fishing story

This the story of a very happy boy and his first sea fishing experience in Florida. He had been saying for weeks that when we where going to be in Florida, that he would go fishing with his daddy.

We thought the night before that he might not go in the morning since he is such a grump when he wakes up. To our surprise he was just up ans ready to go in an instant. He was dressed in no time and did not play with his food one bit.

Here is 2 pictures of his first trip and first catch. He has all the pride he can have in his face. That little red snapper was his trophy.

The following day he kept asking when they would go back? 3 days later they returned for a second day of fishing. It was an afternoon trip, in the hot sun but what a catch this one was. Before his departure he told me that he would catch me a dolphin! I thought hummm that would be good for dinner.

When he got back from his trip he was all smiles but would not say if he caught something. Then I saw the catch they had from the afternoon, woahhhhh. When I saw that beautiful, golden, green and bluish fish I was so proud of him and he was just beaming with joy and bursting with pride. Then I said humm what a good dinner we'll had and we did.

Now that we are back he keeps talking about next year when we go back to Florida and how he is going to catch some more.

Cold but...

Beautiful it was this past Friday afternoon. We left our home around 4:45pm and it was a comfy 46 degrees and at the Holland State Park still the same but with the wind coming from the lake it felt much colder. Still we decided to venture out to the point and see the icebergs. We did not make it to the end of the boardwalk since it was to steep of snow and ice but we came close to it ans of course for safety reasons. It was very nice ti see so much snow, ice and sand pack 50 plus feet high. We got to see an iceberg fall in the water and make a big splash, unfortunately my camera was not on at the time although I was getting ready to shoot! We did not stay long for our hand quickly were getting cold but what fun it was.

need a minute

I feel that many areas of my life a few minutes to be caught up. This picture I think represents well what I am talking about. And this is only a picture of my ironing to do. But with the beautiful sunshine we have been having this week it has made things a little easier to enjoy. We even have gone outside work late afternoon walk to soak up the sunshine and try to take in some vitamin D. with spring only a few days away I can't help to think of better days. Anyway I got to go and get started on that ironing, so which shirt should I start with?

our third little peanut!

Here is the first picture of our third and last child to be born at the end of September. We found out 3 week ago that we where expecting again. We thought our family to be complete with 2 kids but we believe that God has a different plan for us. We will welcome this little one as happy as we did the other two. Julien is happy to be a big brother and Olivia is still not sure of the whole thing. At first she said she did not want a baby that she is the baby. But just last evening when we went to have the ultrasound done she was happy to say that the baby is in mommy's belly, and that she will help when the baby cries.

Anyway keep visiting us to get updates on our little family!

It's been a long time

Sorry for the long time for an update of our blog.

We have had a lot a sickness around our house in the last 3 weeks.

Everyone is better now and trying in getting back into the routine.

These are pictures I took for Valentine's Day. We had a nice day playing, doing crafts, and of course cooking!We had our traditional chocolate fondue for desert and what a hit it was for the kids.

She is our

little princess with the blue dress. Olivia was spoiled with this beautiful dress especially made for her by her ant Huguette from Quebec. Thanks to our ant and her skillful fingers with have this beautiful dress and a crinoline to go with it to add this little frou frou that makes it so special.

It is every girl's dream. I remember thinking that I would of love having one to prance around. Well My daughter at barely 2 1/2 yrs has already that privilege.

She learned very quick how to walk, sit and do the wave.

I told her that I would take some pictures of her so she could see how pretty she looks in her dress. Those pictures were the easiest I have taken of her in the last 6 months!

Anyway just wanted to share how cute she is.

Any of you want to come over for a tea party? Because just about every time she puts the dress on we have to have a tea party!

Happy New Year!

Hope it is the start of all good things for you all. No long list resolutions for me. I used to and never kept any for more and a few months. But it will be to continue what I am working on and to pay attention to small details that makes a difference in my life and the ones around me.

Life is so short and I want to take time and enjoy the moment, with my children, my family, and friends. Why not my neighbors and people that I randomly meet at the market, school, or the bank, that is what makes the difference TIME, QUALITY TIME! So if I seem not to do that with you please advise me. It will only help me and remind me of my mission this year.

I started it off during the holiday season so I could enjoy my time with family and it worked. We had so much fun talking, playing games, watching a video, drawing,....
