Sabian`

Is home!! We picked him up yesterday, and he is doing good. Walks a little funny, his backside looks a little funny, but he's our kitty, and he's home! His backside was shaved for surgery, and they had to cut pretty much all the tail off, so it looks rather gross. We have to give him antibiotics for a few days, and Michael has to clean the area, but he will be ok!! Thank Goodness. If I get around to taking a picture of his backside, then I will share, but until then, you just have to imagine ;)

I am off to a women's retreat this weekend!! I am soooo excited! I thought I wouldn't be able to go, but we got a little surprise, and I decided it was best for me to go! My mom is coming with! It is 3 hours north of the city we live in, and we will be riding in a bus, with supper aboard! I've been on this retreat before, the place is just lovely!! Shekinah Retreat Centre <-- take a look for yourself, but imagine lots of snow!! haha

Have a great Family Day weekend, and enjoy your family!!

Our Kitty

On Sunday, our precious 12 yr old cat (64 in cat yrs) was run over by our new truck, well, his tail was anyways. We had some friends over, and the dads were going out to pick up some food for supper, and next thing I know, Noah came in saying daddy drove over Sabian. One of my worst fears since we moved him out there last April. The cat ran off, and we looked for a bit, but then ate supper. Immediately after supper our friends had to leave and we searched for him again, for 2 hours. Some of our neighbours/friends helped us look too for a little while, we searched peoples back yards (with permission) and couldn't find him anywhere, we weren't sure if he was going somewhere to die, or if he was just mad. So we came inside, and we got the kids ready for bed, and right when Noah was about to go to bed, he happened to look out our bedroom window, which faces the garage, and he saw kitty go into the garage, yah!! So we went out to look at him and discovered he was in fact back in his warm house we built for him. He wouldn't come out, so we decided to leave him for the night. The next day, hubby decided to take the day off to deal with kitty. We went out to the garage first thing, and he wasn't in his house...sigh...we did find him, after a few minutes of being worried. He looked like he wet himself, and he wouldn't drink, or eat his food, or snacks. We took him to the Dr, and they said, after they x-rayed his tail, that it was severed from his spine, and will need to be amputated....they kept him over night, cause they want to make sure that his bladder isn't ruptured, cause if it is, they will have to put him down :( It was a sad sad day at our house yesterday, today is a bit better, waiting to hear from the Dr if he has gone to the bathroom properly or if they think his bladder is ruptured. I will post again when I hear anything!
This is a picture of Sabian when he was suntanning on our van one day, he is such a mellow, laid back kitty!! He has lived with us for almost 12 yrs!! Everybody we talked to on Sunday, knew him, and anybody who'd walk by Sabian always stopped to pet him and comment on what a gorgeous cat he was!!!

Ho Hum...

There is nothing to write about...life is moving along at it's regular pace, FAST, and the kids are keeping busy with school, extra curricular activities, fighting and all the other usual sibling/kid things.

We have the homeschool convention coming up at the end of February in Saskatoon, we are leaving on Thursday and coming home on Saturday. We are excited about it, but also not excited. Noah will be missing his first hockey tournament, and Breanna will be missing a soccer game against two of her friends. But we already paid for the convention before we realized all this. I'm also looking at it as a little get-a-way for us, away from the everyday. So, I guess that will be fun!

Otherwise, there isn't anything else that I can think of that I need to, or would like to share...
No new pictures to share, cause I hate my camera, and haven't been taking many pictures with is and wish I could get a new one...even though this one is a new one, I just made a bad purchase.
sigh...I hope I will have some more to share at another time...

Oh, I found a picture, from back in December. I like this picture alot, the kids all hovered around watching the game on the DS. The do this alot, and I makes me happy inside!!
