Quentin and Jack



Visiting Miranda and Luke for dinner last night, Quentin showed us his unknown special talents and turned one energy filled, airplane PJ, Jack into cuddles and quiet sleep. Awwww, so adorable!

I spent a morning walking in my first Rodeo parade this weekend.



Here's Jon, Cassandra and I posing for the camera!

Audio Slave - Like A Stone

Audioslave - Audio...


Funny story with this song. I heard it on the radio months and months ago. I knew it was Chris Cornell and I download his newer albums trying to find this song before I forgot the tune. Tonight we were having a patio dinner with Darryl and Carly and this song popped on the radio. Carly told me the name of the song and finally managed to download it.
Chris Cornell can sound so weird sometimes, but still, I really like his voice. I can barely understand what he's saying in the chorus but the melody is really nice to hum along to.

Audio Slave - Doesn't Remind Me

04 Doesn't Remind ...


Went for my second morning mini jog around the neighbourhood this morning and this song came up on the shuffle. It's one of those songs were the moment I heard the first couple lyrics I smiled and went, yes that's very true. Now I'm hooked and I know the lyrics will be stuck in my head all day.

Shayna

Shayna and I hit the beach at sunset the other night and I had the chance to snap these fantastic pics of her.

My Baby Book

I called my Mom yesterday asking her if she had a copy of my birth certificate so I can renew my passport. She found a copy in my baby book which she brought to work and turns out is a wealth of clippings from when I was little 2 to 3 years.

Lisa loves dresses and clothes. Runs to the mirror and looks at
herself.
In stores she loves to look at clothes. I guess Mommy taught her
clothes are fun.
She sits still when I braid her hair and runs to the mirror when I'm
finished.

Loves her baby brother, shows very little jealousy, kisses and hugs
him.

Lisa is really maturing she helps Mom and calls herself Mommy's
friend. She asks "why" about everything. She picks up on
conversation and misses very little. She loves music, sings and
carries a tune well. When I put on the stereo she just sits and sings and
listens. She watches over Jonathan and is so concerned when he hurts
himself. Lisa is a little mother and loves babies.

Lisa's first report was very good. Lisa is very social makes
decisions when necessary and trys to do new things. Lisa was shy at first
but is getting over it.

Lisa loves going to school she has a little friend Darren. She calls all the boys Darren and they get mad at her. (I guess my first boy friends name was Darren)

Lisa Goes with Daddy to look at bathroom fixtures in a show room. Takes off pants and pees in show toilet. (Oh my poor father he must have been horrified)


My Mom took a clippings of my hair when I was a baby and I think it's very interesting that the color of hair that I think looks best on me is actually the one I had as a child (golden sandy blond). I watched a makeover show once were the hairdresser had the client bring in her baby pictures and took the client from platinum blond to the auburn brunette she was as a child. It was a great change for her and she looked years younger.

Candice needs your votes.



Hi everyone last week we all decided to have our picture taken at the OB in White Rock with Herbal Essence. Candice was picked in this weeks top ten and she's trying to make it to the semi finals. The voting is done online, and every email address can vote once a day till the end of the week. So everyone vote for Candice. I think if you win the competition it's a trip to Toronto along with lots of little prizes.

Coming Home



Tonight I was driving home from Langley after losing in a multiple offer situation. It was the first time that my offer didn't win. :( But then this song played on my Nano, and the roads, the trees, and the sunset were just so pretty. I thought, "Wow, I love the fact that I'm working late and driving home on these quiet roads."

Comin' Home Baby (Duet With Boy ll men)


So today this is my song. I'm in love with the harmony at the beginning!

Michael Buble

03-michael_buble-m...

I have a huge crush!!!! Michael Buble - and his new album Call me Irresponsible. Of all things I was organizing my wine and martini glasses tonight and this song came on. It gives me butterflies.

I said to Quentin, "I love this song it's so emotional" and he said, "so are you." What I can say :)

Chris Puleo is home from Hawaii, you might be able to tell from the degree of tan who he is. I like this picture because these are some of the men in my life, my two brothers to the left, and my husband Quentin on the right.

A Weekend in Deauville



The cutest cottage in the world! It has a grass roof that even had plants growing on it's top. The sweetest French Vietnam lady lives there and she invited a group of us to stay for the night, because she enjoys the company.





Clothes on a line with checkered linens, so cute!





We drove about an hour and a half from Paris to stay in Deauville and also had the chance to visit the beaches at Normandy.





Everyone together on the beach.

Deauville France

I uploaded the rest of the pictures to Picasa's online web album!
