Just One Emergency After the Other.

Posted on 14 April 2008 by MommyKnows

Sorry peeps, we’ve had a rough week.

I’ve been x-rayed mri’d, jabbed, poked, prodded and parted with all kinds of fluids.

I’ve had several more ‘episodes’ where I loose feeling and the use of one or both of my arms (not fun). It comes with the most unbearable feeling … not pain but just as unwanted.

Will and I spent 13 hours in the ER over the weekend … tiring … boring … worrisome.

Lizzy scared us this evening by getting a BIG HONKIN’piece of wood stuck in her leg. There were no tears …

The Doc says, “she’s the toughest kid I’ve ever seen”. I agree :)

Oh … you wanna see?

Leg Pain

She also wanted me to take a picture from the top too, because you can see some blood. HAHA

Leg Wound

Talk to you soon!

Birthdays - Bical Winner - New Contest

Posted on 23 March 2008 by MommyKnows

We’ve just arrived home from Easter at the farm. I am better, but tired. I was extremely grateful to Mr. MK for writing my post last night.

Today Lizzy turned NINE. I know it’s a cliche, but it’s hard for me to believe.

Birthday Girl

NINE! Nine is 1/2 grown. Nine requires curlers. Nine is BEAUTIFUL!

A new baby arrived today to share Lizzy’s birthday.

New Baby

Seven Days in a Week - Day 4 (Thursday)

Posted on 13 March 2008 by MommyKnows


Sam and Lizzy jumping on the trampoline.

Jumping Around
They look like orphans (happy orphans), but if I am honest this is pretty much par for the course at this time of night (7 pm). Lizzy is on her 2nd or 3rd outfit of the day. I had to take a clean pair of pants to school about 2:00 pm because she ‘fell’ in a puddle.

They love the trampoline and have loads of fun together. It was a smart buy! Good exercise and fun, you can’t beat that.

Seven Days in a Week: Monday (1)

Posted on 10 March 2008 by MommyKnows

Due to a busy week. schedule. I am going to join OMSH and post a daily photo, instead of a wordy post for just one week.

Seven Days in a Week: Monday (1)

Reading was a chore for Lizzy for a long time. Finally, she is starting to read for pleasure. For this I am thankful. I am also grateful that she let me snap this shot. She is getting stingy with photo-ops and letting me use them on the blog.

Just Look at This!

Posted on 02 March 2008 by MommyKnows

Does scenery get any better than this?

Sunshine Village

Or this?

Sunshine Village

More ski stuff … sorry, but that’s all we did … ALL Day! As you can see from the blue sky, it was a gorgeous day for skiing.

It was also a day of many firsts.

Sam and I skied our first Double Black today. It was steep, full of moguls and it was treed. The Sunshine trail guide says it is one of the meanest ways down the lower half of Goat’s Eye. I’d have to agree.

It dawned on me (just prior to taking this run), while watching the kids ski moguls (much better than I can), that it wouldn’t be long before they leave me behind. It was also was clear to me that I am a pretty good skier, who lags a little in the courage department. I decided that I really need to push myself a little more.

Georgia had a big day too! She had her first lesson, rode the magic carpet on her own and skied her first run. It was cute, cute, cute! I have the video of course! I actually have about a dozen, but I won’t subject you to all of them … maybe just one or two. I’ll have to go through and pick out the best once we are home.

My favorite video of the day is Lizzy skiing the Eagle’s Nest (my favourite run). She takes her dad (the camera man) for a little surprise rie right at the end. Love it!
