Butterfly Visits: October 2011

" Dance like nobody's watching; love like you've never been hurt; sing like nobody's listening; live like its Heaven on earth" - Mark Twain. Beyond all else, I am the wife to my very best friend and a mom to five amazing children. My blog is a little bit of this and a little bit of that, and what makes up my day to day with the love of my life Benoit and my boys, Olivier Nicholas, Joshua Etienne, Jacob Antoine, and our little miracle Riley Félix-Gabriel, and our final family member, our little princess, Juliette Alexia Mélirose...While remembering our children, Gabriell and Méliange who left us much too early...our Butterfly-Angels....Welcome to my little world...

Enjoy the little

things in life...

For one day you'll look

back and realize they

were the big things...

My Little Sunshine

So Proud To Be A Hockey Mom

Thanking the parents for the support - they do this after every home game...brings tears to my eyes every time...

October

‎"Missing someone isn't about how long it has been since you've seen them or the amount of time since you've talked. It's about that very moment when you find yourself doing something and wishing they were right by your side"

October once again...The month by beautiful angels were due to be born...The month which should have brought such joy into our home, into our family...But instead will forever remain an empty memory of what should have been...

My little boy would have turned 2 this month...And my beautiful daughter a year old...

Many days, I smile when I think of them...blessed to have carried them...knowing they changed my life, they changed my world forever...

But sometimes...Catching me off guard...Or when I least expect it...I find myself with tears in my eyes...Missing them...Wishing they were by our side...

October once again...

That amazing smile across his face

Screams of happiness

Riley

Time for a few Riley pics ~ 6 1/2 months

Hockey ~ Atome CC

My oldest, Olivier, has been dreaming of making Atome CC this year...the highest rank for his age.

After weeks in the training camp - making it through the weekly cuts - the day of the final cuts had arrived...

Watching him walk out the door with that smile on his face - priceless!

Not only making the team - but ranked the #1 Defenseman in the league AND chosen to wear the assistant "A" on his chest...Could this mom be any prouder...

Heading to his hockey game
