Well Dawn and her daughter when back to their home last night. I have to say it is nice to have the house to ourselves once again. Don't get me wrong I love my children but it has been a little stressful with new baby here, not that we looked after her or anything just different with noise and stuff. When you are use to the quite and being able to be on the computer when I want to, and not waiting for someone else to get off of it. Jim never goes on the computer so I usually get it most of the time.
I went for my MRI and won't see the Dr till Jan 30 so will be off work till than. I must say I am a little worried about what they will say, I know that it is in His hands but I still worry. I also redid my CPR and First Aid on Sat. so now I am good for another three years.
Hopefully will finish my ECE stuff this month, we will see.
Well that is all for now.

New member in our family
Well once again time has gone by to fast. So to update anyone who does read this, my daughter had a little girl on Dec. 10. Her name is Raign, she weighed in at 7 lbs 11oz. and was 21 inches long,and is the most beautiful baby I have seen in years. It was the most amazing thing, I know that I have had my children but seeing your child give birth was way cool.
Christmas has come and gone and it was a good year, besides having a new baby here, my other daughter was home for the first time in two years. So it was nice to have all 6 of our children home for Christmas plus the in-loves.
I am still off work for at least the rest of the month, which is fine because I plan on finishing my school for my next level of ECE. I am going for a MRI on Sat. so hope it works out ok. Well that is all for now if any thing new happens I will blog again.

6 weeks
Hard to believe that it has been six weeks since I blogged, and it has been a hard six weeks. Lets see first one of my oldest friends went home to be with the Lord on Oct 11. than a week after his funeral, his wife ended up in the hospital only to find out she has terminal cancer. So visiting her for a week everyday took its toll on me and I got sick for a week. Now I am better and she is still in the hospital. She is coming to stay with our family until she can leave to fly out to Newfoundland to stay with her daughter there.
Carol and Allan where people in my life who made a huge difference to me. When I was alot younger they help me to get off the street and see that life was worth living.
My poor dad has gone blind in one eye and the other one will go soon he says.The only thing that I know at this moment is that I am loved and will never be only because my bestfriend is with me always.
The good news is that my grandbaby will be here in less than three weeks, I can hardly wait to hold him/her and know that the world goes on.

Sad times/Happy times
a very good friend of mine went to be with the Lord and it is sad because he will be missed, but on the other hand happy as he is with the Lord. This man was a huge part of my saving grace because 35 years ago he and his wife took in a screwed up kid and loved her and showed her, she was worth something.They saved me from a life of who knows and saved me from the street.
I wish I could say all that is in my heart for both of these people. It is hard to let go even when you know that someday you will see them again. first him and now her but I know that they are both in good hands.

Family what a wonder
Well this Monday all of our children came home for supper, it was a wonderful time. There where our 6 children, three children-in- loves, and two grandsons and grandpa. Also four add ons, my husband and myself. It was loud but great. Lots of good food and company. I took a picture of the children together and the thought I had was that maybe this was the last one for along time. times change and so do people.
Our second son and his lovely wife told us that they had a special announcement. We all thought that they where having a baby but not now. They said they won the Super Natural Lottery which made my family wonder what happened,well the cool thing is they have been praying for the Lord to give them direction to what they where suppose to do in the ministry that they have been involved in the last few years. Their hearts are to serve Him wherever or however they can.Any way one of the biggest draw backs in their live is the lack of money, the funny thing is if they where to leave the country and go on a mission trip people would line up to support them.Being that they felt the Lord was calling them to stay here and do His work, it as been hard to get people to support them.They do have a few people who are but not enough, but the Lord is awesome and knows our every need. He alone knows how they have been living the last few years. Well what He did is unbelievable He laid it on someones heart to help them in a huge way and it spoke volumes to their family. Some people would call it luck, I call it way to go Lord. I am amazed at how the Lord works in our lives. I can only ask that this works in my family to draw them closer to Him who loves them more than any other.They are now debt free and can give more, save more and speak more of His love for them and everyone. I am so blessed to have witnessed that miracle for them.

cool workshops
well this last Thursday and Friday I got to go to some works shops about Socio-Cultural Influences on Maternal Depression and Attachment. I really enjoyed them. I learned alot and I also won a book on Attachment. I find it funny how the Lord does things, these workshops gave me a better understanding of what is wrong with my girls. It also gave me lots of information to give to my daughter who is having a baby.
Tomorrow our church is having a potblessing for thanksgiving and it will be different without Cathy there. Cathy went to be with the Lord last Saturday and her service was on Thursday and more than 200 people came to say good bye to her. She will be missed but we know that she is HOME waiting for us. I personally will miss her hugs.
On Monday our children are coming over for Thanksgiving and I am looking forward to having them here. I love my family and am blessed by each of them even the ones I don't see alot of.

What's new
So I went for a MRI on my knee because they(Dr) thinks I tore the cartilage in my knee when I fell.So now I am off for two more weeks until they get the results. I am trying to get my school work done and hopefully I will get it all done before I go back to work. Than I will only have to do my practicum and I will be a ECE 3. Today was a hard day for my knee as I went to physiotherapy this morning and it really hurt. I had a little cry and now have ice on it and hopefully it will feel better.
So now I am working on my homework and finding out how much it will cost me to open my own daycare.
My daughter who is having a baby came home for the weekend and we sat together on the couch and she let me feel the baby. It was very cool. She is coming home for thanksgiving, it will be nice to have us all together once again.
We went looking for a smaller house on the weekend and went to look at trailers. There sure are some nice ones out there. It was hard to look and see how big they are and so much cheaper than a house. Are we moving? Not sure we are just looking to see what is out there, as we both feel our house is to big now that all the children are moving out. Yes my oldest son is finally going his own way. I hope it works for him as we will not be able to have him move in with us as we want a smaller place.
One of my friends past away this weekend and as sad as it is, it is also a happy time. She just got baptized a month ago and found out a week after that she had lung cancer and went to be with the Lord fast. Part of me is jealous as she is there and has no more pain and can be with the One who loves her more than any other. I think when we cry we cry because we are not ready to see the person go even if we know that it is part of life. Makes me realize that life is short and we should tell all the people in our lives how much we care. We should forgive the ones who hurt us and let go and let God.
Well I am off for now to see my dad and enjoy the time I have with him. Have a great day.
