Old Fashioned Entertainment

Call me lame. Call me a sixty-year-old living in a young adult's body, but I think it's just wonderful to watch the birds play outside our living room window. A few weeks after we moved into our home I noticed we had some Blue Jays visiting once in a while. Not long after, I purchased a hanging bird feeder. Since then, it has been a joy to watch the cute little birds come and feed in the mornings while I drink my java. But, I have yet to get some shots of the beautiful Blue Jays!

Meet Baby Ethan


"Every new born baby is God’s opinion that the world should go on."

"A newborn baby is a cheque made payable to the human race."











Meet my adorable, handsome nephew Ethan Feilberg. At ten months, he is so precious and I am so proud of my brother and his wife as wonderful new parents. I figured I just had to put pictures of Ethan up on the blog, because babies are the most beautiful pieces of nature's puzzle. They melt your soul with their big bright eyes and soft giggles.

The Christmas Tree Hunt

"Feelings change, memories don't."

Joel Alexander

Now that the snow is here (and I think to stay), it's finally become reality that Christmas is just over a month away! I've started listening to Christmas tunes, crafting Christmas cards, and will soon begin baking Christmas cookies. But, one of my favourite memories of Christmas with my family is finding the perfect Christmas tree and spending time together decorating its branches.

Unfortunately, I have to wait for a bit yet because we are going to find ourselves a real tree, like we always do, and they don't last that long in the house once they are brought in. But, the SMELL is worth the wait! There's nothing like the smell of a pine or spruce in your house during the holidays.

So, since I have to wait a few weeks until our Christmas tree hunt, I figured I'd put up some pictures I took before the snow fell of some beautiful spruce needles.

Our Shadow


I couldn't resist but to dedicate this blog post to our new little fur-friend, Shadow. She is just so precious, I had to put some pictures of her up on the blog. She is the cuddliest kitten I have ever seen and loves attention! Her name is Shadow, but we often call her Shady Lady!
