Helen's Blog – March 2012 Archive (27)

An Easter feast arrives in the mail from Ben's lovely parents.

A farewell meal for our boss and CEO, who is leaving the company at the end of the week. A great team!

Learning about processing sap into maple syrup at Dumfries Maples.

We get stuck in to one of Ben's birthday presents. 27 discs of those crazy Heffernans/Spooners!

A belated birthday supper at Sam Snead's.

Do BodyCombat. It seems that it's good for your back and shoulder muscles.

After a full day of hiding inside the torn fabric underneath the base of the sofa bed, Rosie and Miley begin to see that the new house isn't so bad after all.

It's Ben's birthday! Modeling a football shirt / soccer jersey of his favourite player, sent to him across the ocean by his lovely parents.

We move around some of the mountains of boxes, and remarkably find a living room shaping up.

A black day. It's moving day, and we have lots of help from many wonderful friends, but we're sad to leave. We didn't feel like celebrating, so this is a mark of respect in remembrance of our first real home in Canada. Also, I was so busy that I forgot to take a…

We slowly start moving into our new place!

I went to a great FDUG (Fredericton Developer User Group) event and meant to take a photo there. However, I was obviously so wrapped up in the interesting speakers that I forgot... So, what's the next best thing to take a photo of in Canada? Snow, of…

Overly excited about an early night curled up with a book. Well, I have been very busy...

Tomorrow is my last Kids.Now session. Each week I had asked the kids to write down one thing that they're grateful for, and for the last session I've put them all together into one poster. Hopefully they'll see just how many good things they've got going…

BodyCombat and soccer in one day? Why not!

Project 30 - Mar 10: Ben's back for the weekend to help with packing up the house... which apparently involves a mocha and a duvet.

Project 30 - Mar 9: The work week ends with some foosball. For me, one win, one loss. Must do better.

My view out to the backyard this morning while eating breakfast. The perfect way to start a day.
