Katrine’s 7th Gotchaversary
(Yes I am procrastinating again, but this time lets call it deciding on the best assignement to complete. The plus side is, that you get another photo update.) We didn’t have this blog running when we adopted Katrine 7 years ago so I thought that I would put up some photos of our first day [...] Continue reading
Barbie Carnaval
It was a festive day on the Attwood front lawn. You see, Barbie Carnaval had arrived. I am told that it will be here all week but I really think that is up to Mother Nature. It was suppose to come last week but between Katrine being ill and the snow melting all of the [...] Continue reading

In our house we do *rap!
And no, I didn’t mean rap. Did I get your attention though? This morning Elspeth came out with a request that went something like this, “Mama, mama…..cra*, cra*!” Well that stopped me in my tracks.

Time for some random cuteness
Now we are getting somewhere. She no longer hates the snow. What a sweetie.
No longer self-concious about her teeth so we have her beautiful smile back.
What a silly girl.

Winter Glitters
Katrine successfully completed her first solo in competition today. She got all of the way through and didn’t fall down. The quality of the skating was not her usually but she was really nervous this morning. She was the best dressed though. Came in 6th though and got a pink ribbon so she was content.
