2013...Looking Back

 The years fly by entirely too fast. Life is a kaleidoscope of  emotion and experience. Here are a few of my favourite things from the past year that never made their own post. In no particular order:

A  priceless note written by my sweet Grand Daughter about the people in her life. 

Here is the translation:

'My NaN likes To boke.' 

{Her Nan is a professional caterer and baker} 

'MY GraMe likes To Do KrAfs.'{that would be me}

 'MY MOM Wrks at the Farms MAke'. 

{Her Mom orchestrates and runs a Farmers Market.}

 'I have A AnTee ThaTs A GooD AnTeem'. 

{She has an aunt that is a good aunt to her, hint, she has blue hair}

Love this photo of our two youngest

...love those girls

We are a FAE family

I spent some time checking under the toad stools around the fairy rings...but still not fairies.

I managed to scrapbook some old photos, look at that hair?

Gabe was just a baby in this one too !

and he lost his first tooth at our house this year

...well, Grandpa helped

Both of the older daughters moved into new homes

{Mom and Dad helped a LOT!!} 

I could wait a long time before I haul another loaded dolly up a flight of stairs. Do you think when we are too old to live independently they will move us?...

Congratulations to our second oldest who ran a brilliantly 

planned and executed campaign for city council. 

She won a seat. She will be an asset to Airdrie City council for sure!!

Aunty Phyllis turned 81

 and 

Santanna turned 18

 on the same day!

How much fun am I going to have 

scrapbooking that one ?

It hasn't all been wonderful sometimes life gave us HUGE onions, so we had some tears.

The kids are all growing up. I just can't seem to get a single photo with everyone in it.

 So, minute by minute, hour by hour, day to day,

 we take the good, the bad, the easy, the hard and we build a life.
