Holiday Beach, Lake Erie
Today we spent the day at Holiday beach, on Lake Erie. We had to pay $8 to get into the conservation area but it was well worth the money. It was a beautiful day. The kids spent most of the time in the water and burying each other and Tom spent the time taking photographs. I just lay there watching the kids play, and planning my next scrapage with all the photo's Tom was taking.
Little Liv
This was taken of Liv the day before her 5th birthday. I did this page at Scraptherapy. It is a store that holds a scrap night every Friday and that is my highlight of the week. I get to scrap for 5 hours and have a great laugh with other women who go there, we all have the same in common and get on really well. I get lots of tips and if we run out of anything Amanda has her store open until midnight, which is great!
Our Holly
I started scrap booking in November last year and have been totally hooked on it ever since. This is a page that I did of Holly. The photographs were taken in Tom's studio. I placed some journalling which you can pull out and read, it is placed at the back of her main picture on the right hand side, so in years to come she will sit and read what she did at that stage of her life. I have now got Holly on to it, but find she want to spend my scrap time helping her, she has started her own collection of scrapbook supplies most of it is the stuff that I have used on a previous page. It is the best hobby that I have ever had and hope that Holly and liv enjoy it as much as I do.

The day of Livi's birthday party
Tom in bed with Harry Potter
He started reading Harry Potter @ 3 In the afternoon
Nanny Norine
Holly & Liv out side St. David's
Today was another busy day. Olivia had her official birthday party today she invited her little friends round and had a great time. We then went to visit our dear friend Noreen, the kids call her nanny Norine, they have adopted her as their nanny, as one of their Nanny's live in Scotland and the other in Runcorn, England, they love to visit Noreen and have now made another friend called Hildagarde, who loves to do jigsaw puzzles with Holly. It has been a very tiring day today and I can't wait to go to bed. Tom is sat on the couch reading, and the kids are in bed. Tomorrow Holly has horseriding camp all week so it should be a very tiring week for her, little Liv will spend the week with me, I will be taking her to the outdool pool which is great in this weather.

Hello there. Well we have nearly been in Canada for 1 year and it has gone over so quick. To be honest it has not been that easy to say the least, and Canada is not how I imagined it. but we're getting there. The kids have settled in now, Holly was not sure at first she hated it, she missed home, missed her friends, we went through a bad time at school, but she got through that and is looking forward to going up to grade 4, she has some lovely friends and knowing that she will grow up with them is great. Liv is 5 years old today. We have had a great day, we have just sang happy birthday to her for the second time today, the first time was at our good friend Melanie's, she made her a little cake and bought her a stuffed horse which she loved, and tomorrow we are having a little party for her and inviting 6 of her friends. We took her and Holly to Boppers for dinner and Tom spent the whole time reading Harry Potter (thanks to Mel) as she has lent the book to Tom but has said she wants it back in two weeks, so that will be him stuck with his head in it for the next two weeks, not sure what everyone sees in him to be honest. (Harry Potter that is).
