</div><div style="text-align: center;">I had just left the baseball diamond/playground that's next to the school. It was my first "date" with Kristen. I was 12 he was moving away the next day and it would be last time I would see him for several years. We sat in a swing together, he put his arm around me which I reprimanded him for. I mean that was moving WAY too fast for my liking....lol. Hey I was 12!!<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Anyway...I had just left to walk "down around the point" to find my brother. I was allowed to be out later as long as I came home with him at his curfew. <br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I found him hanging out with his classmates, one being Myrna.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://myrnaweblog.blogspot.com/">Myrna</a> had a boyfriend, his name was Clayton. <br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">That was the first time I met him. And what did he do? He gave me a compliment.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Yep, that's what he did, Clayton was a charmer :)<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">From that moment I was absolutely smitten. I went on then to spend most of Grade 7 with a huge crush on him (Kristen who? I kid, I kid) Which I'm pretty sure him and the whole school knew about. It was a small town.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">A few years later I would go on a couple of dates with him but nothing serious. But that's what he did, he was a charmer. And I was smitten.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">----------<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">This past Friday night I was told of the news of his passing.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Another young life taken tragically and quickly due to the Newfoundland winter roads. <br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I still haven't cried over the news. <br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm not sure if I'm in shock, denial or what it is but I do know that when I'm up at 3am for Jesse's feedings, it's all I think about.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I think about his poor mother who at one time changed her son's diapers like I'm changing Jesse's now. And all I think is no mother should ever lose a child. I never understood this statement as vividly as I do now.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I go back to bed after Jesse has dozed back off to dreamland and I can't sleep.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I think about the days of highschool when I knew Clayton. I haven't seen him for years, the last time being a softball game in Brampton.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And though a stranger to me now I was one of many girls that he charmed the socks off and will never forget him.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">My condolences go out to his family...this cliche statement but a statement that is also true.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">They are in my thoughts and in my prayers.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">To his Mom....I can't even imagine the pain you may be feeling. But may God give you some peace in your heart that you find strength to go on. <br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Know that you raised a good man that was loved by many and he has you to thank for that.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">--------------<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Check out Myrna's post about Clayton <a href="http://myrnaweblog.blogspot.com/2010/01/loss-in-memory.html">HERE</a><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">RIP Clayton :(<br />

</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12503964.post-47132384021040218732010-01-10T11:33:00.000-05:002010-01-10T11:33:50.150-05:0050mm<div style="text-align: center;">Yes Tara, to answer your question. I did get a new lens for Christmas. The 50mm fixed 1.8 to be exact. <br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And to answer your question Myrna yes, the shots of us out to dinner and Kristen with his turkey were all taken on the new lens.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">-------------<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Now if you're not a photographer on an SLR camera then the above statement means absolutely nothing to you. But if you do photograph with an SLR then you already know a 50mm lens is a MUST HAVE and honestly I've been dumb to not have owned it sooner. It is honestly the permanent lens on my camera 'since' Christmas.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The reason I went so long without it is because I was holding out to buy the 1.4 which is considerably more expensive....however when Kristen & I did some research before Christmas we found out that unless you're photographing EXTREME low light conditions which I rarely do then you are not getting the value for your money.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Next thing I knew...Kristen had one under the Christmas tree for me. I love my hubby :)<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtlrf4yNtSKcgakGMuwn1-9pnng8yIhPABcNbEhRU8jtA1WoSFI0SwgxnxC4LEfM3oL_3s9l4yENAyghyphenhyphenCVHVwvl9rhjAMR-im38ykwlLAQawVEy_Sp9bbkdxyTf3sPI5SmfsAkg/s1600-h/DSC_6163.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtlrf4yNtSKcgakGMuwn1-9pnng8yIhPABcNbEhRU8jtA1WoSFI0SwgxnxC4LEfM3oL_3s9l4yENAyghyphenhyphenCVHVwvl9rhjAMR-im38ykwlLAQawVEy_Sp9bbkdxyTf3sPI5SmfsAkg/s400/DSC_6163.JPG" /></a><br />
</div><br />
<div align="center">For you point & shoot photographers, lets see if I can actually "show" you the difference<br />

