Retreatin'

I have just returned from a weekend retreat at a "Cabin"with 13 other lovely ladies.
I so relished the time away-including much good conversation while hot tubbing, sipping wine, chocolate fondue and some "chick flick" time.
I am highly recommending such a venture.
Mike took the kids to Lethbridge while I was gone. His dad took him to see Neil Young in Concert (amazing-is the report!) and kids had lots of Grandparent and friend time too. On the way home through the Crowsnest pass, the kids got to climb around on the Frank Rocks..seen below-my own little Rocky Mountain Climbing Chimps.

Drawing by Finn

A drawing Finn did in the morning of Mike and I and Finn's beloved "happy love" stuffed animal. I think it is rather great. Especially on account of my hair and Mike's absolutely PERFECT red glasses!

2 little hippies jumping on the bed!

New Word

Wren's word for Unicorns (which she was introduced to the other day ) is

"Corn Ponies".

pretty clever, says I.

Mike says-that's a great name for a band.
Funny little kids.

A Spring Makeover and other small events

On a very sunny friday afternoon last week, with nothing but SPA on the brain, my Friend Leanne and I made our way to get facials at a local woman's home. We had such a wonderful time...and ended up deciding...a little make up might be fun every once in a while.




My recently turned 4 year old has decided-getting wood is a job he likes to do. Seen here as before and after (note: kid sized working gloves!!!)


Not to be left out..her is Wrenny at a baby shower we attended last week. Also in attendance was a friend who took these beautiful shots of my Wren in action!
