Sunday Morning

 What! 

I have molars trying to come thru - it works!

 "I can play the piano too Grandma"

Norah and Eva have some fun on the piano together waiting for Mom and Dad to pick them up. When the doorbell rings and Dad looks through the front window, the girls get all excited. 

Not sure who was more excited, the girls or their grandparents. ;)

It's 10 pm and they are both still wide awake. They are NOT on G&G's schedule.

Post note - midnight.... no sleep until midnight. :(  mittagsschlafen (or metaschlope) tomorrow

Miss Eva

Loves to read!!
Knows her alphabet & colours and counts to ten.
She is amazing me.

...and while Miss Eva is learning all these wonderful skills, Grandma is learning how to use Instagram on her new iPhone 5 and how to upload photos off her iPhone 5.
It is a learning curve!
I am spending way too much time attached to my phone.

Orchid

It continues to open more blossoms.

Racing

Both girls were laughing hysterically as they raced down the hall and thru the dining room. They were moving awfully fast so kind of blurry - but the moment is captured.

Norah had the head start but Eva stole the lead....

Saskatoon Wedding Beautiful Bride

More to come of Jane and Ryan on their very special day.

Beautiful!

I wonder if she will ever tire of all the photographs grandma takes of her.  I hope not.

Saskatoon Wedding

Ryan and Jane.
Beautiful couple, so relaxed, so comfortable. I love seeing a bride and groom really enjoying every moment of their wedding day. It was a real pleasure to spend the day with you.
Congratulations Ryan and Jane!!

Saskatoon Wedding

Shot my first wedding of 2013 today.
I am out of shape!! This camera gear is heavy!

Anyways - heading to bed, but had a good laugh at this one so thought I would post it for you tonight.

LOTS more to go thru (not sure how many). They are still saving to the hard drives as I type, but hopefully by tomorrow I will have a few more to post.

The Orchid

Some of you know this story. I posted last year about this time.
A friend and coworker blessed me with an orchid in April 2011 when my father died. It was beautiful and bloomed for over a month. Then all the flowers died and nothing more came.
In late January 2012 it sprouted new buds and bloomed in time for my fathers birthday February 13th and right thru until April - the month he died. But the stock that the blooms were on died off too last year and so I thought it was finished.
Still, when I remembered, I watered it.

This past Christmas it sent up a healthy shoot and again in mid January 2013 beautiful buds appeared - 12 of them instead of the usual 6. It will be full of blooms for Dad's birthday.

My friend and co worker likely doesn't know this but I am just so blessed every year when my orchid blooms from February to April. It is a daily reminder of what a beautiful person my father was.
