Question of the day...

Paid in full...

Every morning this winter, in 40 below weather, my husband has started my vehicle before heading off to work. So instead of having to scrape five inches of ice from my windshield, and listening to my teeth chatter while driving to work, I get into a warm, ice free car. He even starts my heated seat for me. Even my tushy is warm as I drive to work.

Seriously....how completely wonderful is that?!! But on the other side, it is not unlike my husband to do such wonderful & special things for myself and his girls. It is a normal occurrence!

He is a good man, and he takes VERY good care of us and over the many years we have been together, so seldom does he get (or even expect) the appreciation he deserves. Take vehicles for example...

All our married life we have had two vehicles - a good vehicle and a beater vehicle. The "beater" has always been his vehicle and I always get the good car. He wouldn't have it any other way!

So, after this looooong, cold winter of pampering, I decided it was time he got a little pampering of his own.




I just upgraded my husband's 1992 "beater" for a 2005 GMC Canyon 4x4. Sometimes people DO get what they deserve! *happy sigh*

That's life..

Today...while looking back over the photos we have taken of Taliyah (wearing Grandpa's toque) we saw something we didn't even realize we had captured.

A naughty little puppy helping himself to Talyah's sippy cup.

Tsk tsk..bad doggy!!

New Year Wishes

"May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness.
I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful,
and don't forget to make some art --
write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can.
And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself."

~Neil Gaiman~

Sharing...

Just thought I would share a few more of my creations.....

What do you think?

"Great" they are indeed...

My husbands parents are absolutely wonderful people whom I love dearly. Unfortunately, they live 6000km away, so our time together is quite limited.
So, needless to say, when they flew up to visit us this week we were more than excited to see them.
And......they got to meet their (first and only) great grand daughter for the very first time. What a happy moment for all of us!

I know the next three weeks will fly by.... but for now we intend to enjoy every moment we can with them.

Have a happy Sunday everyone! xx
