…to my cute hubby! 7 years ago we had the best wedding on the beach surrounded by all our family and friends. Today, he is asleep in bed with G while M and I hang out at the airport waiting to go visit friends in NB.
It’s been a good run, D, ups and downs, good times and bad, but without you there wouldn’t be our babies, and without you there wouldn’t be us. Love you always.

I’ve been meaning to post these pics for while. Well, since Canada Day!
We spent the weekend in Central NL at my in-laws cabin and spent most of Canada Day itself at Terra Nova National Park. The kids had a blast and the weather, unlike most other Canada Days, was hot and sunny!
Here was our weekend in pictures:
Sorry for the lack of pics of M, she is not the picture poser like her brother is!

This past weekend was a long one – the first of the summer and for once, it didn’t snow! And the weather was actually warm! Two big shocks right there! 🙂
On a side note, I love long weekends – three days instead of 2 and then, to follow it up, a short work week; it’s like two holidays in one!
We spent the weekend at my in-law’s cabin with friends of ours who have two kiddies, one of whom is M’s bestie though she’s G’s age. We figure C’s in for a shock come kindergarten when she realizes M has left her behind with G!
Anyway, here’s our weekend in pictures!
Stripey Jammies
Playing Strawberry Shortcake on the top bunk!
D. says Vienna Sausages are a May 2-4 staple… I disagree.
However, roasting marshmallows is definitely a staple!
Funny face at the fire
G & C having a lakeside walkabout
This is my grandfather Case’s face – let’s see if the rest of the family agrees with me!
ummmmm, I really have no idea…
Family walk
The kiddies – M, C, L, & G
A favourite cabin game – kick Daddy
Reading and playing Curious George
Watching movies as we pack to go home
And that’s our weekends in a nutshell – lots of outdoors, swings, and marshmallows; we can’t wait to go again!

G (while eating ice cream from Bergs): Ummmmm, deee-licious!
(on a side note, we started toilet training today – so far, not as horrific as I was expecting, only one major cleanup! Fingers crossed for tomorrow…)

he…
… just turned 3. How in the world did that happen?
… loves his trucks. He got remote cars from P & C for his birthday and they’re a huge hit!
… will not have anything to do with toilet training. Not a thing. Suggestions would be appreciated! 🙂
she…
… is in her room having a melt down. You’d think she’d have learned by now – stubborn is not even the word.
… had a great eye check up last week and improved one full line of vision in each eye! Crossing our fingers that the patching will be on the shorter end of the time frame.
… loves the self timer on the camera and is constantly asking me to let the camera take her picture. Not me, just the camera!
he…
… is building the fence that divides us from our attached neighbour. Technically, it’s her fence but we share it so he’s building and she’s doing most of the buying.
… is not taking many pictures these days. Which means I’m using all my own shots – and they’re just not as good, trust me!
… is going to bed early these days and then complaining when my cold feet hit him and wake him up! 🙂
she…
… cannot wait for the Paperie Retreat this weekend. Fun, laughter, drinks, and some scrapping – fun times!
… is loving the selfies. I hate getting my picture taken so this is a quick and easy way around it!
… is liking her hair curly / is too lazy to straighten it each morning! Either way, I’m embracing the craziness of it!
Sorry about the lack of crafty eye candy lately. I’ll have some crafty links tomorrow and have a post ready to go Friday while I’m gone that will be crafty goodness too!

Posted in Classes, Family, Week in the Life 2012
This is it. The last day for my Week in the Life 2012 project. Overall it’s been a great one to do and I’m glad I stuck with it for the full seven days.
I have to admit, I’m glad it’s over but I’m really glad I did it! It was a lot of work and time and there’s a lot more work and time left to put into it in the form of photo editing, printing, and album assembling. But I know I’ll love it once it’s done.
Although this has been far from a normal week around here, it’s been fun to document how crazy life can be just in the normal day-to-day living.
Here are some snaps from yesterday:
And that’s it. A full week done and documented – now to get it all in an album!

More than halfway through the week and it’s still going well, though I may be driving people crazy with all the photo taking! It was G’s birthday yesterday so super busy with lots going on. Lots of pics too, here are a few that cover our day:

So yesterday was crazy and I’m only now getting to post Wednesday’s Week in the Life pics – enjoy!
Still loving the process, though it is getting harder to motivate myself to write everything down! I know it will be worth it when the album is all put together.

1. 3 years ago today, I was in a hospital bed watching this tiny boy sleeping and making little moaning sounds. He was definitely the cutest boy ever born (this is true, I am not biased, ask anyone!)
2. 3 years ago today, M was meeting “her baby” for the first time and pointing out all his body parts – she was very into that at age 20 months!
3. 3 years ago today, D and I were arguing over names – he was adamant about Gabriel, I didn’t like it. He won, obviously. I regret to this day I didn’t put Gabe on the birth certificate. He just isn’t a Gabriel….
4. 3 years ago today I was still in shock there was a baby boy – I was convinced I was having another girl. As a matter of fact, when the nurse said, “It’s a boy!” my response was, “Are you sure?” Ha!
5. 3 years ago today I already couldn’t imagine our lives without this blond haired, blue-eyed boy in it. He was, and still is, perfect. Though he does have an evil streak a mile wide!
HAPPY 3rd BIRTHDAY, baby boy!!
Happy Birthday, sweet boy, we love you more than you’ll ever know!
Mama
