I'm Moving My Blog
Yep...I'm moving my blog. I was just browsing the web the other day for something a little different, with settings allowing me to post larger images. I just don't know that this blog is doing my images justice. I want everyone to be able to view them just a little larger...to get better perspective and let those images tell the story vividly. And if you are using Bloglines to follow your favourite blogs, you will have noticed how much smaller my images are than other peoples.
So, this will be my last entry here. Come visit me at my new blog at www.jakal-photographyblog.com. :)
For today and tomorrow...smile,

Family First
I sooo have not been keeping up with my blogging lately...and I apologize to my readers. We quite literally are just getting rid of an awful flu that has been cycling through our household for the past 2 and a half weeks. This weekend however, we are all feeling much better and it just so happens that I didn't have any shoots scheduled this weekend.
It's not very often that I have an entire weekend off, so I've just been enjoying it with my hubby and the kids. We had a date night on Friday, while the kids stayed with a sitter. We went to see "When in Rome" at the cinema (which I LOVED, but not too sure what he thought...lol) and then out for a late dinner at the Keg. It's nice to spend some time alone without the kids on occasion, as it happens so rarely.
Then yesterday, after we slept in, we had a big breakfast, made crafts, played seamstress (I'll have to take some pics of Kiki in her new dress soon to show you.), went tobogganing at Grandpa McCowan's farm and then home for hot chocolate. For supper we feasted on chili and garlic toast, before our big movie night with the kids..."Stuart Little". :)
Today, we slept in again (YAY!...even though 7:30 is our version sleeping in), had some breakfast, did some more crafts, we're still hanging out in our jammies and playing dolls. :) This afternoon we're going to take the kids skating and just enjoy some more family time. What a FABULOUS weekend.
Anyway, can't make a post without a photo. So, here's one of my family having fun tobogganing yesterday! :)

Happy Birthday My Precious Princess
Wow...her birthday was over a week ago now and I have been so caught up in the craziness of family life, that I totally forgot to blog it...booo....such a terrible Mommy to forget to blog such an important event in my daughter's life. You see...we've been battling a bit of a virus running through our household for the last week and a half, so it's been a bit nuts. Even on her birthday, her brother wasn't feeling well, so I only got to snap a couple of shots. Hopefully we're on the mend now though.
This year Kiki was so excited to be having a birthday...counting sleeps before she would be six years old. Then finally when her birthday arrived, it was like she was glowing with magical pixie dust...floating around as if it was the most important day of her life. And for her, it probably was. :) Every year on her actual birthday, we have a mother-daughter day and I never know what to plan. We always used to take a trip to London to go out for lunch and catch a movie. But, after last year when it stormed on her birthday....well I didn't want her to be disappointed again.
So, this year I booked an appointment at the "Serene and Tranquil Spa" in Clinton for us to go and have a manicure and pedicure (and left my camera at home...crummy...what was I thinking). Kiki loved it, but talked Lindsay's ear off while she painted her nails...lol. It was cute though. Afterward, we went and purchased trinkets for her gift bags for her party. Then we went out for lunch at Bartliff's Bakery...where Kiki ordered her favourite....grilled cheese and hold the fries. Then we came home for a movie (which I'd purchased for her birthday) and popcorn.
She loved it. And I loved it...spending a day with My Precious Princess...focusing solely on her for the entire day. :)
