Change

Well, seeing as the boys are getting too old to have this blog be about them, I've set up a new blog.  There, I will probably post about as often as I did here, but at least I won't feel the pressure to make it all about them.  See you in the flip side!

Coal?

Today Stewie was trying to be helpful!  How sweet!  One of the boys was misbehaving, so he checked his stocking for coal!!  Do you know which boy?

Over an open fire...

After his visit to the fridge, Stewie aimed for a warmer activity.  Do you think this is better??

His marshmallows were nice and toasty!  

C-c-c-c-cold!

Stewie was missing the cold of his homeland, so he decided to sneak in here...

I'm surprised his teeth weren't chattering!  Kaleb has decided not to talk to him for a few days...how dare Stewie prefer coke??  I, on the other hand, am very proud!  Coke beats Pepsi every time!  What do you think?

Stewie

Let me introduce you to Stewie. 

We've adopted him.  He needed a home, so we gave him one.  The only thing is,  Stewie is not used to living with people, you know, full sized people.  Sometimes he gets in to trouble.  Especially because he is nocturnal and we are sleeping at night, so we aren't able to guide and teach him in the ways he should go.  I'd like to share some of his shenanigans with you.  But, shhhhh!  We don't want him to be embarrassed, so don't tell him about this blog series!  

Visitors from another....province!

This ragged looking duo showed up at our door, camping gear in car, for a short stay.  And what a blessing it was!  It was perfect timing to distract from the funeral and loss.  I love having friends that

 are more like family!!  Friends you can not feed, not entertain, and yet they still come back and welcome you back with open arms!!  There were no big special moments, just the easy comfort of good friends!!

The Birthday Boy!

It's Gaetan's second birthday of 2013 today.  Seeing as we celebrate twice, I've always wondered if he is now 86??  He looks awfully good for an 86 year old!!!  

What to say about the birthday boy?  We all know he is hard working, industrious, a good provider, a good dad, a loving husband....

But did you know... He can also be a wild man??  ( and though I've only heard him yell twice, I appreciate his occasional wildness :))

He has good lungs, but an even better heart, in both ways.

I have never known him to be prideful, he is the humblest man I've met.  Of course he doesn't think so, that would be contradictory.

All in all, he's one fine catch!  We are SO blessed that he was born 43 years ago!!

Oh, yeah, and if you think the cake looks good check out my food blog later today for the recipe!  It is my new favorite cake! I will definitely be making it for thanksgiving!  Mmmmm!
