February 2010

Well here it is February has come and gone. I have to think long and hard to remember what happened during the month. Work has been extremely stressful and I found myself able to to have a couple of days off. One long weekend I helped move my nephew and niece into their new home and it was awesome to see that they will be settled and awaiting their next baby due early in March. The next long weekend I took a trip to meet my sister in Ponoka (yes Ponoka) I have never been to Ponoka so let me tell you what a pleasant drive that was on a lovely day. I was able to pick up my daughter and granddaughter who has been away for 3 weeks visiting my sister and I have to be honest it nearly broke my heart to see how upset my sister was that I was "taking away her girls". My sister has been an absolute blessing in my life and I will treasure her always. She has the biggest heart for all children and it was an honour to share my girls with her. We got to celebrate my great nieces 1st birthday and again what a treat to see the next generation of my family building memories. I enjoyed celebrating "family day" and the reason I say that in quotes is my youngest son was quite upset when he found out that my daughter, granddaughter and I spent the day downtown at the Legislature grounds and Churchill square that he sent me a text and stated I thought family day was supposed to be more than Amanda, you and baby day...oops my bad. I guess I need to pay closer attention next time. Well that's it for February stay tuned for more "exciting baby news expected in March.

January 2010

So here goes, it's 2010 and I have created a blog. I have wanted to blog for awhile but just wasn't sure on what I really wanted to say. My older sister has been blogging for awhile and always look forward to reading the latest happenings in her life. My reason for blogging is just to share some thoughts, or maybe remember my own thoughts of what is happening in my life throughout the year. I will begin to add favorite photos and collections that I enjoy. If anyone would like to say hi please feel free.

November 2013

I want to be remembered as someone that was there. I mean available. I love to create memories with my grand child. I have read many posts recently about memories of loved ones that have now passed. I struggle with my memories, as I can't recall a lot of childhood memories with my grandparents, or cousins since I didn't spend a lot of time with them growing up. Both my parents relatives lived a distance away. I hear of others recall memories of their childhood and the time they spent with others with gratitude. When I think back on my past I have feelings of sadness and missed opportunities. I look at my grand daughter and hope that she remembers the trips we took, the time we laughed playing silly games, reading stories and knows that it was time well spent and worth remembering. I shed tears for the children that don't have memories of a happy childhood and for parents and grand parents that missed opportunities to laugh, live and be loved by the little people that

I know, I know, I'm posting and haven't posted since July. I don't know why. I do know why....I feeel like my blogs are the same...i have been so preoccupied with other things that I haven't taken the time as I should to dedicate to my blog. I apologize..this was really something that I wanted to keep up with at this stage of my life to keep me on track with the day to day things that were happening. I forget sometimes that life has a way of taking over and one day rolls into one week, one month, and so on. My plate really isn't that full, but my thoughts about other things that aren't important are taking over from what is really important. I'm hoping that 2013 will see me reflecting more on the "what's important to me". So since July let's see if I can't recall what has been happening in my "busy" life. It seems the summer has come and gone with a flash. My dear friend lost her brother to cancer and it was a very hard time
