A visit with Grandpa

Chad and I, David and Michelle, and Sarah and her family all went to visit Papa in Oshawa on Sunday for the afternoon. It made Papa's day, he told us that he loved our visit and I will make it a point to visit more often.

I couldn't help but notice that someone had taken down the pictures of my siblings and I and replaced them with pictures of Katie though. I know Papa would never have done that and it is a shame that these actions are a staple in certain parts of the family. I didn't let it bother me as I know in my heart that Nan and Pops hold the three of us very close within their hearts :)

McKnightmas

The holidays were amazing this year. It was so nice having the family all together again.

~ The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. ~

McKnightmas Day

McKnightmas Eve

Spoiled bunch yet again. PS3's and Wii's, Digital movie Cam's, jewelry, clothes, chocolates, sewing machines, car starters, knife sets, and the list goes on!

Turkey Dinner, Xmas Pudding, a walk through the barn yard, strumming guitars, what a glorious day.

~ Perhaps the best Yuletide decoration is being wreathed in smiles. ~

Christmas Breakfast

All happiness depends on a leisurely breakfast.

Children ask better questions than adults.....

"May I have a cookie?" "Why is the sky blue?" and "What does a cow say?" are far more likely to elicit a cheerful response than "Where's your manuscript?" Why haven't you called?" and "Who's your lawyer?"

Hockey With Dad

"It is not flesh and blood but the heart which makes us fathers and sons."

A balanced diet is a cookie in each hand

This mornings breakfast...

These lyrics....... I love them.

Nothing about you is typical

Nothing about you is predictable
You’ve got me all twisted and confused
(It’s all new)
Up til now, I thought I knew love
Nothing to loose and its damaged cause
Patterns will fall as quick as I do, but now

Bridges are burning
Baby I’m learning, a new way of thinking now
Love I can see, nothing will be, just like it was
Is that because?

Baby you’re so unusual
Didn’t anyone tell you, you’re supposed to, break my heart?
I expect you do, so why haven’t you?
Maybe you’re not even human cause
Only an angel can be so unusual
Sweet surprise, I could get used to
Unusual You

Been so many things when i was someone else
Boxer in the ring trying to defend myself
In the private eye to see what's going on
(That's long gone)
When I'm with you, i can just be myself
You're always where you say you will be
Shocking cause i never knew love like this could exist

Tables are turning
My heart is soaring, You'll never let me down
Answer my call, here after all
Never met anyone like you

Baby you’re so unusual
Didn’t anyone tell you, you’re supposed to, break my heart?
I expect you do, so why haven’t you?
Maybe you’re not even human cause
Only an angel can be so unusual
Sweet surprise, I could get used to
Unusual You

Can't believe that I almost didn't try
When you call my name
Now everything has changed

Baby you’re so unusual
Didn’t anyone tell you, you’re supposed to, break my heart?
I expect you do, so why haven’t you?
Maybe you’re not even human cause
Only an angel can be so unusual
Sweet surprise, I could get used to
Unusual You

The song it surprisingly pleasing too!

Gymnastics Ribbons

The boys have been in Gymnastics for one semester now and have just received their ribbon which allows them into level two for their next semester!

They were so excited tonight when they received their ribbons as they were not expected, yet.

Cole has had a deep croupy cough for the past few days and I was debating on whether or not I should have taken them to class tonight, but Chad said he would not go without his brother so they gave it a try. Cole didn't complain at all and rarely coughed throughout class.

It turned out to be a great day after all, especially since Dad came by on his way home from Hamilton :)

If you want to make your dreams come true, the first thing you have to do is wake up.