</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">On the left is Uncle Blaine, his background is actually farther away than the background on the right with Papa. <br />
</div><div align="center">Yet with the 50mm lens you get a greater depth of field (blurrier backgrounds) which is exactly what you want. <br />
</div><div align="center">You don't want people focusing on my Ikea lamp behind Papa but on his smile while holding baby Jesse.<br />
</div><div align="center">Yet with Uncle Blaine the photo is just as sweet yet you're sizing up my Christmas village on the top of my cupboards as well :) <br />
</div><div align="center">Get it!?!<br />
</div><div align="center">I'm so excited about the weddings this summer...can you just imagine how awesome the close up's of my brides are going to be? Yeah....I know!!!<br />
</div><div align="center">Speaking of close ups...here's a couple Kristen & I took of Jesse & Boone the last couple of days.<br />
</div><div align="center">If you look closely this photo isn't blurry as Kristen suggested it was....I used a single focal point.<br />
</div><div align="center">That's another lesson for another day, but in short, his left eye, to the right of the photo is actually where my focus was, thus leaving his right eye looking somewhat blurred.<br />

This past Christmas and really all of 2009 was truly about Family.<br />
I went into last year making my new years resolution to be a better person and yet things never work out how you think they will.<br />
It was YOU who showed me how amazing YOU are.<br />
The generosity and love shown to us the minute we shared that we were expecting was just overwhelming. We cannot thank you enough and I'm so humbled by the experience.<br />
It wasn't me making me a better person it was you...from the bottom of my heart....THANK YOU!<br />
----------------<br />
This year I want to pay it forward, this year my new years resolution is to GIVE.<br />
Be generous, give more of my time, go pro with my photography but include "free" items with every package, show love the way it was shown to Kristen, Jesse & I in 2009.<br />
This year I turn 30...I know...its sad leaving my 20's but I'm looking forward to a new decade, a new genre of adulthood.<br />
And with that its with VERY mixed emotions that I announce the end of this blog. Quirky Christa....<br />
I started my blog of ramblings in 2005 I can't believe I'm into my 5th year as a blogger, even before it became mainstream and the "thing" to do but with starting my own business and becoming a mother maintaining two blogs have become too much.<br />
So in the coming weeks I'll be launching my new blog...no worries, I'll be posting the link here. Along with launching my photography website.<br />
It'll still be the usual me, with giveaways, contests, recipes and ramblings. But my photography will also be incorporated. I hope you don't mind :) oh and a new look too!<br />
I'm going to miss this blog but it's time to move on. I'll be doing a few more posts before moving over to the new blog and I cannot thank you enough for your loyalty, patience and continually "checking back" to see if I've done a post or not as I've adjusted to motherhood. <br />
I love being a mom but it's been quite the challenge to say the least :)<br />
Again thank you....without you there would be no quirky christa...well I'd still be quirky just nobody to share my ramblings with.....lol.<br />
<br />
Okay now I'll end this post since it's quite long. Would love your feedback as always as I continue on my journey of life. I'm so happy with where I am right now and look forward to whatever the future may hold. Please tag along, I love the company!<br />
Much love, Quirky Christa~<br />
<br />

</div><div align="center">I can't believe how big he's getting and how fast time has gone already :(<br />
</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">Is everyone all ready for Christmas? I officially finished shopping last night and today I have to wrap and bake more cookies.<br />
</div><div align="center">Everything I did at the girls cookie bake will probably be gone by today. Speaking of, can someone send some pictures to me of the cookie bake?<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Last night we watched the Disney animated movie "<a href="http://adisney.go.com/disneyvideos/animatedfilms/up/main.html">Up</a>" and I absolutely LOVED it! <br />
</div><br />
<div align="center"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMOUN3tjselXOFQVpOSV8X_e2ATAq8Fhtnug-_wmD1fT_1NVMIeanSXcVROAMDtqWHNZ21QlsarWPQ_9baY9-pHnFEMYFOdxGVpR23OxdmljOoL2U74EZO7iw81BLqiUN_bNBELQ/s1600/UP_wallpapers_1024x768_01_NP.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMOUN3tjselXOFQVpOSV8X_e2ATAq8Fhtnug-_wmD1fT_1NVMIeanSXcVROAMDtqWHNZ21QlsarWPQ_9baY9-pHnFEMYFOdxGVpR23OxdmljOoL2U74EZO7iw81BLqiUN_bNBELQ/s400/UP_wallpapers_1024x768_01_NP.jpg" yr="true" /></a><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I love animated films and lately they've been okay but not great. This one I thoroughly enjoyed. I think because the soft side of me just LOVED the storyline. I would honestly say this movie could be more for adults than children. <br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Older children would definitely appreciate the story more so than toddlers I would think...but who am I to say for sure?!?!<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">-------------<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Things are going well with Jesse, he's still on a rough routine which I'm liking since I like to be so organized all the time and Jesse not being on a schedule is quite an adjustment for me. <br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">He's growing like crazy, had his first needles last week which went good.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And only a few more weeks and its Christmas! <br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I haven't had time to get any decorations out yet but hoping to start doing a little bit here and there this week to have everything completed by this weekend.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I've also been pumping since nursing only has really made me feel confined to home at times. And now with being the owner of a breast pump I'm actually going to attempt going to Kristen's Christmas party this Friday night for a few hours. <br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">My Aunt is going to babysit Jesse, and I'm already nervous. I'm sure everything will be fine but it's nerve wracking for sure.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">----------------<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Well that's it for now....oh and to finish up a picture of our little man :)<br />

