Her yearly mysteries have taught me many techniques and her <a href="https://quiltville.blogspot.com/p/live-quiltcam.html" target="_blank">Quiltcam</a>, is perfect to have on while sewing or cleaning. She invites you into her home, her quilt studio while she sews. She will answer questions and show off pictures what other quilters send her through email while she is live. This isn't a class but she is always giving little hints that help. She unfortunately can not do the quilt cams on a regular basis any longer. Her move to the mountains took her away from good internet service and the connection just isn't string enough anymore. This doesn't stop me from going back and watching the MANY episodes that she has on her YouTube channel and blog though. She is funny and caring and SO very encouraging.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">On top of these fun exciting projects, on the cold nights I have been binding.

I am going to try and do both, at lease of some of the blocks. I will see what my time allows and just how tiny the pieces are. </p><p>The first block is put out by Lynne Hegmeier of <a href="http://kansastroublesquilters-lynne.blogspot.com/2022/03/moda-block-heads-4.html" target="_blank">Kansas Troubles Quilters</a>.

Thank you Lynn.</div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht8wn6YuKVzzBmg2NxYtqt6jL3ERt7KzMZko2r8Eaiff1YlcFnCF8uxZCOgSFHllAiWfTA4ThldcYjb7Wyx-ZoOwSE5T6VWbtqwW32I3_iO06CdW-EAl1OxAkpyDiv0n_l3oaOLBzqwuKO2GumO_2BNuw7b7UB4C_fttDhABJqIE5qoylQANRu2UlXHg/s3024/AB965E09-E135-4354-9091-6C32E8B60557.heic" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><br /></a></div></div>tyme2bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05554531413369496218noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3594089852252886533.post-51250041034896887252022-03-27T12:53:00.003-04:002022-04-05T20:10:35.919-04:00<p> Now that I have found my Blog again, I had better start updating it. </p><p>This morning I went through some links, deleted the ones that were no longer relevant and added in my Quilting interests. I added a couple blogs and I will add more as time goes on.</p><p> I added some amazing CANADIAN online quilt/fabric stores. There are some wonderful online stores in the U.S. but the shipping to Canada is completely outrageous! So, just incase anyone ever reads my blog and is looking to support Canadian, I hope these links lead you to some fun shopping.</p><p>I still do my best to support my favourite pattern designers from around the world by going to their stores and purchasing their digital downloadable patterns. I think this is important as they have put the work into designing the pattern, creating a finished product to test their idea, and they spend hours writing the pattern in a way that is easy for us to follow. Some designers even provide multiple methods to achieve a certain block unit. By purchasing directly from them, they get more of the proceeds from that purchase.</p><p>Now, to add some visual interest to this update blog post, I will add one of the quilts I finished before Christmas. This one was for me and I used the <a href="https://www.tulapink.com" target="_blank">Tula Pink</a> flannel collection called <a href="https://www.tulapink.com/holiday-homies" target="_blank">Holiday Homies</a> with a few added pieces to get the quantity of fat quarters needed. This is a <a href="https://gequiltdesigns.com" target="_blank">Gudrun Elra</a> pattern called <a href="https://gequiltdesigns.com/products/teen-spirit-pattern-pdf?_pos=2&_sid=b2735ca25&_ss=r" target="_blank">Teen Spirit</a>. This was fun and easy to put together. and with Flannel backing, it is SO warm on our cold winter Canadian Winter days.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAy5zwcoQXdYKgBq_Fc5KXv5JQ6rwyejyQMwYDPCY3o44yPN_vo4aBctctF88nS14EDSCm8DPpa8LRT9Tf0-AR9VCORIi2XlfT-g2yn3V-8o9qpsPwaIX3M7gtoaVQ7pAWqH3vSRxQCVJqKQsOjCtRUMbXKlNe_PCYXri6HCwzOHpPscMIGWxaEP-oxA/s4032/44FBBE03-4F4A-4E4F-8844-684591E50082.heic" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="331" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAy5zwcoQXdYKgBq_Fc5KXv5JQ6rwyejyQMwYDPCY3o44yPN_vo4aBctctF88nS14EDSCm8DPpa8LRT9Tf0-AR9VCORIi2XlfT-g2yn3V-8o9qpsPwaIX3M7gtoaVQ7pAWqH3vSRxQCVJqKQsOjCtRUMbXKlNe_PCYXri6HCwzOHpPscMIGWxaEP-oxA/w441-h331/44FBBE03-4F4A-4E4F-8844-684591E50082.heic" width="441" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd8XKIAKI7GDFFHzYXCKH4UJyGw8niWpOwHac_ZjqHnGaa0Eh0WJGMayuIe3By16WTnJggQ5p_anZHJIYkh3sKXgPPT3PbqOW2RLAFyJAC8hur5aeR22RQQCctYU9pGo1US7O4Noz0iyGkfKjwwltMvSaJiQji9cEGJV9D42idBzZAyRi4DsYPZ-gmfw/s981/F176B6AB-66D1-4981-B24B-757F383A2D44_1_201_a.