We just wrapped up a week of our 20th anniversary, my 39th birthday and today is Jessie's 19th....and Easter.

I'm here by myself at the moment. Kinda feeling abandoned.

Earl and I went to the Viamede for our anniversary, and to the casino nearby to make up for the lost vegas trip...there was very little comparison. Earl did win over $200 on his first ( Read more... )

Last week we said goodbye to 3 people who are part of our lives each in a different aspect.
Then we welcomed in the newest member of our family, a baby girl, 9 1/2 pounds, Brooke Cynthia Cappelina.
My cousins first, and I'm sure not the last. The first week for the baby was rough, but she's home now and her parents are thankful for her very existence ( Read more... )

The sun is going down, it's cold out, and I have my whole family home tonight, what a treat.
Jes with one foot out the door already, he comes and goes at his leisure. Here's a  theory on teenagers....
they start to get independent, challenging their parents at every turn, then they stay over at friends more often, parents getting irritated then they ( Read more... )

It's snowing, just when yesterday gave us a hint of spring with temperatures hitting the high 50's, and today it's all turned around. Jes came bursting in the door after school yesterday saying we should be tapping the trees...I had thought those very thoughts. I'm sure we missed a few trickles out of the trees yesterday. Maple syrup is actually ( Read more... )

I truly believe I do more 'homework' now then when I was a kid. Last night Em needed help going over lines, she is trying out for musical theatre today and they give her her peice the day prior to auditions. So I really think I should be trying out because I have it memorized too! Then she has to pick a song to sing, and she is all stuffed up with ( Read more... )

Is everyone officially snowed in south west Ontario? 
We didn't get as much snow, I was watching the news this morning and schools were all closed and airports, that's a lot of snow all at once..40-50 cm! Em was hoping for a snow day...and was sadly disappointed.
I made a pound cake for dessert tonight, with drizzled raspberry sauce and whip cream.. ( Read more... )

Apparently Oprah is featuring the movie 'The Secret' tomorrow.

So, our nights at the spa were heavenly, we hot tubbed, did infrared treatments, had an ion cleanse, which for reasons unknown, mine was clear...Em's not so much. It's a foot bath, with an ion meter in the water and it works by drawing toxins out of the body through the pores of your ( Read more... )

I have so much to write, I'm not sure where to begin ( Read more... )

Well, Em and I went on our first tobagganing run tonight, we flew straight down our road on crazy carpets....Em beat me!
Really proving the point that the snow plows are non existent around here.

Yesterday was a really tough day, I had to be the guinea pig for a new massage called the fleur de lis or something like that...anyway, I had a two hour ( Read more... )
