Hello,

I haven't written for a while because I was sick for a week and now Mommy is sick too. Today was my first day back to school and Mommy say she'll be fine in a day or two.

Here's a picture of me in my school uniform, and another picture of me at Halloweeen. I was Bat Girl this year.

Today I had a dentist appointment with Dr. Vito. I don't really like going to the Dentist but Mommy says that I have to so my teeth can be nice and healthy. So I got to sleep in and only went to school this afternoon after the visit.
Tonight Daddy is home from Ottawa so I'll be very happy to see him.

Hello Everyone,

Mommy and I have been really busy with my great Aunt's visit so we haven't written for a while. We had such a wonderful time with her, I really liked her. She was very nice, she baked cakes and yummy dinners too. Then we had my cousin Andrea's baptism and everyone here for Thanksgiving, 26 people.
It's been a great month.

Hello,

I went on a school trip today to the Tim Horton Foundation's Onondaga Farms. It was a nice day, we had a good time.

Poor Mommy is getting pretty excited, and nervous. Her Auntie will be arriving tonight in Toronto and she's picking her up. The house is spotless and everything looks perfect, Mommy can't wait to see her. I'm going to be in bed by the time they get home so I'll meet her tomorrow.

Yesterday was our last time in the pool for this year. It was a nice warm day, Mommy and I went in but Daddy said it was too cold. Even Uncle Boo jumped in...and out.

Well not much to write about. Been back to school for two weeks now, it's all going well. We are anxiously awaiting my great auntie's arrival. Mommy has been in a cleaning frenzy and Daddy has been fixing all of the little things that have been sitting on his "Honey Do" list. Now Mommy is making him do them all. I have to keep my room tidy and Molly is going to the groomers.

Otherwise, it's been raining all week and we haven't been in the pool for two weeks now. I hope it gets a little warmer and we can still swim a little this year before the pool gets closed next weekend.

How cool !!! I just noticed that Mommy's cousin in Hungary left me a message on here. Her name is Erika and she has a little baby girl named Sara. Mommy and I always check Erika's blog and enjoy seeing Sara's baby pictures. She's very cute.

Well my summer vacation ended with Uncle Boo taking Mommy and me out to lunch on Friday, then we all got to spend the whole weekend together. Daddy was off on Monday because of Labour Day.

Today was my first day back to school. I have Mrs. Ackles with me again, Mommy wouldn't let anyone take her away anyway, and Mr. Agro is my teacher again this year. I'm very happy about that, I really like him. I have a new bus driver, his name is Danny, he is very nice.

Mommy spent her first day alone at home, trying to straighten out the appliances that they delivered, the order was screwed up. Then the gas guys that came to connect the gas stove said that there's a gas leak outside at the main gas shut off(whatever that is) so they shut off the gas and we have to wait gor the gas company to fix it. Right now we don't have any hot water, the stove and BBQ are gas too so we have to use the microwave. Mommy isn't too happy. And we won't see Daddy until Saturday evening, he's gone to Nova Scotia for work.

Well I should go to bed now,
Good Night

Today I went shopping and out for lunch with Mommy and Auntie Diane. It was a really nice day, it's a little cooler now, but it's much nicer to walk around and explore in.
Mommy is getting pretty sad because I'll be in school in a few days. I'm going to miss her too. But soon my great auntie will be here, and then we'll have Andrea's Christening here over the Thanksgiving weekend. The whole family will be here for that. I can't wait, I haven't seen Uncle Paul, Aunt Dulce and little Amanda since last Christmas and I haven't even met Andrea yet. Mommy says that the house is going to feel incredible with all of our loved ones in it at the same time. And I'm looking forward to the big Christening party, because parties always mean cake.

Daddy was off most of last week and we had a great time. We went to Toronto on Wednesday, than on Thursday and Friday we shopped for new kitchen appliances and a new washer and dryer. Mommy and Daddy picked out all stainless steel ones. The entrance is all finished and the house looks really different.
Then on Sunday we had the annual AS Families picnic. It rained again this year so we had to have it inside and only a few families came. But that was okay, we had a really nice visit with them.
Today I'm helping Mommy do laundry. Daddy is back at work and I really miss him. Oh and it's my last week before school starts. I'm not sure how I feel about that. Mommy says she's really going to miss me, I'm really going to miss her too. But I'm excited about seeing all of my friends.

Well it's almost time to go back to school. I'll be glad to see all of my friends, but I won't be too happy to get up that early every morning.
Mommy and I have been doing some back to school shopping, getting my uniform all ready and buying new shoes. I hope I have Charlene again this year as my bus driver, I've had her ever since I started school. I'm excited about Grade 5, I hope I do well in it.
Oh and soon my great aunt Erika will be here for a visit, we're all pretty excited about that.
Tomorrow we're going on a trip to Toronto with Daddy and Nonna to a jewelry store, I love going to Toronto, there is so much to see. But I think I'm happier living in the country, Toronto is nice to visit though.

This is the color Daddy painted the Hallway.

Today was a rainy day, so I helped Mommy do some laundry, I sorted the socks. Then we cleaned the house, well Mommy cleaned, I helped tidy up. After that we made some Spezzatino, I helped with the vegetables. (It's an Italian stew)
Now we're wating for Daddy to come home.

Another great weekend, the weather was beautiful. Daddy was painting so Mommy and I stayed out of his way. Did some shopping, some swimming, hung out with Geraldine and Uncle Boo.

