It has been over a year since I updated my blog, hopefully somebody will still look at it LOL! Keith bought me Dragon speak 12 as one of my Christmas presents so it should be a little easier for me to update... That is my hope anyways!!
A brief update about us Emerson is in grade 2 and enjoying it tremendously she's doing quite well. I am just chugging along on doing what I can.
In the coming weeks I will be updating this to catch you up on last year :-)

Halloween 2012
Emmy had fun trick or Treating despite the snow we had. The road was very uneven so I stayed home as my balance sucks and Keith took our little fairy Emmy around the block. Monday, October 29, 2012

The day Emerson saved my life
It has taken me over a month to write this post about the event that transpired on June 5,2011 due to a combination of time in the hospital, physical limitations and probably some mental blocks of not wanting to relive the experience. As it is good therapy to type, I shall give it a go.
It was a Monday, my EDO day. so Em and I were home together I had a Doctor's appointment in the morning, but chose to take her with me rather than drop her off at daycare We usually spend my EDO days together, so was not out of the ordinary by any means.
The day began normally. We went to my appointment which was quick as I was just refilling prescriptions.
I was feeling positively normal .We came home I noticed I was having trouble opening the front door, like my hands wouldn't work properly. I managed to get the door open, and Em and I went inside.
Once inside, I laid down on the couch as I suddenly felt overwhelmingly tired. Em went and played on my computer. A few minutes later, I tried to sit up to take a drink of water and I couldn't all of a sudden, I could hear myself making moaning noises and I was aware I was making them, but I could not control it. Em heard this and became quite panicked. I knew I needed help, and fast.I heard Em crying and saying over and over again that "Mommy was going to die" I wanted to comfort her. to tell her I was OK. I rolled off the couch to help but all that did was put me face down on the carpet. I still could only moan and make generally scary noises but Em, who now was asking me what she could do for me. I kept trying to say "phone but it was not intelligible, despite my efforts.Thankfully, she figured it out and she brought me a phone. I picked up the phone and managed to dial Keith's work, praying the girl answering would understand me.She answered, and I kept repeating Keith's name When he came on the line, I repeatedly said to "come home" until I knew heard he understood me.Keith was home within minutes and called 9-1-1
At this moment weeks later, we still have no diagnosis the working diagnosis is a stroke, but the head Neurologist , does not feel that is the case, rather a condition that mimics the signs of one was in hospital for 9 days had too many tests to count and I am on sick leave while we wait for more and a diagnosis I am slowly getting better, just taking it one day at a time. I Thank God that I kept Em home and that my 5 year old had the courage to help in what had to be the most terrifying of situations What if I Had sent Em to daycare? I would have been alone until 6PM My baby girl saved my life
***********Please forgive typo's am am just starting to be able to type and it is oh so slow

Em's summer activities...
Outside of swimming, I enrolled Em in T-ball and soccer which she enjoyed tremendously Unfortunately, due to what happened to me at the beginning of June, it was cut short as I was unable to get her there but I will look at enrolling her next year below are some pictures

Emmy's 5th birthday
Emmy had her 5th birthday celebration on Sunday, Feb 20 (which is her birthday). We chose to do a family celebration rather than a party with friends as her daycare friends are all considerably younger than her, including her beloved Landon aka her boyfriend who is 3.
She had no lack of presents by any means. My parents sent her a portable DVD player and a DVD of Alvin and the Chipmunks. It is a week later as I write this and it is still her favorite gift. She also received a keyboard, a U-draw game tablet for the Wii, 2 Leap Pad Explorer games and a HUGE stuffed bear from Uncle Sheldon and Aunt Lorna. I have purposely left out her new doll "Allyson" aka Chucky, who we are hoping Em only has a short fascination with. We can't even blame All-chucky's arrival on anyone else as Keith bought it for her and was a leftover Christmas gift. It never shuts up. Ever. Just when you think it has gone to sleep, it starts again.
We had a good day - We had lunch at Grandma's and had cake and family time. We took Emmy to see Gnomeo and Juliet, which was in 3-D. As it was dark when we got into the theatre, I randomly handed out the glasses to Keith and Em. Unbeknown st to me, I had the kids size and Em had the adult pair. For the entire movie I had these REALLY small and tight glasses on and didn't even clue in. Good thing it was a good movie!

Mr Bossy Pants and more
Emmy called me "Mr. Bossy Pants" this afternoon which earned her a tine out and an automatic removal of the movie she was watching. Em at this stage is calling everyone a "he" or a "him, no matter how many times we try to gently correct her. Dad is a he - and she gets that. Yet Mommy and Grandma are also he's in Em's world. One day...one day.
In my effort to catch up on this blog I am adding photos from fall - back when we could see the grass still. Emmy and Keith were raking leaves. It absolutely blows my mind how much she has grown in what feels like a blink of an eye.

It's been waaaaaaaay too long!
If you are reading this, I am thankful for you, your patience and that you came to visit my blog. I am back and have a bunch of posts to make this weekend. Short update on us: We are all well, had a great Christmas and settling back into life. Em's 5th birthday is in less than a month, and next Wednesday, Keith will be registering her for Kindergarten for the fall. As I am on the tail end of the 6 month ban on driving which ends March 14, 2011 providing with God's Grace I don't have another seizure, it made more sense for him to do it. It has been a frustrating 6 months as I have been completely dependent upon others to get me from point A to B. There is really nothing within a decent walking distance and whenever I am home, Emmy is with me. Add in the fact it is winter in Northern British Columbia and that equals staying home LOTS.
So, Iam back and will be updating over the next few days with pics and more.

2010 PGX
Today, we went to the annual Prince George Exhibition. It was a very warm day in Prince George, with temps hitting 31 degrees. We saw the animals, Emmy went on a bunch of rides a bunch of times, and we ate some trans-fat laden fair food. Emmy got a sparky temp tattoo as she didn't want her face painted. Here are the pics...
