Boats. Boats. Boats.


The Ville De Quebec.
A Visiting Canadian warship that we were hoping to tour yesterday, but due to various circumstances missed out on. :( I walked to the waterfront today to watch it depart. How exciting!! Now i am definitely planning a Maritime trip for our family to visit some Navel stations, boats, or something!! soooo neat. this Crew and Ship were involved in the confrontations with pirates off the coast of Somalia a couple years back.


As we waited to go to a school family BBQ, we watched this huge Laker pass by... wooooow. I can't get over the size of these boats. This one was sooo long that seriously, you only see half of it in this picture.



Cute kids. Sick Kids.

On the first full day of school for Julia my two other children were sick... of course. so, no celebration of getting lots done, or feeling free during nap time... mostly just wondering how to get them well again...buying more cough syrup (the natural honey-based kind that works)....putting kids to sleep...cuddling etc.

So...that is okay. i will have a lot of days of productivity ahead...today was just not one of them. But the up side is: JULIA LOVES SCHOOL of course. And has a wonderful teacher and class!! :)

What little sweeties!! What kind of natural cough syrup do you use? I'm intrigued!!

it is made by a french company "Stodal" and is honey based. This is only the second time using it, but it really helped Sam kick the cough he had two days ago. i only gave him two day doses and one night dose and he is no longer coughing constantly!! wahoo!! it was nuts.... he seriously coughed for the first half of the day, with hardly a break in between coughs... pooooooor kid :(

oooh Deb, wish i had seen you! A lovely lady sat by me and told me about being a secretary in the Second World War, stationed in Halifax. ... made me think of the article on your website, and how life is our school room.... :)

take care.
