lawthed a tooth!!!

Ezra lost her 1st tooth on Monday! She has been waiting months now for this to happen....its been wiggly since the summer! Just last week she said "what's so great about having a wiggly tooth anyways?" She felt like she was the "only one" in her class that hadn't lost a tooth yet!
Anyways, it's gone, she's happy and cuter than ever!!
My baby girl is growing up!!!


















The note that Ezra wrote to the tooth fairy....
Dear Tooth Fairy I would love (heart) a toy instead of money. Can I please keep my tooth? Love Ezra

The past TWO MONTHS...

I can't believe that I haven't written on this blog for two whole months!! In the mean time what have I been doing? I've been busy starting other blogs that I of course haven't been keeping up with either! In total, I now have 5 blogs!

Click to bring you to the blog:
1) PAUSE IT
2) LISA WESTERMAN PHOTOGRAPHY
3) MARVELOUS LIGHT PROJECT
4) ME, MY GOD & MY CAMERA
5) HOME SWEET HOME

So from checking out those places you'll see what I've been up to! Also I took the kids to Hamilton from Jan 17th - Jan 27th. We had a great time!!!

Also this past week I had an interview with WestJet. I was so excited to have heard from them and that they were interested in my application. And although the fly benefits are amazing....after much soul searching I have decided that if offered the job, I don't want to take it! I want to be home for the kids...I want to be as available as possible to my family! I wouldn't want to do the 3 week training in Calgary, missing a visit with my in-laws, Easter with my family and Matthijs' 4th birthday...not a chance!!! Not to mention...the possiblity of having to work 20hrs a week - not excluding holidays!!! So I'm so glad that I have my decision and I'm prepared IF asked to take the job!

I am on the way to having a home daycare...hopefully starting by March. I only want to run the daycare Mon-Wed and with no more than 3 children. I have 2 lined up so far and a potential 3rd. This will be a great way that I can stay at home, be available to my sweeties and make a bit of extra money! I am also hoping to focus more on photography...hopefully making a in-home studio up sooner than later!! That way my business can run year round!

Anyways, the kids are begging for breakfast...perhaps I should do something about that!

Here are some pictures of the last month or so.....

Feeding the deer, up close and personal at Mission Island March....so much fun!!!
