Year of the Tiger.

Wishing you a Happy New Year full of health and prosperity.

Xin Nian Kuai Le....

My funny little Valentine.

Your my life, my soul and I love you so much.

Hope you have a wonderful day with your loved ones...

Boo!!

We are ready for trick or treating, was a little worried that Jen wouldn't be going out door to door in the neighbourhood. She has been a little under the weather so has been at home for the last three days, I think we will be taking it easy and only going to a few houses.
We are ready for the ghosts and goblins, have a "Safe" Halloween!

Jen is too sick to go out tonight, she is fevered and is not even upset she isn't trick or treating.

My poor baby...

For the new arrival..

Off to buy some supplies for our boy who is coming home tomorrow, such an exciting time around here!!!

It's a boy!

The girls picked their puppy today!

We told them this morning we were going to drive to Simcoe area to buy a pumpkin, we loaded them into the car and Daddy and I looked at each other and winked, we had pulled it off, the world's best kept secret.

The reaction was so adorable, confusion, shock, then sheer joy when we told them they could pick their puppy from the three boys. They picked the largest boy with the spots on his shoulder, just an amazingly beautiful puppy!!

We loaded two happy girls into the car, I looked back into the backseat to find Jennifer in tears.

Happy tears, yes we are in love...

New addition.

One of these beautiful babies will be part of our family, the girls will decide tomorrow which one is coming home to his forever family next weekend.
So glad I am not choosing, I want both, LOL.

Full Moon Fever

We are preparing for a family Full Moon festival tonight.
We have purchased moon cakes, fruit, nuts and candy.
We will have some Chinese food and then take to the neighbourhood with our lit lanterns. Now if only that weather would hold off for our full moon viewing....
From our family to yours "Happy Moon Festival"...

Fall fairs.

Fall is here.

This is my favourite season, the colors, the smells, the harvest crops and the fall fairs.

The girls have been to two fairs and the third will be on Thanksgiving weekend.

I love to watch my girls faces while they ride the carousel, waving to me every time they pass me, it is magical....

Please join me...

Join me in wishing Sugar, Spice and a little Rice a safe and wonderful journey to her daughter. Her husband and her leave for China tomorrow, we couldn't be happier for them.
Sending hugs to you Deb, love the monkeys..

First day of School 09'

Today was the first day back for the monkeys.
A day of mixed emotions, Jennifer was ecstatic to be returning to her friends, Jilly-Bean was apprehensive(as you can see in the above photo).
Standing in line my baby grabbed me for dear life and cried big crocodile tears. Keeping my composure I comforted her and sent her to the door, walking away trying to fight back tears. Talking to her teacher later in the day she told me that as soon as Jill went into the school the tears stopped and she was fine.
Jen on the other hand went to her line, didn't want Mom to kiss or hug her, not in front of her friends(yeesh Mom??)LOL.
The first day of school was fantastic, they came home so excited and they love their teacher, yes!!

It's that time of year.

It's that time of year, back to school supplies are being purchased today.
For me it always seems a little sad to see the Summer end and the girls head off to school. For them, well, they can't wait to see old friends, meet new ones and share their Summer adventures.
My monkey are growing up, all too fast...

Congrats to you Monkeys

Congrats Jilly-bean on completing your first year of Kindergarten, Mommy and Daddy are so proud of you!!
Now it's time to start your holidays, whoo hoo!!

Congrats to you Puddin' for finishing Grade one, we are so proud of you.
Can't wait to start our Summer vacation, yes!!!

Congrats !

Hop on over and congratulate Lily, she is a "Big Sister".
We are so happy for this wonderful family, they have a son, he is so precious...

Happy Gotcha Day Jennifer.

It was six years ago today I knew what it felt like to have my heart living and beating outside my body.
Happy Gotcha Day to you my dearest, we love you..

Sshh, it's a surprise..

We are taking the girls to Disney on ice tonight, can't believe I actually kept it a secret. They are going to be so surprised!!

Special day indeed.

First I want to wish a belated birthday to our "Special Grandma F". We send our love and best wishes!!

I could hardly sleep last night thinking of this man(it's okay Superman would be okay with this, LOL) and what must be going through his mind today. A leader with such promise, a role model, a man who is going to make history books.

I will be glued to my T.V. to watch him become the 44th President of The United States of America, a special day for all...

Happy Gotcha Day to my sweet Jilly-Bean.

To my little Jilly-Bean.....

Thank you for,

Filling out hearts with such love,

For resonating our home with laughter,

For your feisty spirit(keeping Mommy and Daddy on their toes, LOL),

For being a sweet little sister,

For being a loving and beautiful daughter.

Happy Gotcha day to my sweet baby, I love more than words can say.

Mommy, Daddy and Jennifer.

Lest we forget...

Let us never forget.....

This was also a special day for our family, it was three years ago today we got the call for Jillian's referral. What a special little blessing you have been to your Mommy, Daddy and big sister. We love and adore you.

Congrats Puddin'.

Last evening was Puddin' Pops Sparks enrollment ceremony, she received her second year badge and pin. She also was a presenter and had to introduce some of her first year Spark friends, she did such a great job.
I was so proud of her, she stood in front of an audience, spoke loudly, clearly and with such confidence!
Nice work Sweetie girl, congrats.
Love Mommy, Daddy and Mie-Mie.
