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!!

The point of Hunter's Point.

We have had the cottage at Hunter's Point now for six years now, such a wonderful find, out in the middle of nowhere, no electricity, no phones and no interruptions.
Just family time, it's all about the girls and making lifelong memories for them.
The point of Hunter's point is just that , family, it is just a wonderful place to get back to nature and the basics(no electronics, no phones ringing, no work and no other commitments).

There is a lot of relaxing...

Some boating, and some fishing....

Family time and cuddling...

Some pretty scenery thrown in...

More relaxing...

More fishing and happy times..

That's the point of our Hunter's Point......
