I'm very saddened to say that my wonderful Mom, passed away on Wednesday, October 24th, after a long illness with cancer.
My whole family was able to be at her side for days before her death, and she knew we were with her.
She passed with all of us at her side, at 8:33am, she took her last breathe, smiled and peacefully passed. We felt a great calmness within us as she passed,and we knew she was no longer suffering.
She went into pallative care just a week prior, and experienced no pain. Even when she could no longer talk to us, she still managed to make us smile and tease us!
She was a wonderful,giving and caring person!
We will miss her dearly.

The Breast Cancer site is having trouble getting enough people to click on their site daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged woman. It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on "donating a mammogram" for free (pink window in the middle).

This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate mammogram in exchange for advertising.

Here's the web site! Pass it along to people you know.

This weeks FFFF at Loving Lydia is a personality picture of your child. That one photo that says it all. Well, it was really hard to choose just one photo, so I made a layout for each child. (yes, I cheated)!!

BUT

if i HAD to choose 1 photo..
this would be it

Fast and furious and going by in a blur!
The wild one at the wheel, her side kick riding shot gun and safety girl in the back making sure seat belts are on and she can talk them out of jail!

We spent a great day at the park last weekend, I think it was our last warm day.
Fall is now in the air, crisp and windy!!
We went apple picking yesterday (pics to come) and I baked pumpkin cookies (today) from Bamboo Sprouts.
