" 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...

Cruising...

Back and forth

Back and forth

One chair to the next

Across the couch

So very proud

Look at him go

March 20th 2012

For nine months we waited...

For nine months we wondered...

But we prayed...

And we believed...

And you held on...



Your 1st breath...

Took my breath away...

A moment...

I will never forget...

Holding you in my arms...

Tears rolling down my face...

You were finally here...

And it was...

Unbelievable




Now here we are...

A whole year has passed...

And yet...

When I look at you...

I am still...

Amazed...


Happy 1st Birthday Riley!

Je t'aime mon petit coeur xox


You lit up my world

And still take take my breath away...

Jacob


Jacob's New Do

Crazy lashes


Even after a year...

I still can't get over...

His crazy eye lashes...

Hockey Baby

We have been saying it for months now

Ever since you learned had to sit by yourself

This boy is going to play hockey!

Funny how drawn you are to hockey sticks

So funny to watch you crawl towards our collection

Of mini sticks

Your choice before any one of your toys

We watch in amazment as you chase a little ball around the house

Hitting it with your hockey stick

And when the hockey stick is not available

Watching you improvise

With a plastic spoon

Our little hockey baby



Growing Up

Within a week...

My baby boy...

Has grown up...

I stand in the doorway...

Watching you...

Standing at the window...

Laughing at your brothers...

I wonder where the year has gone...

It seems as though...

I turned around...

And you grew up...