Saturday night Mommy had to take Nellie to the emergency vet clinic but everything turned out okay. They gave her some medication for her infection and she's feeling much better today already. I'm very happy, we all love Nellie and Molly very much.

Aren't they cute ????

Today B.J. came to visit me in the afternoon. I was so happy to see her, we played some games and she brought me a Franklin movie and some treats too, then we splashed in the pool. We had such a great time together. I just love her so much.

Today was a beautiful day. We spent most 0f it in the pool. I played volleyball in the pool with Daddy, Uncle Boo and Mommy. Then for dinner, Mommy made her famous ribs and Daddy made his yummy chicken wings. They were both really good, and we have lots left over for tomorrow. Tomorrow, Mommy says it's a cleaning day and I have to pick up my all of my toys and stuff. The long weekend is over and it's time to get back to work.

Saturday evening was Mommy's Birthday party. Daddy had it catered and there were about 20 people here. Mommy had a great time, she says whenever her and her Ya-Ya's get together it'a always a hoot. This is a picture of me with Mommy and all of my Aunties except for Auntie Liz and Auntie Dulce. I wish they could have been here. But Auntie Liz lives far away and Auntie Dulce and Uncle Paul just had a baby and live about three hours away.

Then Sunday we spent the whole afternoon in the pool and we're planning on doing the same tomorrow. It's a long weekend so Daddy is off tomorrow.

Today was Mommy's 40th Birthday, it was also the hottest day, 46c with the humidity, on record since 1956. That's funny, you all know how much Mommy hates the heat....Happy Birthday Mommy !!!
Daddy took the day off and we hung out in the pool trying to keep cool, then for dinner Daddy cooked (Swiss Chalet). And Uncle Boo brought Tim's coffee and Mommy her present and we had cake. Mommy's real party is Saturday night when everyone will be here. Daddy is even having it catered !! how exciting. Mommy says that her wish for this decade is to swim in a shark tank with real sharks coming up close. In her twenties she wanted to fly a plane and her and Daddy both did. In her thirties she wanted to jump out of a plane first and then have me, I came along first so she never got to jump out of a plane. But she still got to have me. She says she would never do that now that she's a Mommy. Good thing I came along when I did. Now she wants to swim with sharks. She promised me that it would be very safe for her. Oh boy, why can't Mommy knit or sew like other Mommies !!

I just realized that I don't have a picture of me and Mommy on here, so here is one Uncle Boo took in the spring.

It was a quiet weekend, I'm still not feeling 100%. But my seizures are getting less severe. What a tough week I had though. Daddy was away working in Alberta for part of it so Uncle Boo came and helped Mommy take care of me in the evenings and that way she could have a little break too. I love my Uncle Boo, that's him in the picture with me. And then when Daddy came home I felt even better. Mommy says that I'm her little trooper. I kind of gave Mommy a couple of really scarry nights though.

Saturday I spent most of the afternoon in the pool with Daddy, Uncle Boo and Mommy. Sunday, same thing, with Daddy and Mommy. Tried cajun catfish for dinner. It was pretty good.... needed lots of ketchup.
Tomorrow Mommy says we have loads of laundry and lots of cleaning to do. My great Aunt Erika from Hungary will be here in 49 days and we get to visit with her for a whole month but there is a lot of work to do so the house looks perfect. That's my mommy for you!!! As for me...I can't wait, someone else to shower me with hugs and kisses. It's not easy being me!! a kid can never have too much love !!

Hello,
Sorry I haven't written for a while but I've been pretty sick. Now I'm feeling much better though. Today I get to stay with Darlene and then Auntie Diane because Mommy and Daddy are both in London at an AS Conference with Dr. Jane and Amber and Jessica.
Too bad it's raining, I could have gone swimming with Darlene. But I know my Auntie Diane will find lots of fun things to do inside with me. She's a pre school teacher and really good at doing fun activites. She's single too and looking for a husband. She's very pretty and smart, but Mommy says she's too picky. Mommy says men aren't that complicated. My Auntie should just pick one out and then train him, I guess like we did with Molly and Nellie.

That's my Auntie Diane, isn't she pretty ???

Hello,
Today was a great day !! Daddy had his 6 month check up and the oncologist said that everything is perfect and he has graduated to yearly check ups. I'm so-o-o-o happy. Five years cancer free ...yippee !!
Mommy says that we should be very thankful for all of the wonderful blessings that we have been given, and never forget to thank God every night for them. That's my Mommy and Daddy, they have been together since they were 15 yrs old, they were highschool sweethearts.

What a great weekend !!

Yesterday Uncle Boo , Mommy and I went for a drive down through the fruit belt. We got fresh cherries and plums and apricots and green beans. Then we found Port Dalhousie by accident and went for a little walk there, looked at a big ship. It is such a pretty place, but it was too hot to stay outside for very long. Mommy said we'll go back when we're not in the middle of a heat wave and then we can explore the village a little bit more. I can't wait.

Then in the evening Auntie Carolyn and Uncle Pat came over for a BBQ and a swim and brought everything for dinner, steak, potatoes, salad and a yummy turtle cake. I had such a great time swimming with Auntie Carolyn and splashing Uncle Pat. I just love Auntie Carolyn so much, she always gives me such nice hugs.

Today it was 43c with the humidity, so I just hung out in the pool all day with Mommy and Daddy. It's supposed to be hot like this all week. Thank God for A/C !!!! oh and my pool. I'm such a lucky little kid.
