Christmas is coming!

All the signs that Christmas is right around the corner are upon us. Days are shorter, it's getting dark earlier, horrible traffic, crowded stores, school concerts, busyness at work...all mean that Christmas will be here before you know it.
Last night we went to see our kids school concert. It was a wonderful feeling to be able to sit in the audience and see "both" of our kids in the concert. It was almost like a date night for Marc and I. They were fabulous. Hannah looking so confident and in control, Ben looking happy and like he was thoroughly enjoying himself. Here are a few pictures of the night.


A couple of weeks ago the kids got to decorate their Christmas tree in the play room. Every year they enjoy doing this and this year was no different. I bought some new decorations and with those along with their favourites, I have to say this is my favourite "kid" tree yet. Take a look.

My Special Little Guy

Before Benjamin was born I often wondered what it would be like to have a son. Would I have the same connection that I had with Hannah? Would I be able to relate to him? I'm sure it's something all mothers wonder about. Well, almost six years later and I have to say that my Ben is a wonderful little guy. Yes, he's a mama's boy and he has me wrapped around his little finger. I love him so much and some days I find myself just watching him. What an imagination! What a personality! What a sensitive spirit! I am so blessed to be his mom!
