Christmas 2007

Decorating of the tree.


Examaning the ornaments.


My constant shadow ;)


And viola; the tree.

Paige's Christmas Concert

Paige had her Christmas concert this morning and was an absolute star! The gym was packed, and we didn't have the best seats. However, this was the first year that they have used the stage - which was really nice! I tried to take some video of it, but I was holding the baby at the same time and it is a bit shaky and dark. I will post it anyway though. Paige is in the front row second in on the left!

Hot off the press!

After much waiting and anticipation Morgan has FINALLY lost her first tooth. She is the last one in her class to lose a tooth so she is very excited about the whole thing. It just popped out while she was eating her dinner!

Winter Storm

Here is the view from our dining room window on Sunday afternoon after the snow storm. The kids had a great time playing in the snow!

Happy 7th Birthday Darling Morgan :)

The cake that Mummy made, for our party at home. Auntie Catherine decorated it!

M and M, where one is - the other is never far behind!

Morgan also had a party with her school friends and here are Maddison and Paige.

The Birthday girl!!! I can hardly believe that it has already been 7 years! You are growing into such a beautiful young girl - both inside and out, and we love you very much!!!!
xoxoxoxooxxooxxo Mama.

Morgan's Brownie Enrollment

On November 1, 2007 Morgan was enrolled as a Brownie, by Tiny Owl. ;)

Here is the recipe of how to bake a Brownie:











Here is the oven that the girls were baked in:


And out pops a Brownie, specially baked by Maddison.


Here is Morgan saying her promise and law.




Here is the fully enrolled Brownie!

Halloween (better late than never)

Little Miss Ella was a fairy princess, and loved her costume; especially her magic wand!


Paige was Princess Belle!


Morgan the "vampire witch".


Three very happy girls after trick-or-treating.


One shy Halloween dog; she slept in her bed on the porch and helped give out candy.


M and M at their Brownie Halloween party.


The carving of the pumpkins...and yes before you ask - power tools were involved ;)








Paige at school. Every year the kids do a parade of costumes.

Three cuties :)


We took the girls to the pumpkin patch to pick their pumpkins and these were some of the things that we saw and did.

Long overdue update!

I have been away from the blog for quite awhile now. It is however time to get back to keeping everyone up to date.
First of all I would like to introduce everyone to the newest member of our family. Her name is Honey and she is a Standard Poodle. She is about four years old, and before she came to us she was living in an outside kennel on a Dairy farm. She has since adjusted to house life very well and is loved by all, even the cats like her!







Here is Morgan on her first day of school. Morgan started grade two this year and is really enjoying her class and her teacher.



Here is Miss Paige on her first day of Junior Kindergarten. She has the same teacher that Morgan did, and is really adjusting well to school, and having lots of fun!

That's about all for now. I have some pictures to upload from England, but I will do that another day.

Love to all,
xxooxxoo

Charles Abbott Conway Jr. July 9, 1940-August 26, 2007

It is with such a heavy heart that I write this post. In fact I really don't even know where to begin. My father passed away very suddenly in England on Sunday. He was a wonderful father, and a wonderful grandfather! I can safely say that he touched the lives of everyone he met. He was one of the kindest, smartest, caring, non-judgemental people I have ever met in my life. He was always there for me no matter what, and quite literally went to the ends of the earth for me.

I know that you are here with us in spirit; and you will live on in your children, and your grandchildren. I love you more than I can ever say.
xxooxxoo

Bike riding

As promised here is Morgan on her bike without training wheels, although it got cut short because a car was coming. At least this time I hit record!!!!!

Baby's got "crocs"

Little Miss Ella spends most of her time in the house walking around with one of Paige's crocs on. Well in our search for new sandals for her today (a very difficult task in August apparently), we found Ella her very own pair. As soon as we got home and I took them off, she put them right back on again! What a chick!
;)

Do you see what I see????

Paige just did this afternoon, all by herself!!!! Now if you had asked me a couple of weeks ago, I would have told you that I was going to send Mrs. O another child who refused to write her name. She did this on her own too while I was doing the floor! I'm one proud Mama!!!!
