Northern Lights!!

Not that a camera like mine can capture the Northern Lights but it was worth a shot!! Just the other day a family from Vermont stopped by for a dogsled ride...we didn't have the time to accommodate them, with the renovations and all, but then we couldn't say "No", so off Sean went with the dogs & some rather happy tourists in tow! They really hoped to see the Northern Lights during their Yukon stay...they left on Tuesday & these green & pink dancing lights took over the sky, flying in every direction, on Wednesday night (last night!) Sean Called for me to come outside just around midnight & we snuggled together for a good 20 minutes, until our feet grew too cold. We retired to bed! What an awesome sight & one I've missed all winter!

THIS is one of the reasons I choose to live here :)

I wish I could give you a better peek at what they REALLY look like...

I can't wait to see them again....

Spring is in the air!

My Mountains AKA The Saint Elias Mountain Range...Driving down my road :)

Isn't THAT hard to take??

Part of the view out my new window! I just live the spring icicles...& they make GREAT ice cubes for the odd wee dram of scotch :) If only spring could last all year long!

Grandee & Grandad got the girls moccasins,made by Marge Jackson, for Christmas...being on "Yukon Time & Indian Time" we got them this week!! They were well worth the wait though...They are a two year old size but we couldn't wait to try them on!! A bit big yet, don't you think? Ahhh...time will fly bye no doubt!!

Thanks Grandee & Grandad!! We LOVE them!!!

Nothing like an early morning snuggle with one of my best girls! :):)

This cozy scene took place after our fist night back in the cabin!! We camped out on the floor in the new living room because the bedrooms aren't ready for us yet but there was a full moon so we couldn't resist camping out under our new big windows!!

Here's a fuzzy pic of our full moon...I'm sure you get the idea :)

The girls tented beside our futon!!

Tent, compliments of Vanessa & Fischer!
Thanks buddies!!

It's SOOOOOO good to be home!!

Easter bundles!!

More of the Northern Lights from last night!! What a display...sorry if you missed it!!!

Sarah Grace...my perfect Easter bundle!!

Adelaide Anne...Wow she's cute! And MINE!!!

Adelaide Anne & Sarah Grace with their Easter buddies!!

Peter Rabbit actually lives in MY garden!! See?? He visits us EVERY day!!

"There's no place like home"

A FitzGerald toast to our new & improved cabin in the wood!! Daddy FitzGerald has been as busy as can be preparing for his three girls! And his efforts shall be rewarded :) Would that be Scapa or Enfamil?



Daa Da !!! Our new living room with insulation, windows, flooring & PAINT!! Heck, there is even a furnace to be found!! We've got ALL the modern comforts in THIS room!!




Talk about modern conviences...here you can find a fridge & stove to boot!! Did I mention the INSULATION???



As you can see the hard work is starting to pay off!! We finally get to enjoy family time in our own home!! There may be a few more nails to hammer & some flooring to lay but, we're getting there! & just like Dorothy said, "There's no place like home" :)

A Hard Day's Night

It's been a hard day for the FitzGerald family today.....The dogs continued to sit in the yard board to tears, Sean worked his hands (and knees) to the bone laying flooring & the twins went to the Nurses Station for their immunizations - 3 needles each!! OUCH!! Everyone is over tired sore & cranky!! Thank God the three of them have finally drifted off to sleep! Only problem is that Sean is snoring on the couch, Adelaide is in her swing chair & Sarah is snuggled into her crib on her TUMMY!!! In other words...they ALL have to be woken up !!!

I've tried to down load a mini video of them all in their various corners (Sean SNORING) but will Blogger allow me to down load anything tonight ?? Heck NO!! Oh well, Sean is spared from the world hearing him SNORE & YOU, the World, is spared from hearing him!! Even Wellington is crashed out on the floor fast asleep...

Maybe I'm missing something here...how is it that the entire house is passed out but ME?? Oh ya...I have to wake up the girls to feed them...will they EVER stop eating??? You see, normally I'd not wake them but if they don't eat between 11 p.m. & midnight, they'll likely wake up by 2 or 3 a.m. demanding to be fed then...I'd rather deal with their protests NOW so that I can sleep through till morning!! Hummm...let me think this one through..... They cried all afternoon, they are asleep now, they've had a full dose of tylonel...hummmmm.....I'm fried & it's 12:15 a.m. To heck with routine..........let the lot of them sleep (with a quick flip of Sarah!!).....

I'M GOING TO BED!!!

Yukon Couture !!

Auntie Eileen (who happens to live in Tuscany Italy) made sure that Adelaide & Sarah have just what all little dog mushing girls need in the Yukon...

Italian leather purses!!

It's Yukon Couture!! It's their friend, their shopping companion, a statement about who they are!!

So why does their Mother not have one??? Hay, come to think of it, their Mother doesn't even own a fake leather purse these days!! But we won't go there right now.

I can picture it now...

shopping days in Whitehorse / Vancouver / Toronto / Rome

$ $ $ Daddy & his THREE precious girls $ $ $

Poor fella...

Now dear Cousin Courtney, you can look, you can touch, but the purses HAVE to return to the Yukon!!!

Adelaide Anne models for us today:

"Yukon couture"....coveralls & Italian leather!

The coveralls are a must in the dog yard & the purse,

a must in her dogsled-bag when running the Yukon Quest !

With Zio (Uncle) Marcello as her dog handler, of course!!

Notice the accent flowers, as the purple hue of the leather gently draws your eye to the delicate design of Adelaide's Yukon Warm Fuzzy Sleeper!

Sarah Grace puts on her...

"Oh Daddy, what do you mean the credit card is maxed out??" look as she clutches her stunning burgundy handbag that just so happens to set off the softness of her pink suit.

& then her ...

"Oh Daddy, I know...what about my OWN credit card???" with her , "I'll win him over" baby eyes...

Just wait till they are old enough to be dressed in Carharts, wear their Tilley's & carry their leather purses! What a photo op THAT will be!! Oh Eileen, what HAVE you done to Sean & me!!

;)
