Its been a while since I did a blog, picture or otherwise....I have had and got over the H1N1 flu...it was a nasty little virus, it was kicking my butt for a while but I turned around and kicked it right back.

We then took a week long trip to Nova Scotia, the weather was very cooperative (except for the day/night we got there, the rain, she poured and poured and oh the lightning was wicked....how many times my husband almost had to pull over because he could hardly see through the rain, the wipers hardly kept up.

So instead of me talking about it I will post some pictures here...

On the ferry from P-A-B, NL to N. Sydney, NS.

   On our way to see the Olympic Torch Relay (Halifax, NS).

Next pictures are from Peggy's Cove, NS...I used to wonder what was so special about this place, its featured in many calendars, vacation brochures and whatnot...I found out what's so special...it is a beautiful place that will feed your soul...

    

                                   

                              

The memorial for the Swiss Air Fight 111 that went down near Peggy's Cove.

Next pictures we are back on 'The Rock'...

 

Yep, it was Miss Arianna's 5th Birthday yesterday...

But she officially postponed the celebration because mommy is sick...(I have the often talked about, debated and dreaded H1N1 virus)!  Arianna wouldn't even consent to a cake, she wants to wait until we can all join in and celebrate together.  So a cupcake with a candle it was...she did get her b-day gifts and got to do some things she had wanted to do, it was with Daddy only though...but hey, as long as she had that special attention and time, that's all that matters.  I really felt badly though...can't help it!  Its a mom thing, Miss A. said so...!  LOL!

 

It was Zombie Day at A's school today so she wanted to be made-up....

Before the make-up 10-29-09

After the make-up, my little Ghoul...MUHAH HAH HAH! 10-29-09

 

Brother and sister...This picture speaks for itself I think!

I haven't felt like blogging for a while and I still don't but I thought I'd share a few recent pictures...

 

I saw all of this today and this evening...I don't have any pictures of The ISS though...which I did...This was an awesome day A. was spellbound by the whales, she was in awe...they were right in front of us literally in our backyard...We could hear them blow when they came up right from our yard...While I was watching the ISS go over I could hear the whales in the backround...WOW!  That's all I can say!  And of course there are pcitures...

 

T.

We went for a hike to this little place called 'Up Bottom'....the hike itself was relatively short and when we get to where we are heading this wonderful secluded reach opens up to us...its right on the Atlantic ocean.  The hike is in a place called Over-Back, its at the back of a little community called Upper Cove (Happy Adventure) and it leads to this beautiful place Up-Bottom! 

I don't have any pictures of the hike but the destination I sure do!...I hope the pictures speak for themselves...

My little man is rolling over, he loves it and we love watching him do it.  He also has two teeth coming through on the bottom, he is not being fussy at all with his teeth, just like his big sister was.

He loves to smile and laugh, what a breath of fresh air he is...and I love watching the interaction between him and his sister.  She is so good with him, she likes to help with him whatever it is, it doesn't matter...even a poopie diaper doesn't phase her...lol!

No matter what else is going on in our lives I all I have to do is hug my kids and I always feel better. 

My daughter can always make me feel better, she never fails to bring a smile to my face...every day she says something (without intention) that makes us laugh...

I am so proud of my children...and feel so blessed to have them!  Its a privelge to be their mom, something I will never take for granted.
