2009 Calendar

One of the goals I had for myself last year was to complete a calendar for myself. I have done many in the past, but always for gifts. This year I wanted to have one hanging in my house.

January came and went. Although I had the calendar completed, I hadn't stuck the pages on or hung it up. Last weekend I managed to find the time to finish it off and find a spot for it. I am so glad that I reached my goal.

I upload photos of each page for you to see. I added extra details to each of the month pages to go along with the layouts. This is one of four sets of these pages. I gave a calendar to my mom and dad, my sister and also to my in-laws. We visited my husbands family today and their calendar was proudly displayed in their family room.












After looking at these photos, I realized that I am missing the little icons for March.....a scrapbookers work is never done!

Welcome Maya to our Family!

After we had to put Cadbury down, we just couldn't imagine our house without a pet. Originally we thought we would get another rabbit, but then we convinced Monty we would all like a cat. He reluctantly agreed and now we have Maya!

She is only 9 weeks old and she is very affectionate. She loves to play and be cuddled. She has really taken a liking to Monty (and whether he admits it or not, he likes her too).



Maya fills the space that Cadbury left in our hearts. We miss him terribly, but somehow having her around makes it easier. I am sure they would have been best of friends.

Is It Too Soon???

Tonight I cleaned up all of Cadbury's things, washed them and put them away. Amanda just couldn't do it and it was bothering her having them there. She was out, so I thought it was a good time to take care of it.

While I was putting his things away I found myself wanting to snuggle him. He was very affectionate and he loved to be played with and held. He always enjoyed being out of his cage and when it was time to put him back you would have to chase him (not always easy) to put him in.

When I was finished I sat down and pulled up the website for the KW Humane Society to see what they had for bunnies. You won't believe what I found.


I couldn't believe my eyes. This little guy is only 2 1/2 months old and looks just like Cadbury. The only difference is that Cadbury was a Lopp and his ears flopped down rather than standing up. The website was last updated on February 3rd (which was 4 days ago) so I don't know if this little guy is still there.

My question is.....is it too soon? I really want to go and check it out. They are open tomorrow from 1-4pm. I would want to take Amanda with me. She misses Cadbury so much and I think that this would help.

I think we will go and visit tomorrow and see what happens from there. I just can't believe how much they look alike. The name on the website is Bunny. The funny thing is.....although Cadbury had a name, we rarely called him that. He was always known as Bunny!

Maybe it is meant to be?????

We Will Miss You Cadbury :(

Tonight we had to say goodbye to our family pet.....Cadbury. He developed a serious infection and there was nothing they could do.

It was a sad night and we will really miss our furry little friend.

My Trip to California With Jason........

Well, I am back from my amazing trip to Anaheim, California with Jason. I was really looking forward to traveling with him. He is a very adventurous person and I knew he would make this a true adventure.

This was his first time flying. We had to get up at 3am in order to make it to Toronto for our 7:15 departure. None of this seemed to bother him, although I am sure if I told him he had to get up this early for school he may have objected.

I really don't like the airport experience too much. Once the luggage is checked and we have gone through security it is a little more relaxing, but by the time I've done all that I feel like I need a shower. Jason, on the other hand, thought it was very cool. He thought that the security process was exciting. He wondered what they might do if they found something they didn't like. I am fine with just wondering, I don't really need to know.
