Been a while

Well it's been pretty busy around here what with Christmas coming and all. Haven't had much time to post but I keep on trying. Went to Louise's Xmas party in Brighton last Saturday and so I thought I would post a few pics. It was a good time and unlike last year the drive back was not horrific. That drive was through sleet and slush, need I tell you it was 'white knuckle' all the way. This year we had planned to get a hotel room if the weather turned bad, but there was no need as it was a dry (colddddd)night and we got home in record time. Anyway the house was full of kids and us 'grown ups' and then (low and behold) Santa showed up... again. LOL. Everyone got a nice gifty and we all had to sit on Santas lap again (I think I am going to put on 100 lbs or so for next year so I won't have to, no offence Santa)

We also met Lucas' new foster parents and they seem very nice, cute couple with a tiny baby too. (Victoria, Brad and baby Ky)

Anyway here are a few pics...

BTW these are just a few pics, actually the ones I was supposed to send to Elicia (sp?) I will post more later if I get around to it.

Santa Clause Parade

Well my two daughters and my wife were in the Santa Claus Parade today. It was pretty good except for trying to leave afterwards. :) They were marching with the Girl Guides and looking cute as buttons. Nana also went along for the walk and they had a great time. Me and my little man push Grandad up the road in his wheelchair to watch the festivities. Unfortunalty Jake wanted to sit on my shoulders the whole time so I have a crick in my neck now. All in all a great day and lots of fun for the kids. Nana goes home tomorrow after giving me and the wife a night out to ourselves on Saturday night. Thanks NANA. We went out to dinner (nobster) and then xmas shopping, nothing too exciting but it was nice to get out and not have to get a table for 6 and have to use the elevators in the mall. We did miss the wheel chair parking tho. LOL

Anyway a few pics from the parade follow, oh and I forgot to mention they all got on TV as Rogers was there to film the parade. YAY!

Writing news and new blog

Yes I have done some writing. Although I am still sick, I did a bit the other day and I am doing some re-writes and editing today. Slowly but surely (don't call me Shirley!) it is coming along.

Need a new name for my book tho... not happy with the currenty one.

So I have started a new Blog for this Writing Log. This blog will now revert to what it started out to be, a little bit of good news and some pics of what me and my family have been up to. The Writing Log will continue over at writeclubs.blogspot.com so I hope you head over there for a look see. But don't forget to come back here.

TTYL

Flu: i know its no excuse but thats the deal... sorry

WRITING day two.. (yes I know I missed day one)

Okay well I was sick yesterday and didn't write anything. Not a great start, but things can only get better. Tonight I wrote just over half a page. I have started working on the end of the book as I am stuck where I actually left off. It seems to be going okay, a slow start but thats pretty much what I expected.
Well, thats all I have to tell you.
Write On.... LOL

WTFIWWM

Okay so today brings about a change in what I am doing with this blog. (your probably saying "like you have been doing anything with this blog lately anyway!" and of course you are correct. sorry again... :( my bad)
Anyway, long story short I have been writing, or should I say 'not' writing a book since.... well... um.... let say the 90's and leave it at that. Actually it is almost finished but my innate laziness and fear of success has prevented me from doing any serious work on it since about 2000.
So from now on my blogs (hopefully daily) will simply describe how much writing I have done (or not done) in a feeble attempt to embarrass myself into finishing the darn thing.
Its called the Guardian, for now, but as I really do want to be a writer and publish the darn thing i can't tell you anymore than that.
This will probably be really boring for you all, it is a good thing nobody reads this blog. LOL
Anyway wish me luck!

Well that was a quick summer. :) LOL
Okay I have been realllllllly bad about posting on here but we did so much over the summer I didn't find the time. We went all over S. Ontario and ended the summer with a trip to Orlando FLA and Disney World. Unfortunatley WDW was a big disappointment and we will NOT be returning anytime soon. But everything else was good so I am putting on my happy face and grinning in spite of Walts Disney Mess.

Anyway perhaps I will post some summer pics next time but for now how about a few First Day of School Pictures... Starring Jacob!

Looking a little nervous...

Classic eyes closed pic :)

Happy with Mum :)

He did great and LOVES school. Hopefully that will last ;). And yes I realize these pics are late too but hey at least I put them up.

And if you came her from facebook... GOOD ... I'm tired of being the only one that ever reads this thing!!

PS Syndey also loves school and Maddy (or Madi or Maddi depending on her mood) is a bit overwhelmed but seems to be adjusting to middleschool quite well.

Later TG
