"Perfectly ordinary" days!

Sp often I complain of the mononetity of my life from the routine of pack lunches, get dressed, brush teeth, prepare meals, cleanup, dishes, laundry, bathes, bed time routines. So often I find it hard to see the beauty in all this boredom and take for granted the kisses, the snuggles, the love for life my 2 little monkey's have.

Take a minute (or 7) and watch this video.....May I never complain again about tangles in unruly hair, or the Barbies/toys and playdough scattered all over the floors. I hope I can cherish the dirty hand prints on my walls and muddy shoes brought through my house instead of getting angry. More importantly, I hope I can see the beauty and the memories in the "perfectly ordinary" days.

Tis the season...again!

I gotta say I remember when I was younger and I use to use the phrase time flies when your having fun...but truthfully until you have kids, a job, a home ect ect ect...life flies by!

So here we are the Christmas season is in full swing and I am still in shock that once again December is just about to reer it's head!

Life around here is good, Brooklyn is loving school and has become a champ at printing her name and she has learned to sing Oh Canada in both French and English. They are learning there numbers and have been teaching the little ones to do the same!
Brycen is good, we will be working on potty training next week and wish me luck he is a stubborn little fart! He too is advancing thanks to his sister and the other school girls.

Jeff and I are good too we have gotten use to this life with kids stuff and we seem to work well as a team.

Dearest Nonno

Not a day goes by when you don't cross my mind with either a memory or a reminder of all that we have lost. What gets us through is the reminder that you have gone to a better place and your body is no longer suffering. I wish so many times I could see you, hug you, call you just one more time. I hold my memories of you so very close to my heart and I pull them up to the forefront of my mind when I really feel you are far away.
I miss you Nonno!
I miss your laugh, your insights, your presence.....