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="981" height="287" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd8XKIAKI7GDFFHzYXCKH4UJyGw8niWpOwHac_ZjqHnGaa0Eh0WJGMayuIe3By16WTnJggQ5p_anZHJIYkh3sKXgPPT3PbqOW2RLAFyJAC8hur5aeR22RQQCctYU9pGo1US7O4Noz0iyGkfKjwwltMvSaJiQji9cEGJV9D42idBzZAyRi4DsYPZ-gmfw/w440-h287/F176B6AB-66D1-4981-B24B-757F383A2D44_1_201_a.jpeg" width="440" /></a></div></div><br /><p></p>tyme2bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05554531413369496218noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3594089852252886533.post-46747533324865168542022-03-25T16:50:00.000-04:002022-03-25T16:50:03.747-04:00Finally found my blog again!!<p> </p><p>Wow, 2014 was the last time I posted!

So much has changed since then. My oldest son is now taller than I. I have not scrapbooked in a couple years, I think due to moving and the new house being so Dark inside. I started learning to quilt last January and have really enjoyed sitting in front of my sewing machine again. I went from 1 sewing machine to 7 in a matter of a few months. I now have a treadle machine that I just have to figure out the timing on.<br />
<br />
We are trying to find a house to buy close to where we are living now. I am sick of paying someone ELSES mortgage, I want to be investing in our own future. Though finding a house is proving to be very difficult in our price range. We have put offers in on 3. Two we lost to other offers and one was not willing to budge on their price so we walked away.<br />
<br />
I am going to try and record my progress in quilting here. I have pictures to post but need to get them onto my new computer before I can upload them.<br />
<br />
I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah or Happy Holiday if you do not celebrate one those. I also wish for everyone to have a wonderful New Year full of fun and exciting adventures with those the love.tyme2bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05554531413369496218noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3594089852252886533.post-82382145063108088432012-04-25T18:38:00.000-04:002012-04-25T18:38:03.963-04:00 Wow, I can't believe it has been over a year since I last posted on my blog. I do believe it is time that I catch up and document the past year. SO much has happened and there are pictures to go along with most, of course, lol.<br />
<br />
Some of the most recent events are, we have started Geo caching again. I didn't realize just how much I had enjoyed it and missed it. The boys have been taking a "Steve Nash basket ball" course. Owen has thrived and really caught on to a lot of the skills he has been taught. Gavin has just been playing to have fun. Both boys are in a mountain biking course on Sundays as well. Gavin now wants his next bike to be a mountain bike but Owen is still thinking BMX is his way to go, lol.<br />
<br />
One of the more important accomplishments this past year was Owen reaching his goal. A goal that has made both Kevin and I extremely proud. Not only because it had been 2-2 1/2 years in progress, but because it was such a selfless thing for him to do. He cut his hair for Cancer. Even with years of growing it and, near the end, getting ridiculed for his long hair he NEVER waivered in his decission. there are pictures and much more to this story to come soon.<br />
<br />
This is a little teaser of what it to come.tyme2bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05554531413369496218noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3594089852252886533.post-208148428061694572010-03-31T09:20:00.003-04:002010-03-31T18:00:54.118-04:00Bad Bad MommyOk, so here it is,<br />I am a bad Mommy.<br /><br />It is now the 31st of March and the only pictures I have taken ALL month are the ones I took of the purse I made to post here.<br /><br />I know, you are all shaking your heads. I am too.<br /><br />I had better pull up these big girl pants and do much better in April!! At least the weather will be nicer and the trees should start getting some green buds, if not whole leaves.<br /><br />I think March is just so dreary and grey that I have no gumption to take pictures. I just want to crawl into bed and read all day long.<br /><br />One thing that has me VERY happy though is the weekend forcast. By Saturday we are supposed to be up to 22 C with only cloudy periods. AND we just might get out first outdoor egg hunt this year. Sunday is a little cooler at 14 C but it is still calling for SUN with cloudy periods.