Tuesday, July 24, 2007
I am so extremely pumped!!!! I just received the news this evening that I was selected as one out of four to be on the design team for Rhubarb Roots scrapbooking store. I love this store, and this has been a goal of mine, so this news was like Christmas to me..lol. Thank You ladies for giving me this opportunity. I will not let you down.

Goodbyes

Monday, July 23, 2007. Today We had to say goodbye to Curt & cindy as this is to be our last time seeing them before they head back to B.C. tomorrow. I am experiencing sadness with this, as Silas & I have a real bond with them, they are such postitive people that being around them helps to take our mind off of certain things, and they are just soooo much fun to hang out with. I also really love to see the bond that has developed even greater between Silas & them. He has so much love for them, and vice versa. We really appreciated that they made time to do things with Silas, and that is something that he will always treasure.I shed many a tears with this goodbye, and I can not wait to see them again at some point.

Frustration...

is what I have been feeling. I hate going through a "messy divorce" I thought Rob & I had overcome an obstacle by learning to communicate without being in a relationship, but apparently not. I hate that I am in constant contact with my lawyer as a way to contact Rob. I hate having to distract my child from the fact that he does not have a stable father figure in his life....grr!!! Just had to vent.

Something about this picture just pulls at my heart strings. These are my 2 favorite guys. My son and my Dad. And I love to see the special bond that these 2 have. They seem to understand each other, and really connect. My Son sure adores his Poppa. Every thing he wants to do he asks if he can do that when he is a poppa. I think it is so cute how when he grows up he wants to be just like his Poppa..accountant and all.

Happy early birthday Cindy...We love you!!
