« Previous EntriesAn Update on the Girls!
Sunday, February 7th, 2010Dawn and Emily have been busy crafting, colouring, gluing and playing! It’s so nice to see them play together…it makes me glad that I had them close together. With 15 months only between them, they are becoming great playmates to one another!
Emily now knows most of her letters and she’s been starting to work on [...]
A Photo Update…
Sunday, November 15th, 2009We’ve been quite busy over the last couple of weeks with everyday life! Dawn had her birthday party and had a blast! We’ve also been out to park days and just exploring life at all it’s glory.
The Girls are Learning to Read!
Sunday, October 11th, 2009It’s so rewarding to see when all your work (or non-work) pays off. Both Dawn and Emily are finally actively grasping the concept of reading.
The girls were sitting in the bed this morning and I found Dawn spelling out letters of a word (in an opposites board book), then saying the word. Too easy you say? Maybe, [...]
Annual NOT Back to School Picnic
Thursday, September 3rd, 2009Yesterday was HLSA’s annual ‘NOT Back to School Picnic!’ A fun time was had by everyone as families came together to chat about plans for the months ahead and to give their children a chance to play and explore in Edmonton’s River Valley. I have the full intention of signing up for membership with them [...]
Handstands and MoonSand and Cookies! (Oh my!)
Thursday, August 27th, 2009What a day today has been. I feel as though a huge weight has just been lifted off of my shoulders. My new condo is FINALLY unpacked and clean to my liking. It certainly hasn’t been easy and I’m very thankful to those who took the time to give me a hand (especially with the [...]
Back to the Grind
Friday, August 7th, 2009We are finally (sort of) settled in and the girls are really getting impatient about starting up their schooling again. I can’t say that I blame them…it’s been way over 4 months and they seem to love doing traditional bookwork!
I’ve been trying to get out daily or almost daily with the girls to take advantage [...]
Off to the Museum!
Monday, February 2nd, 2009Workers came in to change all our windowson Thursday and it being winter, that translated to our having to leave and find something to do for the day. I decided to take the girls to the Telus World of Science since we hadn’t been in a while and they had a LEGO exhibit that I [...]
My Daughter the Smurf
Wednesday, January 28th, 2009It’s not unusual for me to take a nap during the day. Life with MS seems to make every day quite unique, but one thing that consistent is the incredible fatigue that can overwhelm you.
After a busy day, I found that I I could barely move or keep my eyes open. Hubby was home (day [...]
Running With Scissors
Thursday, January 22nd, 2009“Careful, or you’ll poke your eye out!” How many times have we heard that expression as we’ve grown up? Frankly, I’ve never had any form of injury to my eyes, nor have my children.
People often wonder why I allow my young children to use sharp scissors and knives to work with. I might get a lot [...]
Emily’s Adventures Around the House
Wednesday, January 14th, 2009After spending the day with my dayome infant, an interview with a prospective parent of a child who needs part-time care, and a visit from the dayhome-agency for the first of 3 interviews to become accredited, I was pretty wiped out.
As the house was finally emptied, I took the chance to grab a nap. There [...]
