Writings from a Kootenay Korner

I cannot believe how the time flies between posts!! I have the best of intentions to get back here. Lots to say and then life sends you in another direction.

Here are two of my adorable grandsons, Aden 13 and Sammy whos 15 mths. approx. Love them to bits. Had a great visit two weeks ago with the family down on the island. It just plain went too fast though. The week was spent relaxing, a bit of shopping but not too much outside of the house trips.

Cold and freezing temps kept us housebound and playing scrabble. It was nice to spend time with the boys and I think (according to my daughter) little Sam took quite a shine to me. At least I think when he sees me next he will actually remember I am Gramma. Much more relaxed with me than his bigger brother Kale was at that age. Kale made strange and you couldn't babysit him at all.


This pic was funny because we had been trying to keep Kale from his naps and then he slept really well through the night. One afternoon he asked if he could watch a show and when i went in he was snoozing in a pillow. I took the pic and showed it to him later and his comment was "But I wasn't sleeping my eyes weren't closed" he insisted that he didn't fall asleep. Too cute!

We met up with my girlfriend Madeline several times and even spent the evening out with her friends at a lovely posh new lounge for 2 for 1 appies hour. Roasted garlic and Brie, prawns, kalamari and a few others. It was divine and my daughter felt very spoiled being out with the grownups and no kiddies in tow. It was very relaxing. My intention was to take them out to the keg (Todd included) but we just couldn't pull it all together.

Her fourth baby is due in June and I am planning to be there to help out for a week. Perhaps we can do out evening out then. With a couple of little ones, I do admit that going out is a bit of a challenge.
