Pay it Forward :O)

Kim, Daniel, Beau, Tucker, Savannah and I were to go to Disney on Ice tonight. We figured out all our plans and arrived at the arena in decent time. We were to get our tickets from a guy from Down Syndrome association but he wasn't there. Upon calling he said it was for tomorrow. The kids were a bit disappointed but we left and decided to go get some supper. As we were leaving the parking, we decided to give our parking pass to someone. Kim and I were happy to let someone have it since we just paid for it and didn't need. Happily we left.

Fast Forward - We decided on Swiss Chalet as it was Kids Night and the Balloon Lady was there. All the kids got balloon animals and we enjoyed supper. As we were getting the kids ready to leave and we left cash for the bill. The waitress came up and said that someone paid for our bill. We asked who and a couple a little ways away took our bill. We were so shocked as we didn't know them. We all went to say thank you and we gave them some Tim Horton's certificates as a thank you. We were so blown away and we were telling the kids "Wow isn't that awesome that God sent this couple to us and how God provides" putting big smiles on our faces. When we got to the van our CD was on the song "Awesome God". Sure gave me chills at how God just works everything for good.

Maybe I will be able to post some pictures tomorrow and hopefully we get a chance to see Disney on Ice

Playtime

I finally downloaded some pictures and videos

the hard way (without Mark's help). So here

are a few pictures of the kids having a

"sleepover" in the boys room.

This first 30 second video is Carsten singing nicely this time and Savannah not to thrilled about it. The second is Savannah singing Twinkle Twinkle by herself.

Amazing!!!

I saw this yesterday on my Baby Center Bulletin Board and then saw this article in the London Free Press today. I felt the need to share this. I really don't see how anyone can argue that God is here and His amazing creation in all of us. Here is a link to the story www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17237979/ Yesterday there was a video too

What a Day!

At least it is the happy sick kid this time. Carsten woke up this morning saying he was going to throw up. After a few times, he proceeded to say his throat hurt too and he had a headache. My guess was strep throat as that is the only time Carsten won't eat and says he has a headache. So off to the doctor we went late this morning and he acted like he was fine. Made me think I shouldn't have taken him. But sure enough he has strep throat. We are pumping the medicine into him and hopefully he'll be able to go to school.

While Carsten was throwing up...Alex tried out his new phone by calling Kim this morning at 6:30 am!!! Alex kept saying, "someone wants to talk to you Carsten, someone wants to talk to you Carsten". We were like, "WHO are you talking to?"
Kim wasn't working and boy did we yelp for him to get off the phone so she could go back to sleep. Thankfully Kim was really good about it all.

A Video for Aunt Melissa

Aunt Melissa droppped by yesterday to visit and give Savannah her birthday present. Since Savannah wasn't here, we said we'd video her opening it up. My camera only takes 30 second videos so there are 2. Without further ado, here ya go.





Thankfully the kids are playing quietly now ;o) Savannah says, "Thank you!"

Bus is Cancelled

The bus is cancelled this morning and since I have no vehicle...my boys are blessed with a "snow day". They are a bit bummed because it is Valentine's Day and they can't hand out their valentines and have their little parties. Maybe we can whip something up to make it a bit better.

I have got the nasty cold that has been flying around. I must admit I can't stand it when I'm sick because things just don't run smoothly. The sore throat, coughing, stuffy, running nose, sore ears is driving me nuts. Add in kids that don't want to be home and it is making for a fun day. I just hope that the kids don't get sick now. Hope you are having a better day all.

Happy 2nd Birthday Savannah!!!

Well this is now the 5th time I am attempting to post this - anyone else having issues lately? We celebrated Savannah's 2nd birthday this weekend and all the way till yesterday. On her birthday she got a phone call from Dora the Explorer wishing her a happy birthday. Yesterday we had a party with some of her friends. After a Carebear themed party we had supper at McDonalds. The cake turned out pretty good and Savannah was a bit scared of her candles. Here are some pictures from the last few days.

Happy Birthday Savannah!!!

Wow...my baby girl is 2 today. Seems like time has flown by. Here a few pictures of her. I hope to post some birthday pictures later.

Two weeks old

One year

Not quite 2

AWESOME GOD!!!

Here are the kids belting out one of their favourite songs! (You might want to turn down your volume.) We were on our way to McDonalds - they were just in a praising mood. Our singers for the ride were Carsten, Tucker, Beau and Savannah (yup she sings it too, if you can hear hear her over Carsten). Thanks Jannyne for telling me how to post them.
