier.

Playing Dressup

We had a fun time playing dressup.







The Belle Dress from Beauty and the Beast is the favourite, 3 sizes too big does not matter.
