happy anniversary baby....

Happy Anniversary Dave.  I love you. xx

sweet stanley

Stanley is my sweet Airedale Terrier.  I love him, so much.  He will be six years old in May, I remember the day we got him,  my new best friend. Dave drove home from Chilliwack while Stanley and I snuggled for the 3 hour drive.

Stanley is my dream dog, he's the dog I always wanted and he's perfect.  Stanley has always been "number 1" but his life took a dramatic turn with the arrival of Beckett, a year later Zoë was born and Stanley was not impressed.  Number 1 moved to number 3.  I feel terrible, I promised myself that I wouldn't be one of those Mother's that ignored her dog.  I can't help it. I'm busy.  I'm tired. It just happened.

Beckett, Zoë and Stanley all love each other - Stan is incredibly patient and loving to the babes.  I watch Zoë climb all over him while he's trying to sleep, Beckett loves Stanley's wagging tail and I can't tell you how many times his ears get tugged!  While all this is happening Stanley happily takes it, gives a kiss and moves on.  Love him.

How about you?  How do you balance you best furry pal and your busy life?

back to work

I go back to work tomorrow morning after 16 days off.  It's been great, the babes and I have formed some bad habits, we watch Sesame Street while eating breakfast, we have been sleeping in until 8:30am and Miss Z prefers to be in my arms at all times.  Reality sets in tomorrow for me and the small ones.

a great holiday

I have been off work for 13 days now...it's been great to just hang out with my family.  I have spent every second with my two kids, what fun we have had. Christmas was amazing, although Gramma went a bit crazy with the gifts this year!  I made my best turkey yet...so delicious!  My brother stayed with us for 2 weeks, always great to reconnect with him.


I'm back to work in 3 days.  It's a new year, a fresh start - I love January.  The first two months of 2010 will be my busiest yet, I'm excited and nervous.  I'm moving into a hotel downtown for a month for the Olympics!  How I will get to spend time with my family is yet to be determined, I have no idea what kind of chaos the Olympics will bring.  This is why I'm so grateful for the past 13 days, pure peaceful bliss with my husband, son and daughter.


Here's to a happy, healthy 2010.  xx
