Introducing Cadbury......January 8th!

We have been after Monty (my hubby) for years to have a dog. The kids still bug him from time to time, but they have pretty much given up. I always thought I would like a small dog. I think it is important that kids have something to love and take care of. We had a guinea pig, and when he died Matt wanted a hamster. Cheddar (the hamster) died in June and he was replaced with a rabbit. I wasn't sure if I would like a rabbit. I liked the idea that he would still be in a cage, but that is a job in itself. You have to be on top of it all the time so that you don't get any smell.

To my surprise, I have totally fallen in love with Cadbury. He is very social, cuddly, and clean. He keeps is cage very organized (only does his business in one area) so it is very easy to keep tidy. I just love him to death. Maybe one day we will get a small puppy, but for now I am quite happy loving our bunn bunn! Isn't he sweet?

Winter Wonderland.....January 7th!

All day yesterday the weatherman was saying we were going to get about 10cm of fresh snow. Well, he was right. We woke this morning to a fluffy white blanket! It is actually very pretty. After the kids left for school, I went out and shoveled the driveway. When I was finished, I looked back and I could have started all over again.

So far, I think we have had a great winter. We have had lost of snow and it hasn't been too cold. I don't mind the snow, but I hate when it gets really cold.





















Here are some shots of my backyard. We spend alot of time here in the summer. For now.....it waits for the spring thaw.

Oh Canada.....January 6th!

They have done it again. Team Canada takes the gold metal for the 5th straight year in the World Junior Championship against Sweden in a 5-1 victory!

Hockey is Canada, hockey is great, hockey is life!

Technology is great.....January 5!

You would think that after a day on the computer I would be sick of it.....but all it takes is for a few of my favourite friends to appear and I get sucked right in.

I spent the evening chatting with Karan and Patti (from Alberta) and before I knew it, it was 11:20pm.

Technology.....it is the best.
