Where's Loudon?
Remember being small enough to do this?

Cookies for a Playground!

As most of you know, I have a huge interest in China adoption. I have been following many blogs for a couple of years now. A family in Cornwall, PE (just outside Ch'Town), who adopted a child, Alyssa, a few years ago, are now fundraising to help out with the Chinese orphanage where Alyssa came from. One of thier projects is to have a children's carnival to raise money for a playground for the children still at the orphanage. I will be making fancy decorated cookies for sale at the carnival and all the proceeds will be donated. I'm also donating my time to make a fancy cake for any occasion. People will bid on a certificate that they can redeem when they need a cake. If you'd like to read more, and see some pictures, you can go to http://www.twohomesoneheart.blogspot.com

It's Spring!!!

Hmmm...how am I going to keep Brennus from picking the flowers?

Diggin' in the dirt and hangin' out...two brothers.

Loudon climbing the tree (in Mark and Julia's yard!)

Brennus and Loudon jumpin' in a puddle and trying to enjoy the last mound of snow. We have been enjoying a couple of days of spring-like weather. Tomorrow is going to be very warm and sunny. I will be happy to get out the sunblock and put away the mittens!

My Cameras are Broken!

Okay, I have 2 digital cameras and they both broke within a day of each other. The lens on my good camera will not come out. The motor just keeps running and whirring, but it's stuck in there. It must be jammed. AND the flash for taking stills using the video camera is not working so the pics are all coming out too dark. So, my only option is to post mpegs from the video camera while I get the other camera fixed- which could take a while. Be prepared to see a lot of vids in the next few weeks.
On another note, I just started checking on the stats from the blog and I can see who's been looking at it according to location. But what was really interesting, is that there were people from China and the UK who have looked at it too. How neat!!

Shoveling Coal

Loudon and Brennus shoveling coal.

We didn't do much all week. After the big Easter Storm, we had lots of snow and then last Friday we had another storm and more snow. The schools and most businesses were shut down. But we tried to enjoy it while it was warm and sunny. The boys certainly enjoyed it.

Playing in the Snow!

Mommy and her boys.

Brennus was wiped out!

Gettin' a Drink...

Oh, this made me giggle. He's so proud of himself after every drop. By the time his thirst was quenched he was soaked to his feet. Sooooo cute!

Making an Easter Cake with Grandma.

Loudon and Grandma made this Easter Cake when we were in Cape Breton. Yes, Loudon is eating candy before bed!

Chocolate Slippers??

I guess Easter is Coming...

Some Easter Fun!

Loudon and I started getting ready for Easter today. I blew out some eggs and here's Loudon washing them inside and out and then decorating some.

Some outdoor photos: hammering.

Is it April yet?

It certainly doesn't feel like April yet. It has been cold and there is still snow on the ground, so it's not time to put away the hats and mittens just yet. I've been trying to post some new pictures but for some reason, I can't. I'll keep trying.
