Medical Shows

This is a video of Ren watching a Medical show. Note how much he is enjoying the nightly show! hehe. I just love him!! :)

Family Photos

Kimberly's talent, last time Katie and I were over there, helps satisfy my heart. I really love family. I really love my family. I love seeing photos of them on my hallway walls. I love looking at every little smile on their faces. I, honestly, look at all the photos on my way to bed. It has become my routine that I love doing. It makes me smile. It makes me realise how time really flies and how much I have missed and am missing. I have caught Katie walking down the hallway looking at the photos as well. I can tell she is missing her cousins. Nothing better than family, you can love them and fight with them, and love them again. It is coming back to the love that makes us tighter. It is coming back to the love that makes me miss them more.

Kimberly! I can't wait for those photos!!! :D

Nothin' like Home for Christmas

I am starting think about Christmas more and more these days. My heart can't wait to return home, especially for my FAVOURITE season! The idea of seeing my nieces that I haven't met and for Katie to be reunited with her cousins, tickles me to death!! Ren told me that he hasn't even met Kim - Chris' wife. I forgot about that. Funny how I think since I know everyone he would too, hehe.
I can't wait for Kimberly's talent in photography to be used. I so want several photos of the cousins hanging on my wall :) The idea of a Family and Friends Christmas Dinner makes me so excited! Everyone together and enjoying each other's company and fellowship. Katie and I can't wait for making Christmas cookies with mom (grandma). I can't wait for the smell of pine!! The sound of Christmas music in the mall/shops. The feeling of crisp cold on my face with the smell of pine! Going to Christmas Church Service. Nothing better. Last time we were there for Christmas was when Katie was 3!! Wow! that seems like such a long time ago.

Kute Katie

I like this photo of Katie. It was taken in May. She had short hair back then. She has decided though that she likes long hair.

Ren's Birthday

Ren's birthday was a couple of weeks back but this was a crazy birthday for our family.

The Thursday before his birthday, Ren and I both took the day off of work, we needed us time. Felt weird considering this was the first time I have ever done this. We watched a movie in Gold Class - the movie was Wanted. Well that was a disappointment. Both Ren and I left feeling it was ok but not great. Well in Gold Class you order food and they bring it into you during the movie, you sit in recliner chairs as well. Well my parma wrap didn't taste quite right, I kept thinking that there was a pickle coming which was a bit strange since pickles and parma don't mix. No pickle though. Friday morning I had BrdU-meaning I had to be at work by 6am to add a cytotoxic chemical to our cell cultures. Well in the middle of doing this, my stomach started cramping and the diarrhea hit (sorry for the TMI). Then it happened one more time. Well I wasn't going to stay at work like this so I called my boss and informed her of what was going on and left. Well every 15-20mins I was in the bathroom. It was bad! Looks like I had food poisoning. I couldn't keep anything in me. That was like this all day Friday, Saturday -I missed a Creative Memories Workshop, and Sunday. Well Ren's parents had invited us over for his birthday lunch on Sunday. I couldn't go so just Ren and Katie went. I felt bad that I couldn't participate in his birthday. I didn't even have a chance to get him a birthday gift. Pretty bad. Well I was out of work Monday and Tuesday as well. Both Ren and Katie were very helpful. So when I got back on my feet I made Ren a lemon birthday cake.

Google Street Map - Good, Bad, Indifferent?

Google has done Google Earth and now they have gone 3D-ish and have created Google Street Map. This is an interesting concept. I looked up my house just to see what it looked like and thank goodness Ren must have done the yard! hehe.
Here is a photo of what my house looks like on it :) Yikes they caught me at home-my car in driveway hehe. There has been a debate on whether this is an invasion of privacy or not. Interesting thought

The Weather

Boy the weather here is so crazy. One day it is starting to feel like spring, the next day it feels like the middle of winter ! CrAzY :)

The photo is one of my favourites! I love the way my mom and Katie look in it!!
