Happy Birthday!

Eleven years ago
today
my
life
changed
completely...
I
became
a
MOM!

A beautiful , precious baby boy came into our lives....and we have never been the same.

Born 4 weeks early...but perfect and healthy.

The best gift that was ever bestowed upon me...and i thank God every single day for

this child that has completely enriched my life...

who makes me proud...who makes me smile but especially keeps me laughing with his witty

humour.

Happy

Birthday

Samuel Vincent!!

These last eleven years

have

been

the

best

of

my

life!

Love Mom xoxo

Are first summer on Vancouver Island

Our first family vacation this summer was to Parksville. The weather was cool but still sunny.

Lovely sandy beach. Aren't the mountains in the back ground breathtaking?!

We bought Sam a "skin board" (something new to me)
he had alot of fun trying to learn it.


I think he had more fun being buried in the sand.

This week has finally warmed up on the island. Hot and sunny with no humidity just how

i like it! Back home in Ontario (and Quebec) they are all sizzling. Can't say i miss those high

temperatures in the 40's. Sam would be camping out in the basement along with the pets.

We took a trip out to Lake Cowichan.

Sam tried Kayaking and loved it.

Lake Cowichan goes on for miles it's as big as the great lakes in Ontario.

I love the way the mountains surround it.

Of course you can't go to the beach without tubing!

He's just loving this...

Wishing you all a fun weekend in the sun!

What do you dream?

What if you slept?

And what if,

In your sleep

You dreamed?

And what if,

In your dream,

You went to heaven

And there plucked

A strange and

Beautiful flower?

And what if,

When you awoke,

You had the flower

In your hand?

Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834)

I have heard it said there are endless possibilities of what we can have and doesn't

it all start as a dream?

Happy dreaming...Pamela xo

Through the eyes of a cat

If anyone has adjusted well to moving 3,000 miles to another province

it's our cat

Acoya.

Acoya is fifteen years old and you would never know

it.

He also huge which you really cannot tell

by these photos.

It is quite astonishing at how large he is. He is very

beautiful and he knows

it.

They say moving is one of life's major stresses and

they also say

that it's hard on

pets.

Since we moved here 6 months ago

i have never seen a pet

happier!

Some days i may struggle with my new province

but then i witness this cat

joyfully coming and going all day

long

like

he's always lived here.

The reason why so many of us love our pets is because they don't hold us responsible for their

own happiness. After this major move in my life i can say they really can show you the way

to joy and happiness...anywhere you live!

I don't know what i would do without my pets to help me through this transition.

Thanks for following my journey and thank you to my friends for your wonderful comments

on my Sam's first recital! You all made him very happy.
