I am sorry I haven't had time to write anyone lately. We have been so busy with the move. 3 more days from today! Then it will take a couple days to get everything all set up again. We are looking forward to when all things become calm around here again.If you want to check out some pictures I took, check out my fotolog . The link is on the side!

Only a week and a half until we move. There is still lots of packing to be done. We are thinking about getting Ethan into a preschool after we are all settled. He has a areal thirst for knowledge. He can count to ten ( sometimes 12 ), recognize alot of numbers and letters and lately he has been asking me to teach him how to write letters. I think it would be good for him on a socaial level as well. He really loves being around other kids. We went to story time at the Marine Science museum today and he really enjoyed that also.

My father was a man who felt things deeply, whether it be happiness, love, anger or hurt. If Wayne Gretzky scored a goal, if the Canadiens won a game, this was enough to bring him to tears.
I used to think this was silly.
I see a lot of myself in him though. Now, when Tina Turner is shown on TV, or I hear her on the radio I start ranting about how she is the queen of rock n roll and there will be no other. I stop myself and realize that I sound just like my father talking about Elvis.
I put Ethan down for his nap and I always say "Happy Nappy". Apparently my father said the same things to us when we were kids. Quite often I hear myself say something or do something that makes me stop and think" Hey, that's just like Dad."
I guess this is proof that he is still here with us everyday, in our hearts and in our minds. He lives on. It is a year today since he passed away. He is missed every moment.

We are all starting to get excited about the house. It will be great to have all this over and done with. We have some rabbits living in the back yard and neighbor's yards. We have seen them quite often when going over there. We still have lots of packing to do and getting things ready.

Things are going well here. We are all recovering from colds and busy with the move into the new house. Ethan is excited about Halloween. He is going as Tigger. I will have to take some pictures of him to post and/or send to people. We might take him to our new neighborhood to trick or treat as it could be a good way to meet some neighbors. I think we will avoid the neighbor with the pit bull, though.
Got my Cartoon network prize in the other day and this morning I got an email from Entertainment Tonight Online saying that I won the Ultimate Vacation DVD package. I believe it is the National Lampoon's Vacation movies. Oh Joy! Well at least it is something to keep my spirits up.

Well the painting is almost done now but we still have some more cleaning up to do move will be happening mid November. I can't wait. On the negative side we found out that our next door neighbor has a pit bull. I am very paranoid of this breed because I was bitten before by a crazy woman's dog. The owner appears to be a nice lady and the dog is old so I will try not to worry, but just be on cautious side. The colour paint we chose for most of the house is really very nice. It is a very light yellow and makes all the rooms sunny but not overly bright. No wins in the last few days.

Well I have been waiting for a long time to get the 2 boom boxes I won. Today the big brown truck came with boom boxes but they weren't the same ones. They were bigger more expensive machines. Apparently they had run out of them so they substituted with a Phillips CD Soundmachine with twice the ARV ( approximate retail value). Both are worth 100 bucks a piece. So I did good. In the last couple of days I won a volleyball/badminton set (ARV $40) and a Sony S2 walkman/headphones (ARV 60 big ones). .
Ethan is getting so used to this he now says "Mommy, big brown truck" every time the door bell rings.
The house was supposed to close today but it looks like it may take longer. The woman that were doing the work in the house had done a terrible job. The windows were painted shut and there were other things that were supposed to be done that were not. Hopefully it will be resolved soon.