<br />I just hope that bunny remembers to put the chocolate INSIDE or the critters are going be running sround on sugar highs. I picture the squirrel from Over the hedge after having caffine,<br />lol.<br /><br />Kevin and I are hoping to take the boys to see <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0892769/">How to train your Dragon</a> over the Easter weekend. We have been waiting for this one for quite a while. The first time the boys saw the trailer was when we took them to see <a href="http://www.jimcarreyonline.com/movies/christmascarol.html">A Christmas Carol</a>. They are excited to see it but wewill leave it as a surpise!tyme2bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05554531413369496218noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3594089852252886533.post-74001820507116050322010-03-11T14:27:00.002-05:002010-03-11T15:45:51.948-05:00Sewing again!With all the hard work my sewing Machine did before Christmas, it decided to go on strike. I guess 12 pairs of flannel PJ's in a month was just too tiring. After a couple weeks away at <em>Gertie's Sewing Machine Repair Service</em> getting oiled and pampered was all it needed. I now have it back we are hanging out at the dining room table together,lol.<br />I just finished making my own purse. Thisis the firt timeI have attempted anythinglike this and I am happy with how it turned out. I used <a href="http://makeitandloveit.blogspot.com/2009/12/portable-dvd-player-tote.html">Ashley's instuctions for her Portable DVD player tote at Make it and Love</a> I just made it a litte larger to suit my needs.<br /><br />One of the reasonsI liked this tote was the sections inside.I have been reading alot, and I mean a LOT lately and my book goes everywhere wtih me. Having the divider inside is perfect because I have one side for my book(keeps it from getting marked or bent) and the other side for everything else.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1sify5E_wAPnHSGBTr43tiVRU_poNkHGupe7Qior_5XlN6rVWLst__rzraIjvBs-xpdbdwCfZn-znmUi-CRXr8WDgqsC2zip5AxCbgKYRHgNr1nata1g1lwLmF0dplreOFiw89Fw7eLkF/s1600-h/IMG_0997rs.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447460991719836146" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1sify5E_wAPnHSGBTr43tiVRU_poNkHGupe7Qior_5XlN6rVWLst__rzraIjvBs-xpdbdwCfZn-znmUi-CRXr8WDgqsC2zip5AxCbgKYRHgNr1nata1g1lwLmF0dplreOFiw89Fw7eLkF/s400/IMG_0997rs.JPG" /></a> I added a little loop inside with a small hiking clip to attach my key to.

Both did well, no worries.<br /><span style="color:#33ff33;">Tuesday</span> I had a family lunch with my Mom,My Aunts and another cousin. Very fun, and lunch was delicious. After lunch Mom and I took my Aunt Nellie to Fabricland so she could checkout the closing sales. I came home with some fabric to make myself a new bag/purse.<br /><span style="color:#cc33cc;">Wednesday</span> I finally had a chance to clean up a bit and Owen had tutoring after school.<br /><span style="color:#ff6600;">Thursday</span> Kevin and I went into town while the boys were in school to do groceries. He also got his hair cut and I got some fabric. then home to get the boys because had dentist appointments. Gavin did great, no cavities. Owen on the other hand....<br /><span style="color:#3333ff;">Friday</span>, Owen BACK to the dentist to get 3 cavities filled. All were apparently very small, one in a molar that is take FOREVER to pop up. Dr Sun said that wasn't completely Owen's fault. the food was getting trapped under his gums which is what caused that cavity. While fixing that tooth he cut Owen's Gums so that his tooth can come up a little easier and stop the problem with food getting trapped. The other 2 cavities are in baby teeth but we took care of them anyways. I think they were getting sick of seeing us because Kevin had been in there inthe morning to get his root cannel finishsed off.<br /><br />Which brings us to today Saturday, a day of relaxing and doing whatever comes along that sounds good. Started of reading in bed. I then finished off some sewing I was doing for a friend. And now I am sitting drinking my nice warm tea and catching up here. At some point we will be heading over to my parents for a visit. The boys are going to read to Gammie and Kevin is going to have a game of Wii golf with Dad. Just winging today.<br /><br />I am hoping to start a new sewing project and possibly finish off my latest book, <a href="http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/books/Van-Alen-Legacy-Blue-Bloods-Melissa-De-La-Cruz/9781423102267-item.html?ref=Search+Books%3a+%2527blue+bloods+melissa+de+la+cruz%2527">The Blue Bloods</a> by Melissa De La Cruz.

