Growing

I often look at the kids and wonder where the time has gone. Last night I lay awake in bed, thinking about how in 9 short months, Michaela would be off to school. I can't imagine my days without her. How will I bear to send her by herself on the school bus? Will she be liked? Will she be happy? Will she behave? Will I have prepared her enough? Will the thought of her being gone all day, day after day ever stop hurting? Sigh.

Wheeeeee!!!!

The kids had a blast using Michaela's new sled. The fun lasted for almost a week before the rain started, and the snow hill melted....so sad.

Finished just in time!

I built this for Michaela, and we gave it to her before we left for Kingston, because it was too big to fit into the car.
One of my biggest worries was whether or not she would appreciate it, but she really loved it!
Right away she got all of her favorite animals and people, and lined them all up in the house. Her auntie Heather helped us out with some great furniture for it as Michaela's Christmas present.
