Outdoor Family & Holiday Faces

Miss Mars with her Daddy, watching her sibs & I checking out the hoarfrosty morning...
Levi & I took a stroll up the street to take pics the 1st morning...

Mars makin' faces...

Levi makin' faces...

Miss Lys munching her coat...

Not so sure about this sliding thing...

But so sleepy on the way home...

And so happy on the way home...

And so smiley on the way home...

And such pretty eyes...

And such a simple look...

And warm, brown, smiling eyes...

And a cozy, thoughtful pose...

And a seemingly "ready to cross country ski" pose...

And faces of a family of five pose!

*S*N*O*W*

Back into the bush, rock, trees & snow country...or the well frozen lake country...
WOW...Mom wasn't kidding when she said it had snowed lots! Is that G'ma's House? Yes...her tiny little pump house!

Snow & hoarfrost @ the lake house...

Means means crystalized pine trees...

Some with more snow than others...

Even a little ball of snow on the post for Ford Tough Blvd to the river...

And all around the snow insulated trailer @ U. Glen & A. Wanda's...

Which also indicates many deer tracks & snowmachine trails...

And blue-hued snowed, thanks to the blue patch of sky...

A much different view out the front window of the lake house in the winter vs summer...

But it can look so beautiful with a nice NWO sunset...

Or the little trail of a...mouse?

Drive thru...Kenora

Kenora has new signs...I like...
The marina, looking a little forlorn...

Neat old Pharmasave Bldg...

Kendall House - B&B

And this just goes to show you...Mastercard is accepted everywhere...even where there appears to be nothing...just for your convenience! :)

Pics of Pics of Memories '06!

Ah Maui...I clearly remember LOVING Maui...but I forgot HOW much I loved it until I looked back at these old pics...

(Forgive the quality...these are quick pics of pics from '06-'07)
Ah, the beaches...
These lucky little stinkers are there again right now, soaking it all up! They look so little in these pics...and I guess they were - time flies!!

Little buddies playin' in the sand - December 2006

Ah...gorgeous...one of my favourite spots on the island!

More of the same...

And all the Monarch butterflies...

Ah hahahahahahaha...and this man with his HAIR SWEATER! Yes, I said "hair sweater"...that is NOT a sweater...that's all hair!

Ah, the beach sights!

I hope my sis and her 3 big boys are loving Maui for me!

(and taking some more up to date pics for me too!)

More moments from last weekend...

Miss 'Mara went strolling with her baby & her wild do...
Then she got to enjoy a lively reading of Clifford's Pals with Kris...

Then she sat mesmerized by the big kid Jacob...in the convo pit...

Then she "helped" Eva practice her song...

And then it was off to visit Talen & his parents...she checked him out...felt his soft cheeks, poked his nose, fluffled his hair, patted him on the head...and poor Talen wasn't sure what was happening to his typically tranquil house, nor who this annoying little person was...

The big boys compared their toys...

Steff kept miraculously pulling out toys...

We seem to have bumped this cutie right sideways...

Enjoying his book and looking for the "bubble"...

Aw, such great little hands and feet...and book...

And 'Mara quite willingly snuggled or hung out with Kris...and I think Kendal too.

Great fun, great pals!
