Picture with Santa

It took some time to convince Jessie to get that close to the big guy, but at least she's not crying. :-)

 

School Pictures

 

Christmas Picture 2008

 

No crying at all this year! Always a bonus. :-) I may be biased, but they sure are a bunch of cuties.

Halloween

Pictures from Halloween... Sarah was a princess, Jessie was a princess, Abby was a spider. :-)

Sarah's first day of Grade 1

Here are some pictures from Sarah's first day of grade 1. It was her first time taking the bus too! She had a great time.

Jessie and markers....

All I can say is - I'm glad Leah threw out all the non-washable markers. Jessie like to ... uh .... use herself as a canvas?

 

 

 

 

Canada's Do-Not-Call registry

Canada's National Do-Not-Call Registry is going online as of today. Looks like their web site is being overwhelmed since I have not been able to register.

Click here to register: CRTC - Do-Not-Call Registry

Or you can call 1-866-580-DNCL (3625). [UPDATE - you must be calling from the number you wish to register]

The National Post has a good article here and there is one from the Montreal Gazette here

So, if you are constantly bombarded by telemarketers, now's your chance to opt out!

Daddy and the Girls

Moodie Cottage

We had a really nice week at the Cottage. Everyone had a great time. The weather wasn't fantastic, but only a bit of rain, and very nice the last 2 days (when we finally braved swimming). A few big "firsts" or events took place:

- Sarah lost her first tooth
- Jessica celebrated her 2nd birthday
- Marsha and David celebrated their 42nd wedding anniversary
- Sarah caught her first fish (with a Barbie fishing rod) :-)
- Abby and Sarah swam in a lake for the first time
- The kids didn't kill Jim during the 8 hour car ride (heeheehee)

Attached a just a few pictures... Please click on the album below to see a lot more pictures (I recommend clicking on "Slideshow").

 

 

 

 

Soccer chicks

Here are this year's soccer portraits. Aren't they sweeter than a Tim Horton's cruller?? :-)

 

 

Jessie in the pool

A few pics of Jessie in our little Turtle Pool. Time to get more serious about swimming lessons, I think! :-) Sarah and Abby just started with swimming lessons again, and are doing really well. My swimming genes are finally surfacing! Yay! Too bad there is no outdoor pool associations, like on the West Island...

 

 

BestKisses.com

I am now a "published" photographer... hahaha. BestKisses.com got in touch with me through Flickr and asked if they could post one of my pictures on their site. Find their post for May 27 and you'll see a pic of Sarah and Abby.

Picture time!

Wow- its been a while. Here are a few cuties... Click on the album below for more!

 

 

 

 

iOptOut.ca

Ok, first, let me apologize for my lack of posts... Its been a pretty crazy couple of months. More posts to come soon, I promise.

For those of you in Canada, you might be interested in iOptOut, the Canadian "do-not-call" list. Not sure how well it works since a lot of organizations are currently exempt, but it might be worth a try if you are getting bombarded by calls during dinner.

More Sisters pictures

 

 

 

 

Sisters

Leah snapped this picture while Abby and Jessie were watching TV and having a snack. Too cute.

 

Tom Brady... HAHAHAHA!

Frozen in Grand Central Station

Imagine hundreds of people, all of a sudden "freezing" at the exact same time in busy Grand Central Station. Must have been pretty freaky to see!



80 people wearing blue polos and khakis shopping at Besy Buy is pretty funny too



Both by Improv Everywhere. Nice job!

Superbowl Ads

First - WOOHOOO!!! GIANTS WIN THE SUPERBOWL!!!

Ok, now that that is over with... :-) Once again, watching the big game in Canada you miss all the great ads. I mean, seriously, how many horrible Rogers commercials do we need to see? Sad, just sad. To catch all the ads we missed, go to http://www.myspace.com/superbowlads.
