I'm so sorry I haven't blogged in a while. Things have been just running at lightning speed. I have lots to tell you all but I'm just overwhelmed.
Some things good/bad/indifferent:
- Lil'A ended up with a serious Gastro-Intestinal infection. It was the worst week for our little one. Yogurt actually ended the discomfort. GO Natural remedies (suggested by my Mom and confirmed by the doctor).
- A HUGE work-bee at our house. 8 people came over (family and friends) and helped de-clutter the house. As a result, we "reclaimed" the dining room, the den/office, the guest bedroom and finished off Angela's room. Also we re-arranged the family and reclaimed the breakfast table. THANK YOU TO ALL WHO HELPED. YOUR TIME AND SUPPORT IS JUST A COMPLETE "HUG" TO US. WE WISH TO HUG YOU BACK HOWEVER WE CAN.
- I didn't get to the next level of the W Network Experts Search. Thanks for all the ratings and comments on my behalf. You did awesome. Unfortunately there were something like over 500 entries. They narrowed to 20 in that first cut. It was a long shot but I appreciate all of your votes. Every single one.
- Trying to lose weight using the Wii Fit. (It's very gradual but the weight is coming off - really gradual).
- Dealing with a teething lil'A (up at nights back like the first 6 weeks)
- I am proud to say that I sent out 30 Christmas cards all on one day. I think this is the first time I've EVER done that. I've done family before but nothing on this scale. My writing hand is cursing me. :) Hope your card arrives soon. (if you didn't get one, it's probably because I don't have your snail mail addy - email it to me).
- Rich threw his back out. It got so bad, he had to work from home for 2 days. Those of you that know Rich, know that it takes a LOT to get him to ask for help (chiro) or to take days off. We compromised to working from home. Poor guy. Walked around the house with his right hand on his back right hip. Reminded me of an "old-man" pose. :) He's on the mend I think.
- I'm singing a HUGE solo in our Christmas concert this Saturday (7.30 at gilmore park united church in Richmond). I am privileged to sing a solo over the choir for a carol written by a local composer. I've never had a solo of this caliber of choir before. I'm very honoured and also very nervous. :) I've been rehearsing for days.
I do hope to put up pics of Lil'A soon. It's just so rush-rush these days. I hope that after this weekend, things will slow somewhat. But then again, it IS the holidays...

Halloween Fun
Lil'A's first Halloween. She's a little too young to go trick-or-treating so we dressed up and waited for the kids by the door.
Lil'A got dressed up as a bumblebee. Check out her antennae sticking up. :)
This pic I snapped just as she was about to stick her hand in her mouth. She looks so "thoughtful". Needless to say the flash stopped her in mid-tracks. No hand in mouth for at least 30 seconds.
The other gal of the house was not so enthusiastic about Halloween. Oh, and then there was the cat. :) This is actually a bib that Gran gave to Lil'A but it just looked so cute on Packers. She didn't seem to think so.
Now for our pumpkins. Since Lil'A can't use knives or saws for, let's say, another 16 years, we found this Mrs. Potato/Pumpkin head. We laughed so hard when it was done.
The there is Jack...
Save the best for last. Rich had a great time with all the pumpkins but this one is his for sure. It's the revenge of the headless horseman.

Thank You ALL for Your Support
Thank you all for helping me out by voting for me on the W Network Search for the Next Expert.
Today is the day after when the Top 20 was to be informed by phone. I had to wait around for 4 days to find out. Now I know. :)
I wasn't getting my hopes up since there were 64 entries in my category and there were 6 categories. A lot of entries. If I don't put my hopes in, no disappointments after. So it is. I am relieved in some way. :)
I was just happy to have tried to try to get myself out of my shell I've been in lately and it was a great experience.
If you are ever wanted to do something but keep putting it off, bruff off that ambition and do it. It is worth with it.
Again, thank you so much for all your support electronically and in person etc... Luv you all!
