Ever Our Love Will Last, I Always Want to Call You Friend


We have been such busy little bees since I last wrote. Tara was over last Wednesday and on Thursday, we went for Greek lunch with Karen and the other Tara. Thursday night we saw Tracee and Taytum (and I think I got a daycare cold from her and am working on passing it on to my mommy) and then on Friday, well we shopped a bit but mostly stayed home. Saturday night was fun because my mommy and daddy's friends came over until wee hours of the morning and they brought my boyfriend Grady. We had fun watching movies together in our twin chairs. Sunday we went to my grandparents house like what we always do, and I wasn't feeling well but I wouldn't sleep so my Nonno and mom took me for a walk and it started raining hard but I feel asleep and managed to stay asleep for three hours! Then I came home and was in bed by ten and I woke my mommy up at 6 am this morning because I was all slept out. My Nonna is still away and she emailed today saying she was going shopping at the factory outlets in Calgary! I sure hope she finds something for me. Posted by Picasa

I Wanna Hear Your Secrets, Share Your Worries, Go The Deepest, I Don't Wanna Hurry


Today was so much fun! Elaine brought Victoria and Sophia over and we dressed the same and watched Snow White and took pictures while our mom's ate and gabbed all afternoon. Well, we also slept and cried a lot but that just doesn't sound as perfect as the first part. We are like fashion stars, I love clothes. This evening got cool again and just mommy and me (no dogs) went for a walk for about an hour down to the shopping plaza to the bank machine and the drug store. No sign of my other ballet slipper. Oh yeah, two weeks ago when we walked in the evening with Jody I was wearing my pink ballet slipper shoes and when we arrived at home Jody and my mommy realized that I had lost not one, but BOTH of my shoes during the walk. Yesterday when we were all walking through the park again, someone had found one of my shoes and hung it on a twig. Jody and my mommy were really weirded out by that. Anyway, here's hoping the other one will end up on a twig or post somewhere also. Tomorrow my mommy's friend Tara is coming over. She hasn't had her baby yet but it will be another girly afternoon. Posted by Picasa

Maybe my Love Could Fly Over the Ocean, Maybe my Heart Should Try to Leave Him Alone


So we got back from visiting all my family in Ontario on Thursday night. I had such a good time meeting everyone, but I hated the plane ride. I cried the whole time there because I had no room to stretch and no room to sleep, but on the trip back I was ok because I had my own seat and my own space to eat and watch my dvds. I cried in pain when we landed though. Thank God we came home on Thursday instead of Friday because there was a tornado passing through southern Ontario and planes were not leaving Pearson Airport for a while, so we could have been stuck there for hours and hours. I got to go swimming in the lake my daddy grew up going to, and I swam in a pool too. I had no trouble switching over to eastern time with my sleep patterns, but now that we are home I have to adjust to go back to our time because I am waking up really early these days and my mommy, and me, are really tired. I still don't have any teeth yet. Daddy leaves for camping tomorrow morning and my mommy put a temporary permit on her little car which she hasn't driven since I was born so that will be different. She's been spoiled with the van and now she is going to have to cram herself into the backseat of the two door car to attempt to get me into the carseat which my dad had a hairy trying to install earlier today. At least we can still go out shopping. We are having lots of friends over for lunches this week and I will get to see Victoria and Sophia again on Tuesday. Will keep you posted.

PS I just read that Stevie Nicks' father died last week and me and my mommy love Stevie so our thoughts are with her and her family during this sad time. Stevie thought the world of her father and referred to him as a "force of nature".

And That Life Will Once More be a Celebration, And That You Will be Touched by an Angel


I have lots of mosquito bites, but no teeth yet. Maybe I will get some while we are in Ontario. We leave on Friday morning, so if I don't write again before then, you will have to wait until we get back to hear all the latest news. We are going to be busy there meeting with all of daddy's many many family members. There's tons of aunts and uncles and cousins and of course my nana and poppa so there won't be a dull moment. Tomorrow we get to drop the dogs off at the bording kennel where they love to play. K, well gotta go but see ya later. Bye! Posted by Picasa

Well the Two of us, Well we Must be, a Great Temptation to Have Even Started


Yesterday was fun and exciting! It was mommy's birthday and she woke up to a nice surprise from me and daddy! He got her a beautiful full size mirror for her new bathroom that she has been working on for the past two weeks. We went to Sears Portraits in the morning to get a black and white vintage looking portrait taken of me, mommy, Nonna and Bis-Nonna to send off to the family in Italy of the four generations of us. Cool. Then we went to Milestones for lunch and my mommy ate way too much and felt bloated all day. We got home in plenty of time for me to have an afternoon nap but I just wouldn't, and then my boyfriend Grady's mom and dad took us all out for dinner at Pasta Polo (yum) and I was all cranky there because I hadn't slept in like 12 hours. Grady and I got to play together a bit afterwards when we went to Rob and Tara's. Today daddy is going to work for the fireworks so we are staying home and my mommy is really hoping I will nap. Doesn't look like it so far though. Posted by Picasa

Blue-Grey Eyes They Change With the Colour....Change With the Sun...They Run With the Sight


Last night we visited with Zia Anna and family and everytime I looked at her, or heard her voice, I got scared and cried. She was upset and she didn't get the chance to hold me but I eventually let her talk to me and play with me a bit without crying. Just a bit though. Speaking of "great" relatives My Bis-Nonna needs open heart surgery sometime in the near future. She is 78 and my family is worried, but so far there is no date as she is still having tests done. My mommy has been trying to paint our ensuite bathroom which of course like everything else she tries to do in this house is turning into a nightmare. Paint does not stick to the walls in our bathrooms, it just peels right off which is why she had wallpapered it to begin with. Too bad she decided she hated the wallpaper and wanted to paint it. Now she remembers why she just didn't do that to begin with. Monday again, time for lots of sleep. I have had two really long naps today so mommy has had a bit more time to try and fix the bathroom. We have been home all day except for a quick trip to Home Depot and tomorrow we will stay home also. My mommy turns 29 this week and every year from now on until forever. Posted by Picasa
