Christmas 2005


Christmas Morning - Kids were very surprised Santa found them! (ok Isa just corrected me - She said "ok MOM , can you write "kid" was surprised Santa found her because me and Zig know the truth" - bad kid!!


The quilt Gram made for Ziggy - he designed his room around it

Four Jobs I Have Had:

-hair stylist
-Doula - or as my husband would call it - a Dooba (this is my true love and was the stepping stone to figuring out what I really want to do)
-Mom (which covers everything- but really the best pay is here, those sweet kids smiling makes you know life is the best!)

Four Movies I could watch over and over:

Band of Brothers boxset - (Pop was a paratrooper- one in the elite Commando Unit- gives me a glimpse of that)

525 Basswood Pl , Winnipeg - (this is where the BEST neighbors reside)

Goresky Rd , Stonewall (we didn't have a house number- no need when the road is named after your family!) - this is where I grew up and learned to love a farm.

31 Blight , Miami MB (had a small town year experience and left with lifetime friendships)

Hey 2006 !!! Been busy and getting ALOT of heat for not updating this thing ...I have too many pictures and too much has happened since Nov 18th'05...so I am overwhelmed and procrastinating...all at the same time!!

Right now its crazy windy here - our power has been out....here is the forecast-

It has been raining for the last month...seriously..I know , I know "Welcome to Vancouver" but this has been the worst January on record...time for some sun! I painted Ziggy's room bright orange to try to encourage some sunny , bright moments. He does love it!