In the past month he has gone from a level 4 or 5 to a level 12!! He has been working so hard with Mrs C. I can't thank her enough. Both the boys just adore her.<br /><br /><br />Then while at tutoring today, Mrs C and I took turns reading with both boys. We do this once in a while so I can see what she is doing and so that Owen will read to me. He won't at home. Gavin is about a level 11 which is where he is supposed to be, so we are not worried about him being behind like Owen, though Owen won't be behind much longer if he keeps working THIS hard.<br /><br />So as you can see I have many reasons to be a Proud Momma today.tyme2bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05554531413369496218noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3594089852252886533.post-79655295420106549872010-02-20T20:27:00.005-05:002010-02-20T20:50:26.475-05:00Olympic Pride<div align="justify">Well, it has now been a whole week since we watched the opening performance of the Olympic Games. The only time our TV has not been been on the CTV <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Olympic</span> watch is when there was <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">no one</span> home. Even the boys have been watching it, though sometimes not of their choice. They have shown a great amount of pride in our wonderful country and out amazing Canadian athletes. Cheering and yelling at the TV to encourage our athletes as been done more then a few times,<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">lol</span>. It is a good thing we live in the country and not in an apartment in town.<br />One of the of the events we have watched regularly over the past few days is the speed skating. The boys are just amazed with this sport. This is what I saw this afternoon in my dining room. I took Gavin outside to get a couple pictures while we still had some sunshine.</div><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440506113295273698" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghK2aWWg4a1iJHvfehr7b6F4BjbcwxbMfbXW5nqrjfWyYuyD8Clqbunfyhm5f85s_l4gzam5sGc0qWOzgXzsE1j5hvOcDbKpLS3LD_7Z9fbYs8tJUhCDg7z7xF1RDY5EkTjagbx_BKqy0r/s400/speed-sk8-web.jpg" /><br /><div align="center">Needed so ice to take the top picture but it was getting to late, maybe tomorrow.</div><div align="center">If there is one thing I have noticed in these pictures, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">it's</span> that Gavin is no longer my baby boy.</div><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440506110228378978" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjj-ANlTFFWOwKrmkObkkvEDxx7nsVM2sUAISitlABUYEUEjs5Fo50uJpSR-zXS_s5LMw0_PhY4a0C1exAX369UYYA7gc4waIL244I3P3IJEX7ZP6MG6e5nB5_-xhr8h-hIdfES-7SwnClK/s400/Gavin-Canada-port-web.jpg" />tyme2bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05554531413369496218noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3594089852252886533.post-3021278289508454862010-02-16T21:56:00.007-05:002010-02-17T09:09:26.508-05:00Day On The Road<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRXYx67-vQYu9_8VkjXTVPkJGkoWIHeOSN3sg3Xww7YpmqZ0XcG0iDXzZ6lXcSUjwYGsB7Ydyk8lVhwMoZALzKEUtJPAGEGIh_i1EjDzmbH7Mcc9DvSnN9v9tc2nTZhFtoRrNnRvy3c5d7/s1600-h/IMG_0820ed.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439045738006847554" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRXYx67-vQYu9_8VkjXTVPkJGkoWIHeOSN3sg3Xww7YpmqZ0XcG0iDXzZ6lXcSUjwYGsB7Ydyk8lVhwMoZALzKEUtJPAGEGIh_i1EjDzmbH7Mcc9DvSnN9v9tc2nTZhFtoRrNnRvy3c5d7/s400/IMG_0820ed.JPG" /></a><br /><div>I was out on tour today with my friend Tamara. We took a drive up to Minden and around to Peterborugh then home in time to pick the boys up at the bus stop. We take these trips every once in a while with the intention of taking pictures. The first time we had a photo tour we took many many pictures. Ever since then we get talking and don't remember to watch for photo ops. today wasn't much different. However, we did stop at a Cemetery that had a lot of beauty to it. this is my favorite picture from today. We plan on going back in the spring to take some more photos when the ground isn't covered in snow and ice.</div>tyme2bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05554531413369496218noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3594089852252886533.post-75163040645204436902010-02-09T08:18:00.003-05:002010-02-09T08:51:16.405-05:00<div align="justify">Here is a LO I finished yesterday for a challenge that I posted on Scrap central. The february theme is to use up your stash (to make room for all the fun CHA stuff that is about to ne released) My challenge is to use Paint, buttons and ribbon.

Our school went to support one of the torch carriers, Jack Prinns (not in this picture).Jack has huge ties to our school,not only did he attend the school, but BOTH his parents are teacher there. I think I am safe in saying that we all felt our heart swell with pride to watch him carry the torch up onto the stage and light the caldron. </p><p> After the ceremonies on stage took place the relay runners were walking around getting pictures taken with fans. This is us, (unfortunately I do not know this wonderful mans namebut I am trying to find it) of course Gavin being his shy self wouldn't look at the camera for the picture. Thank you Heide for taking it. </p><p>It is now a couple months later and the boys are still talking about this day. Hopefully if we keep them talking, they will remember this feeling for the rest of thier lives. This wonderful, over powering, all incompassing feeling of PRIDE.

I was going to take a picture of them all together onced finished but that didn't happen. Kevin had wrapped about 75% of the gifts. We only have a few items left to buy then we are finished our shopping. I have almost completed the advent Calendar, I just have to paint and attatch the numbers to the drawers then I can take a picture or two to share here. I got all 24 books wrapped and ready to start reading on Dec 1st. We even started reading <a href="http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/books/When-Santa-Fell-to-Earth-Cornelia-Funke/9780545094436-item.html?ref=Search+Books%3a+%2527when+Santa+Fell+to+Earth%2527">When Santa fell to Earth by Cornelia Funke</a>. It is a chapter book so obviously NOT wrapped to read in one night,lol<br /><br /><br />Some of these are on my TO DO-TO MAKE lists so that has releived a bit of the stress.<br /><br />Yesterday we went to the movies and watched <a href="http://video.google.ca/videosearch?hl=en&source=hp&q=a+christmas+carol+movie&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=6EcRS9iILsW5lAe2l_yaBA&sa=X&oi=video_result_group&ct=title&resnum=11&ved=0CDUQqwQwCg#hl=en&source=hp&q=a+christmas+carol+movie&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=6EcRS9iILsW5lAe2l_yaBA&sa=X&oi=video_result_group&ct=title&resnum=11&ved=0CDUQqwQwCg&view=2&qvid=a+christmas+carol+movie&vid=4970622822589484788">A Christmas Carol in 3D</a>. It was the boys first 3D movie and they were so cute. Owen wasn't sure what to think at first, I was a little scared it was going to make him sick but once he got used to it he was fine and enjoyed thte movie. Gavin was was cute because he was trying to catch the snowflakes, lol. I will definately be buying this movie when it comes out on DVD.<br /><br />This morning we are playing it low key, Kevin worked the night shift last night, but this afternoon we are heading out for the Santa Clause Parade in a near by town. It will be our first night parade and we are all looking forward to it. It is a whoe day of fun with face painting, dog cart and pony rides, gingerbread decorating, free photos, a petting zoo, free hot chocolate and movies at the highschool. I think it should be a great day. It is cool out but not cold. we still have not had snow. I am not complaining, but I know once it does give us our nice white covered ground the whole Christmas Spirit will grow.<br /><br />Now, I am off to see if I can trim a few evergreens to make a decoration for the driveway pillers and get the garland up on the lamp post.<br /><br />To all my American friends, I hoe you have a fantastic Thanksgiving and maybe found a few good deals on your Black Friday shopping sprees.tyme2bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05554531413369496218noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3594089852252886533.post-83560609550937360072009-11-22T23:16:00.002-05:002009-11-22T23:30:50.126-05:00Holidays In Hand Prompts Display<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFHviqXmOu7-hrhtU-_YLdwsU79j3KV_72yTUVFj4MryvOUsDU58OoFuHGVARxo2f55aU75kmLiTtwzkTO3qnTLAX-O6y5F07l5PrgXIHt0nuT7gGR3BoS3-y-sK1t_4COMFtAV0t5P-a7/s1600/IMG_0220.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407149488300614658" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFHviqXmOu7-hrhtU-_YLdwsU79j3KV_72yTUVFj4MryvOUsDU58OoFuHGVARxo2f55aU75kmLiTtwzkTO3qnTLAX-O6y5F07l5PrgXIHt0nuT7gGR3BoS3-y-sK1t_4COMFtAV0t5P-a7/s400/IMG_0220.