Happy belated birthday to you Katrina, I'm sorry I didn't leave you a birthday wish on your special day. I love you and hope all your dreams are made a reality. You are a beautiful little lady and I hope to get to know you better one day. Love you lots.

Our new addition

We have rescued a puppy her name is Jazmine, we call her Jaz. Dan went to Belleville to pick her up with Oli and his mom. After getting her they went down by the river Moira to let them out for a min. At this time we only had one leash and since Oli is good and never runs Dan put the new puppy on the leash and let Oli loose. Oli saw some geese and went running after then not listening to Dan or Jo-anne yelling at him to stop. He began stopping just short of the water's edge but the ice was slippery and Oli slid right into the river. He began swimming hard but the current is strong and the water frigid this time of year so Oli was loosing the battle and was pulled under. Dan then jumped in to save our poor pup. He also had a hard time in the water as he said it feels like sharp needles piercing him. They got out of the water thank God and dried off and home safe. So now we have two puppy's Jaz and Oli, and they are in love already and she is precious. Being a rescue pup she lived with lots of other animals because she was abandoned by her previous owners and rescued from the pound, so she is quirky and kind of strange, but she is learning and is happy in our home. Here are some pictures of our new family.

2nd Christmas

We had our 2nd Christmas Dan his mom Jo-Anne Kassy and I on the 23rd evening. I didn't want to make a traditional dinner as we had just had turkey a month ago. So I made Loster, scallopped potatoes and grilled jumbo shrimp for dinner with a scallop apple salad on the side, Dan made appitizers of escargot, shrimp ring and bread dippers and mussels. MMMM....was it ever delicious. We had a full lobster on each plate which was pretty and it tasted so good. We opened up presents and had a fun relaxing time. Loved it.

Christmas

We just had a wonderful time at Dad's and Jaana's place this past weekend. Marieanne and Devin came up from Toronto and Dan Kassy and I were able to spend time with our loving family. It's becoming tradition to go to Dad's gym and take the kids swimming as we've now done that 3 years in a row. Dad and Jaana spoiled us a bit this year, they are very sweet and they made us all feel special, so thank you Dad and Jaana for that. We love you guys and really appreciate everything you did for us. Dinner was amazing and playing Taboo was quite fun as well. Pictures will be posted soon.
