Family Friday



We had my in-laws visiting over the weekend.

My father-in-law treated us all to dinner on Monday night

and even invited my mum.

Joe's mum is on the left and mine is on the right. 


I placed a woolen quilt on the bottom of our bed

and Tucker has made it his new favorite place for napping.

Well, one of them anyway. He's got a few little napping spots around the house. 

I secretly wish I could nap as often as he does. 


Saturday my mum and I went up to visit Bonnie and Dan and the kids.

My daughter, Hannah was there as well. 

We were celebrating Bonnie's birthday which was Monday.

Verne absolutely loved the candy cake I got.

We had to pry him away from it and he was not happy.


Little miss Abigail Rose has her days and nights mixed up.

We were given all kinds of permission to wake her up

because they are trying to get her to sleep a bit longer at night.

At only just 3 weeks old she's still pretty sleepy though.

I had to be quick to get this photo of her eyes open. 


Joe and I stopped at the fish market on Sunday and picked up some fresh Cod.

I cooked it simple with lemon, dill and a dusting of bread crumbs.

We got the table set in the kitchen and sat down with his parents

for a lovely and intimate dinner.

    It's so nice when in-laws enjoy each other's company. Your mom and MIL look like they are having a good time. Abigail Rose is a beauty, and I love her name:)

    Aww how nice to spend time with family. Abigail Rose is a lovely name for a lovely baby. Hopefully she'll sort out day and night soon though I'm sure the new parents will be lacking sleep for a while!

Abby and Hopie time

  ~ ~ ~ Abby and Hopie go to the beach. On Saturday my granddaughter, Abigail, asked if she could come to her Hopie's house all by herself. Of course, I said I would love that! Her older brother, Verne, wanted to go to a friend's house and her younger sister, Natalie, is too young to be away from mum for an overnighter. So...it was me and Abigail for the weekend. She wanted to stay 2 nights! I think she may have been slightly motivated by the need for some alone time and Natalie's late night crying. ~ We cooked homemade cornmeal waffles together for breakfast. When your grandmother is a Montessori teacher you learn to cut your waffles up by yourself. You can see the concentration on her face.  I didn't help at all! Verne's first day of Kindergarten! I drove up in the morning to watch him get on the bus! He loves it! On Monday morning Abigail and I drove back up to her house. My daughter, Hannah, came over with delicious donuts and Bonnie made a breakfast of bacon, s

a basket from the farmer's market

  A basket from the farmer's market. When I was a child my mum always had a fruit basket on the kitchen table.  Fruit was always an option if we were hungry at any time during the day. I had the same when my children were young and I noticed while visiting my daughter last week that she had a basket of apples on her table for her children. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree... I tend to put a basket of vegetables on the table as well.  Root veggies mostly since they don't need to be refrigerated.  I think that they look beautiful and why should fruit have all the fun! My favourite part is that everything (even the basket) came from the local farmer's market. It's so important to support local farmers.

On the table

 ~ ~ ~ A bit of reading material.  I've been collecting books again... I've almost finished Think Indigenous.  My daughter bought it as a gift for me but decided to read it first. She loved it so much it took her a bit to part with it. I am loving it as much as she did and have put it down almost all the way through  because I don't want it to be over.  Macro tex
