January 19/13 (Sunday)
Went to Michael's yesterday with Brad, we had a great time there looking for ideas.
I came home  with lot's of things to keep me busy for quite a while.  Trying my hand at wreaths, and painting.  Don't know how well the painting will go I usually draw stickmen so this is a challenge.
tomorrow is Ryan's birthday, I called again yesterday and that is now the 3rd time I have left a message that has not been responded to.  Sounds like Dianne, maybe just nobody wants to talk with me.  At least I have Jaimee, her and Sam came after work and stayed over night. Real surprise because they are working. They will just leave early and get to work for 8am.  They visit so often now it is a real treat. We all get along great and watch movies, play games or just talk. The time flies when they are here. They are coming back tonight after work to stay again. Jaimee's house is still in a mess since her water line froze and broke a pipe. So they stay here or at Sam's mum's place.
Last I heard Ben (3) is just learning to skate. Ryan would like to see him play hockey hopefully next year. Matthew is just growing and smiling all the time. His Christening is coming up next month.
He won't be able to wear the family dress, as he has gotten to big for it. The dress has been passed down many generations in our family. Both my children wore it, I wore it, my mum wore it and her mother. It is still in very good shape, and passes around for other extended family as well.