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg46NoVgw6UoCSmm5RMaGxfyv2BftqUcxVGiXRzRk_Q9gjohvddyWzr_0rvqXqA549ntnCbEzy5ni1EhH6we1O-m1EBz-Um0xvXu4sC8mV26RJPJhmxupec0ndkKiAO_bQvlkcIbGsw9Ceu/s1600/IMG_0208.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 384px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407149485175995922" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg46NoVgw6UoCSmm5RMaGxfyv2BftqUcxVGiXRzRk_Q9gjohvddyWzr_0rvqXqA549ntnCbEzy5ni1EhH6we1O-m1EBz-Um0xvXu4sC8mV26RJPJhmxupec0ndkKiAO_bQvlkcIbGsw9Ceu/s400/IMG_0208.JPG" /></a> Well, I did it.

I don't like going there but wasn't sure we would be able to get into the Drs office tomorrow and I really didn't want the boys missing more school if they didn't have too. After a look in their throats and ears, their temperatures being taken the results are.........just a cold. Well, Owen has an ear infection too but it is NOT H1N1!!<br />So tomorrow they are heading back to school with notes repeating what t he Dr has said and hopefully they will be able to stay.

Each class <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">sponsors</span> 1 or 2 family from within the community that are struggling. I think this year there will be a few more families then in the past that could use some help. We donate toys, personal and food items.<br />We also give each of the boys money to buy a new toy to add to the town toy drive. I feel it is very <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">important</span> to teach my boys that we are very lucky to have what we do and that there are families out there who are struggling to make ends meet and that we can help <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">anonymously</span> so that the parents can <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">focus</span> on food and the health of their families and get a little help with the material things.<br /><br /><strong><em>Family:</em></strong> Getting together with family is always important but Christmas is usually the only time that we can get the whole family together in one place. I must say that I am VERY proud of Kevin's parents. They <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">separated</span> a few years ago but have <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">maintained</span> a <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">friendship</span>. And every year we still ALL get together to celebrate Christmas as a family. We are also lucky because we celebrate with Kevin's family early. they understand there their children are grown with families of their own and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_11" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">in laws</span> to celebrate with too.<br />Me being an only child and only living a 5 minute walk from my parents, am very lucky and get to spend a lot of time with them. We get to spend Christmas day with my <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_12" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">family</span>. In the morning they come and watch the boys open <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_13" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">their</span> gifts then we go to their place for dinner.<br /><br /><strong><em>Tradition:</em></strong> I feel it is important to keep the traditions we have set and to add another one or two to the mix. I will have a seperate post about our traditions soon.<br /><br /><strong><em>Wonder:</em></strong> I want to keep the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_14" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">curiosity</span> and wonder going for as long as I can for the boys. SO this will mean a trip to see Santa and many stories being read.tyme2bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05554531413369496218noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3594089852252886533.post-58081666137228030532009-11-19T11:15:00.004-05:002009-11-19T11:27:33.823-05:00Getting Back On Track<div align="justify"> Boy, I have been neglecting my blog the past few months.
