Announcing The Birth of Lina Elizabeth...

... born March 29th 2011 at 10:14pm - weighing 7lbs 12oz.

We had Alexia all day Tuesday while Leah was having the baby. Mom was at their house for the morning with her. Mid afternoon Mom brought her back to our house for dinner and her bath. It was great to see Alexia as we have missed seeing her every day! Here is Alexia on my iPod, looking at pictures of herself...

She was in a wild mood

She was having lots of fun!

Daddy (Nathan), Alexia and baby Lina

So much love

Congratulations Leah and Nathan! We are so happy for you.

"Amazing Grace"

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,

That saved a wretch like me.

I once was lost, but now I'm found,

Was blind but now, I see.

Dinner Conference, Scott's Concert, Tea Dance and More!

Last Thursday, my boss called and wondered if I would like to come to a dinner conference in Ottawa with her that evening. It was a very nice buffet dinner. While we were eating, a naturopath gave a talk for Natural Factors (a natural supplement company) about some of their latest products. It was nice to learn more about what I am selling! Friday night was Scott's last concert of the year with the OUO (Ottawa University Orchestra). Shawn and I went early to save seats for Mom, Dad, Nana and Papa. Uncle Robin and my cousin Leah were able to come as well. Dad had been in Toronto for the last part of the week. He drove home Friday afternoon, had dinner and then drove Mom, Nana and Papa into the concert. Busy day. The orchestra played a very long piece, "Brahm's German Requiem". There was a large choir of close to 120 people. There was two vocal soloists performing as well. It was a great concert. I'm so glad we were all able to go.

This afternoon, the last tea dance of the season was held at the Almonte Town Hall. The Women's Institute always does the tea, sweets and sandwiches for the dances. I went to work with another lady this afternoon. There was lots of people out today to dance. It's fun to watch all the different couples dancing.

This past week I finished my e learning! I only have two more driving lessons before I can take my G2. I am looking forward to having all this done... and being able to just drive. I booked my test this week for April 20th. Please pray that everything goes well and that I'm not too nervous...

I have started another blog, Quotes about Life, Love and Faith. Some of you may have noticed the link on my sidebar. It's a place that I can put all the quotes that I find. Feel free to go over and take a look!

Also Shawn just started a blog A Gentleman's View. Go over and take a look! Have a wonderful week everyone!

Spring is in the air... or is it Snow?

All at once, one day, it's spring...

- "Seven Brides For Seven Brothers"

Yesterday was the first day of spring...absolutely beautiful... today, well so far 3-4 inches of snow! I went and looked after Alexia at her house for a couple of hours today while her Mom had an appointment... we made a snowman together!

Family Time

Scott came home for part of the weekend! Shawn picked him up in Ottawa. They did a few errands and then we all met at 4:30 Mass. We were able to have some nice quiet family time together today. This morning after breakfast us kids went for a nice long walk with the dog. After we got back we spent some time shooting Shawn's new SKS. We got a movie of me shooting but I am having trouble downloading it on here... for all my facebook readers it's on my profile.


I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!
