Making memories

6 days since Sean left. We're hanging in there. 5 out of 6 of us have colds but besides being cranky and tired, we are managing to carry on. One activity that has been keeping us busy is working on our "Powell River Alphabet Memory Book." We are hoping to capture some of our favorite places and people. Here are a few from today........

R is for River City Coffee
This is a favorite place of ours. Chocolate milk mochas are the best! Sean and I met back in 1999 when I was working behind the counter and he was buying coffee. I even went to Maui with the young lady holding Aiden. Hard to believe I was brought along as her babysitter!
V is for viewpoint.
I just realized how awful it is that my 3 sick children are not wearing jackets and Caileigh isn't even wearing shoes. They did just jump out for the picture! Honest! Oh, and yes, Caileigh does dress herself.

S is for Safeway Starbucks. A regular stop of ours. Here are the kids with Kayla, one of the great staff that we call friends.
I just had to include this because these are Caileigh's "boyfriends", Anthony and Matteus. She adores telling them what to do and they love to follow suit. They are identical twins as well. We met through twin group. We will sure miss them!

I'll be sure to share more as they unfold............

  3. What a great idea - you'll have such fun thinking of places and people to include and what a teaching tool for the kids and keepsake for later years. All of you are amazing and hope that you all feel better soon. See you soon - we are counting the sleeps - 7 left!!!!!!
