Xmas Morning 2009




Mei Le carefully (with LOTS of tape!) wrapped up her jewelry box to give to Ebba!


Sparkly shoes!


Great hats from Auntie Rosann & Uncle Sheldon!

Catching Up - Pre-Xmas 2009


Can't believe how the time has FLOWN by! I have been most delinquent at keeping up on the blog. Those of you that are on Facebook may have seen some more recent pictures - but will try to update here. Let's start with some pre-Xmas pics!
Yule party @ my mom's:

Mei Le's school pageant:

Pageant @ Ian's church - she was a camel! (Can't you tell?? And yes - that's a hand towel, shaped with elastic bands into a camel head. I was fairly proud of it!)

All FOUR Sisters!

Ian's twin daughters, Margaret (L) and Vera (R) were home for a few weeks this August - it was their first meeting with Ebba. Here are all four girls!

At the Fair (August 2009)

Mei Le showing her calf in the pre-4-H class; brother-in-law Robin stands guard.



Mei Le's entry in the children's art class: What agriculture means to me. The picture is of her on her pony, Peanut.


The mandatory pony ride - even tho we have one at home!



Watching the puppet show:


Playing in the corn - irresistible!


More calf showing - here, Mei Le helps her big sister, Vera, show in the Open Show.


Mei Le with her Pug, Gus, in the pet show. His trick was to "get the cookie." He succeeded. They placed third.


Summer Pics - "White is Nice"




In August, our local fair has a photo competition, and each year I throw my hat in the ring with a few of my faves. Each year, one class is simply a colour - allowing photographers to enter whatever photo is inspired by or features that colour. This year's colour class was: "White is Nice". So, I grabbed a few metres of tulle left over from my step-daughter's wedding last year and took the girls out for a photo shoot in the back yard. This is a selection of my faves ... and I loved the irony of my two non-Caucasian daughters being featured in this class. Sadly, we only got third place.







This is the one I selected to enter:
