100,001+

Yesterday, a holiday.......since it was lousy weather we did what we do best SHOPPED!  This time we headed to a few second hand stores and I picked up a new baby names book.  Yes, the title.  I've started reading it as I'm starting to worry that our baby is going to be born nameless if I don't start.  Do you think I can find any names that I love or like in a book with 100,001 names in it...............nope.  OK I've written a list, but nothing is standing out really.
I think its just more humorous reading the book anyways.  Like who would name their child (sorry if your name is this or if your thinking it.........but I just can't resist)
Erlina
Bachir
Gow
Obioma
I could go on and on with the list of names.......but I'm sure you've read or seem some interesting names yourself.
So really it isn't getting us any closer to finding a name for our child.  Even reading the movie credits from last night didn't inspire me.  This poor child.....I'm sure one day it will dawn on us, but for now still nameless for either gender.

Anyways here are a few more pictures of our camping trip....

The moon rise.....attempting to work with the proper settings on my camera.  (its amazing what I forget from the photography class).  I still like how this turned out........wondering what my nieces picture looks like.

Now some pictures of the people I love.  Don't worry I didn't post any in appropriate photo's.  Just some of my favourite.

Sisters!  My oldest niece and youngest niece.


My b-i-l trying to teach my mom some technology.


Do you have a good title for this one?


Cousins chilling out..........see people she does look somewhat like my side of the family, she's not only her daddy's daughter!!!!


How often can you get such a fun smile from a 9 year old boy?  I love his eyes on this picture.


This shy little guy gave me the pose with a good chat after that :)


HAPPY BIRTHDAY
 to my dear sister!
I love you!

That's all for now.........and I think for the camping trip.  I can't post all my families lovely family photo's as people can't possibly see what might just be their Christmas card photo for the year........so if you know them your gonna have to wait until Christmas!

A little bubbly

This was the very first night that I officially slept well.  Finally transitioned over to the Dutch time zone.... Started the day with by filling the stomach with a good Dutch style breakfast.  If you're not Dutch could you guess what it is? With full stomachs we headed out for the day.  It was a rather frightening start down the skinny Dutch little road.  It barely can handle a bike and a car passing each other.  So to our surprise a massive semi truck was barreling down the road.  We pulled over in a pullout but  became trapped between a large truck and the canal. That canal was not looking too pretty for a swim.... Glad we didn't end up going for that swim and the we had no extra rental car bills to pay as the truck nearly missed the sideview mirror.  After safely arriving to the park n' ride we caught the bus.  This is a fantastic system if you're in Holland!  It cost 5 Euro to park the car and ride the bus for up to 5 people! ...

Trips and treasures

A little while ago I put the link back up on my social media page from a blog about Mother's Day.  Although I get very emotional about the day and the upcoming to the day with my precious Mom being in heaven, I do remember that I have the honour of celebrating motherhood and celebrating with other mothers in my life.  I know it can be a difficult day for many in different ways.   My one little guy who hangs out with me a lot gave me a special treat when I was down....how can you not resist his smile, with a card, cup of water and an apple all delivered with that big smile and even bigger heart. Shortly after that day I was given the privilege of going on a much desired field trip with my daughter.  If you know me at all, or even through this blog you know how much I desire the ocean and the wonders of it.  This trip to Salt Spring Islands did not fail me or my wonder of our wonderful creator.  We have so much more to experience from the ocean..... ...

2021

 Turned the calendar to 2021 a while ago and just have not sat down behind the computer to type away in a while.  I just had those summer 2020 blog posts waiting to be completed.  At last that goal was accomplished and I feel like the rest of 2020 went awash......I made a video to summarize our year and felt like that was good enough to complete the year.   I won't say our 2021 had the most marvellous start.  Our family was in isolation and I can't remember what day it was of 24 days being inside our home that we rolled the new year in.  However we were loved upon by many family members and friends over the time of being indoors.  Also what better time in the world to be "stuck" at home as you can get your grocery deliveries and any other shopping done and delivered all within 24 hours.  We did not suffer.  We may have been a little stir crazy at points, but we made the best of it! Building forts hasn't happened in a long time in our house, b...
