PROUD MOMMA
Sarah plays soccer this year in the U12 section of the Pointe-Claire soccer league. She is only 10 and would of been in the U11 but since there wasn't enough players they stuck all the girls from u11 and u12 together.

FATHER'S DAY WEEKEND
We had a very busy weekend. We decided to take the children to Park Safari on Saturday. We all had a really fun time.
Park Safari is a place where you can really get close to the animals. Sarah and Mitchell both wanted to take my new car, since you drive through one part, and the animals come right to the car. They thought it would be really fun to have the animals that close, but...I stuck my ground (since I had already been there) and we took the van. Thank goodness is alllll I can say!!!! They slobbered...they had horns and rubbed against the van...and at least with the van we had a place to hide...lol Take a look at the pictures...lol
I took everyone out for brunch on Sunday to celebrate Father's Day. We went to Portavino. VERY yummy!! There is anything and everything you could ever imagine to eat. The kids loved the chocolate fountain;)
After we had brunch, we were invited to Mitchell's Aunts for a BBQ...we looked like we could of been rolled out of her place...hehhee
Mitchell and Nick...having a father/son moment.
It was nice to celebrate as a family.
Even my little birdie ate ALOT...lol We look like we are both ready for a nap...hehehe
PARK SAFARI PICTURES
Sarah loves the camera her Nana bought her for Christmas..she took most of these pictures. The Bears practically waved at us..they were just sooo cute.
The tigers and lions were so pretty...they have a tunnel that is made of plexi-glass and the lions sit on them...you are able to touch and see just how big their paws are compared to your hands.
I was making Sarah laugh that this statue had me by the leg. Mitchell couldn't resist the picture.
As you can see the animals come right to your car. It doesn't help when Nick kept making them come to my side...especially the big --slobbering ones!! lol
The children couldn't stop laughing..and the screams from the back seat...it was so much fun!
My two favorite animals of alll:)))) 
The animals can get pretty aggressive though...they knew we had food..and wouldn't let us drive on until most of it was gone.

HOMEWORD BOUND
Sarah and I went to New Brunswick the long weekend in May. We actually played hooky from school and took two extra days;) We left Friday, May 16Th and arrived Saturday afternoon. I decided to go as far as Edmonston and stay the night....GOOOOOd choice!! When we got back on the road Saturday we saw 4 moose! We first saw a little guy strutting his stuff in the middle of the road. We honked...and for a good ten minutes, followed him up the road. Then we came upon another three. We laughed so much since our cameras were packed in the back of the van and couldn't get to them on time to take some pictures!
When we did arrive, we were back in the car heading to the Bay for some tasty red things!! Actually, they are green before you cook them. YUP...we had lobster every day we were home...lol. We had lobster Saturday with butter, lobster omelette's on Sunday morning, lobster pasta sunday night....AND...lobster and steak monday night! What a treat!!
We were fortunate enough to get to Bathurst for the day on Monday. We had the chance to check out Dad and Ginette's work in progress:) Great job guys! And also we got to spend some time eating cookies and fudge with Nana "O" and Papa Lou Lou.
I am always sad when I go back to Bathurst since most times there is always a huge change. This time one of the restaurants were closed. It does make me sad to see such changes, but it is my place of birth and will always be my "home".
Sarah and I took on a project while we were visiting Nana. We decided that the huge tree in the back should have bird houses hanging. So we painted some houses and hung them. We had so much fun, even Nana got into it. Sarah, when we arrived back in Montreal, made me buy more so when we go back this summer we can keep adding to tree. 
We left on the wed. (may 21st) to come back to Montreal. It was difficult to leave, it always is. I enjoy so much having my morning coffee with my mom. Shopping...and doing the girl thing with two of my favorite people--my daughter and my mother. I love the after supper talk in the living with Hubie and staying up late watching TV with them.
I realize at times...I am very lucky to be living close enough to be able to drive, unlike my two sisters who live so far away (and are missed very much) but even saying this, it can feel like the other side of the world at times.
I will be going back this summer to spend some time gardening with my mom--going to the beach with Dad and Ginette...and enjoying the life of a maritimer----there isn't anything like it:) SEE YOU ALL SOON

WINDOWS!!!!!!!!
We were very excited to show up at the house and see that they have put in the windows and finished tiling the roof. Since this picture was taken, our garage door has also been put up and the stairs have been poured:)
They have also framed my tub!! I was soooo excited about this that Nick had to take my picture...I tried to be serious, but I was bursting!! The light that we will get in the rooms is just awesome. If we have alot of company at the same time...the bath tub could double as a bed...hehehehe

MOTHER'S DAY
My Mother's Day was sooo perfect!!
Sarah was dropped off here on Sunday morning. We all went out for breakfast, went out to the house (took some more pictures-hehhee), the kids made me lunch, and then Nick took alllll his women out for dinner. We went to Le Sirene de la mer. Words just doesn't do this place justice! You get to choose your own fish....and they cook it the way you want. It was simply beautiful. Nick also had bouquets of roses for his mom, his aunt, and of course me:) He never misses a detail. Unfort. we didn't get any pictures of the night since Sarah was too busy eating her yummy dessert...lol
The kids made me lunch. It was Fajatas...they did a really great job...except for the mess to clean up afterwards...hehehe

TISS' THE SEASON
I really have to share what we did last night.
We went to Dairy Queen for our first visit of the summer! It just so happens that DQ is just down the road from our new house. Happiness Issssss!!!
But I just have to share with you a comment made in the car.
Sarah is sitting quietly in the back of the van, eating her coffee crisp blizzard, when all of a sudden she says "Momma, philly says they are a little piece of heaven--nope...it's Dairy Queen". She is sooo my daughter! lol
Every time we go home to New Brunswick we always make it a point to hit the local Dairy Queen down the road from my parents place. These pictures were taken last summer when we were home. We will be going home for the long weekend (May16-21) and most likely we will hit DQ while we are there, and I can't wait!!

PROGRESSING
Last Wednesday we went to take a look at the progress on the house. We were very pleased not only to see a hole, but also the foundation was put in:)
Let me tell you...when we showed up on Friday to see THIS, we were even more pleased!! Most of the walls are up....the roof will be next. We went on Saturday to give our final order for the brick and roof tiling. Next weekend we have an appointment for the final decision on the ceramic in the main bathroom upstairs. The other bathrooms, Nick has decided to do himself.
The children were so excited. They climbed, and laughed...they really can't wait to move in.
Sarah was making a joke here about the size of her room. Nick told her maybe he will ask the contractor not to put her roof on, to make it look bigger...lol
Sarah checking out where her room will be.
Our sign-over date is for the 1st of August. We would like to be moved in before the children start back to school at the end of August. This is all just very exciting for all of us:)
