Algonquin Trip
Mike and I spent this last weekend at Algonquin Park for some much needed couple time. It's been a long time since we had a whole weekend away by ourselves...it was nice! We did some hiking and some canoeing. It was a tad chilly but not uncomfortable and of course having a heated trailer makes all the difference.
I am not overjoyed with the photos I ended up with this time...my camera is in desperate need of some service...I would actually love to upgrade to a new Cannon but we will see about that.
Here are the little pieces of Algonquin Park that I captured this weekend...we plan to go next weekend as well for Thanksgiving so stay tuned for more photos.
We were also lucky enough to see another moose...a buck! Sadly he retreated to the woods before I was able to photograph him...oh well, ya can't win 'em all!

Busy Busy Busy!
Life gets so crazy so quickly sometimes and all of a sudden you find there's no time for anything.
Blogging has taken a back seat to all of the other things that have been going on but I thought I'd just pop in to give a quick update on life in my little world...
- I now have a job...I clean houses with my friend Rochelle. I really enjoy it and it gives me spending money. It's physically tiring but it feels good to be working again.
- Bailey has just begun third grade. I can't believe it! She is growing up too fast and if anyone knows how to freeze time so I can keep things just the way they are right now...that would be great. I would gladly use some of my new income to pay you for such a service. Eight year old's are just about perfect!
Here are some photos from her first day of school...
- We went to Arrowhead again at the beginning of September. It was beautiful as always and we all had a wonderful weekend.
Of course there were plenty of opportunities for picture taking...
- Mike and I are going to take a well deserved "Mommy and Daddy weekend" to Algonquin Park in October...can't wait for that! The colours should be amazing and the local wildlife will hopefully make themselves available for some photos.
Well that about covers the big stuff. Hopefully soon I'll have some new scrapbook pages to show off. See you soon =D.

I Have an Angel to Thank
Mike fell at work.
His employee, Geoff, called my in-laws to get my cell number.
He told me that the paramedics took him to St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto. (he was working in Toronto that day)
I had been told that he seemed to be OK but I really had no idea what his condition truly was.
It seemed like a very long drive to the city.
I was afraid of what I was going to see when I got there.
So many terrible thoughts went through my head.
When I got to the emergency room and started walking toward bed 9 my stomach was in complete chaos and I was fighting back the tears.
The curtain was open and there he was, covered in blood, wrapped in blankets and wearing a neck brace.
Oh my God! That is not a sight I ever want to witness ever again!
All I could think was "Thank God he's alive"! "What the hell would I do without him"!
He had x-rays...no broken bones.
He had a CT scan...no brain injuries.
He was given six stitches in his head and four in his eye. (the man has the hardest head in the world)
He had several big, deep bruises. (more than two weeks later some still remain)
He was released from the hospital approximately five hours after he arrived.
This is a photo of the structure that he fell from...it is 25' high...he fell head first!
This photo was taken well after his fall. Long after the structure was fixed and his trailer has been moved. The wood forms were also not there at the time.
Basically, he landed in the ONLY spot that was free of any obstructions, a space barely bigger than he is. Had there been any variation in the way he fell or how he landed...the outcome probably would have been devastating.
I think that maybe...just maybe...an Angel caught him.
