Today Mom, Dad and I ate at the "Reversing Falls Restaurant". Mom had her doctors appointment and when we finished it was close to lunch time. I asked Paul to join us but he was tooooooooo busy at work....maybe next time.

A Little Late For This Winter

Paul took the plunge and bought a pair of snowshoes on ebay. They are used but in great shape. Now we are all set for next winter.....I never thought I would say this, but I hope we have lots of snow next winter; just snow, though, no ice!

Isaac Celebrated his 5th B-day with Opa and Oma

As you know, Opa and Oma are down this weekend. On Saturday we had Peter and family out for supper and celebrated Isaac's birthday.

Lego time.

Sasha was running a temperature after his MMR vaccination, so Michele was giving him some medicine. He sat still and took it with no complaints.


Supper time......ham, vegetables, rolls and salad.


Oma had made cupcakes with "Flash MacQueen" cupcake papers. We frosted them here amd put sprinkles on them....Isaac's favorite.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ISAAC!!!!!!

Final Touch to Laundry Room


Went to Fabricville after work on Thursday and within 5 minutes found this material. I think it compliments the colors in the room and the price was right....$6.00 for the valance; works for me.

Old Out - New In

Our faithful stove of 26 years, moved out today. It still works great but it's time to start repalcing the appliances before we absolutely have to. We are trying to find a good home for it.

The new stove arrived today.......

.......notice the smooth top, no burners!



The oven is convection, self cleaning with porcelain rakes. I sound like a kid with a new toy :-)

New Look for Laundryroom/Bathroom

Last week and this weekend, Paul and I painted the laundryroom/bathroom. I have spent the last month with paint chips on the walls trying to find a color to match the flooring. The girls were home over March Break and gave their opinion...and so we painted it with benjamin moore paint #2128 oxford gray. I think it looks more blue and that is the look I was going for. We repainted the base boards and door/window casings. Now I have to make a trip to Fabricville and get material for a window valance. Below are before and after pictures. I have my before and after pictures backwards :-)