</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12503964.post-38254652458581259562009-11-09T13:39:00.000-05:002009-11-09T13:39:56.125-05:00<div style="text-align: center;">I said to a friend this weekend that I honestly feel like I missed fall.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I guess because I've been home so much that I didn't see the trees with their beautiful fall colours.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Now that I'm getting out more the leaves have already fallen to the ground and I missed it :(<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">However that being said, I can't wait for Christmas this year :)<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm already in the mood to listen to Christmas music and decorate the tree.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">But I'll refrain, I normally take all my decorations out around Dec 1st, this year I have a feeling it'll be closer to Nov 25th (1 month before Christmas)<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm soooo excited.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Probably because its our first Christmas with Jesse. <br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I know he can't open presents or "really" understand what will be going on but it doesn't matter. It'll be our first Christmas with him and that's awesome.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">-----------<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Anyway....my friend Myrna & her daughter Sarah came to visit on Saturday for a few hours. <br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">It was great seeing them since they live so far away.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I have one photo to share.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">When Sarah arrived she immediately wanted to hold Jesse.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So Mommy set her up on the couch to safely hold him. <br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">While she looks down at him, this 2 & 1/2 year old little girl who I think is going on 16 looks at baby Jesse and says<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">"You're sooo cute!" <br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">With the perfect tone of voice and expression, I totally cracked up laughing.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I was going to dress up this year but couldn't find some of my stuff. So I just went with wearing black and pumpkin earrings instead.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">We only had 13 kids...which still blows my mind when the next street over has around 90 kids.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Oh well that's why we give out "good" treats cause we don't have to buy as many....lol.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">How was your Halloween? Did you eat lots of candy?<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Change is as inevitable as rain in the spring.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Some of us just put on our raincoats and splash forward.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Every year Kristen is like a kid at Christmas when its the night before opening day.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Normally he doesn't care to shoot a deer the first day since he loves the outdoors so much that it's not a big deal. He'd rather enjoy the experience, be outside and just take the day as it unfolds.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">However, this year his goal was to get a deer as quickly as possible so he could have more time home with baby Jesse.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And up until Tuesday evening he just wasn't having any luck. It seemed all the odds were stacked against him.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">On Tuesday he headed back out immediately after work, I said you better get one tonight. He's like I will, I have a good feeling.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And he wasn't wrong....here's this years Buck. Quite big for a deer eh? <br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXozQxraozW68bk9BtgV3eVgAI3lZUBvahAFzwKosHbrp6dQ7naHd8oF8q-weTbu8Knga39vh98uiTVVDzJcg5H7pY8GrcURJe3yTQp5dIuYy5N3OulpYdN4ik7UUuRErzeiBwwA/s320/Big%20Buck.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXozQxraozW68bk9BtgV3eVgAI3lZUBvahAFzwKosHbrp6dQ7naHd8oF8q-weTbu8Knga39vh98uiTVVDzJcg5H7pY8GrcURJe3yTQp5dIuYy5N3OulpYdN4ik7UUuRErzeiBwwA/s400/Big%20Buck.jpg" vr="true" /></a><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm so proud of him. Not only did he get his deer "early" season but it's a trophy buck that he'll be having the head/antlers mounted. Not really my thing....and we'll probably have quite the heated debate as to where in our house it will be displayed...but that's no time soon so we'll leave that discussion for another day...LOL :)<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">How life has changed these past 4 weeks, yep Jesse will be 4 weeks old tomorrow. <br />
So tonight I'm going to post a few photos that we've taken over the last few weeks in hopes to get everyone caught up on what's been going on with us lately.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">First a photo of Boone, who is doing AWESOME with Jesse. He's been so mellow and honestly he almost seems understanding about my lack of mobility when Jesse is feeding. I think I love Boone even more than ever.<br />
