Wow,  time flies, I cannot believe this has been basically a dead blog for so long.  I maintained it diligently for so long until facebook came along and changed our world forever.

Life stories are always changing.  A huge update for 4 years time,

Emily is now 11!  Tony and I will be officially divorced Oct 12th 2012.  A sad time, and possibly a huge reason why I dropped this blog for so long.  You never really see it happening while it's happening, but in hindsight it's crystal clear now.  We began growing apart about the time I stopped blogging.  I got a horse, he got a motorcycle.  Both of us compensating no doubt for things happening between us and neither taking the time to work them out as they were.

The past few years have been harder than I realized, and so now starts a brand new chapter.  Let's see if things begin to change, maybe I'll even start posting on here again!  I'll try and find some new photos and update, or maybe I'll just drop the entire blog, it's a chapter in our life that has ended.  Time will tell I guess.

As visions of sugar plums danced in their heads...

Sleep tight, come soon Santa!

Christmas Cupcakes

Here's a little preview of our great cupcake experience this afternoon, YUM! Enjoy...

Christmas Eve

Emily got to pen up one present this afternoon, it was a cupcake baking set, so her and Daddy went to it right away... Happy Christmas Eve everyone!

Snooooooooooow fun

Here are some shots from today, we have about 10 REAL inches of show today, way cool! This may never happen again where we live! It's rare for sure, usually we just get a light dusting. The city has officially announced that all vehicles on the road are required to have chains on, WOW!

Snow Day!

Time gets away from me these days, I haven't blogged here in forever! We had our first snow of the season today, and weather reports say we are in for a few day so of it. Here's a couple shots taken only minutes ago.

IT's that time again...

Rain, here we go into fall, a wee bit early this year it seems, hopefully things will dry up and give us a long dry fall. I just took this out the back door as Emily played.

Sorry it's been so quiet around here, I have been working my tail off! I will try and post more often as I slow down into winter.

Cheers!

New bike!

Time flies it seems between posts these days. Summer is in full swing, and we have been out having fun so far. The neighbor came out with her old bike in tow the other day and asked Emily if she would like to have it. She is thrilled, she was in much need of something bigger, her knees were touching the handlebars on the old bike. This one fits, and best of all, NO training wheels finally!

Birthday Fun

Well, the big day was here. Emily turned 7 yesterday, YAY! The only thing she has asked for the past year is a Nintendo DS. Caviar taste to say the least :) taking after Mum and Dad there. After we opened prezzies from the family, she had a birthday party at the local roller skating rink, fun for all, Mom even skated! All in all it was a great day. Here are the snaps of her opening her "BIG" gift.






Here's a couple of her thank you to Grammie and Grampie for the gifts they gave her too...

Tony's New Toy

Well, life has been busy around here, my business is going great, we are all working hard, and summer is finally here. It's been a while since my last post. I'm just going to jump in where we are now instead of playing catch up. So here is the latest edition around here.... This is Tony's new toy, brand new, only one to the show room floor.....





So, OK, I admit, I know nothing about motorcycles, but I am told this is a cool one. All you fanatics will know I am sure. What matters is he loves it. A mid life crisis? Well, at least is isn't a 2 seater sports car, right? Stay tuned for more...... Emily thinks her Dad is sure cool now!

Congrats to my Honey!

This morning Tony took his US citizenship test, and passed with flying colors. They did a short ceremony this afternoon. So it's official, I can't call him a South African anymore. Congrats honey! Here's some photos to share...
