the fire......what's left that is.....

I'll use red because it seems so fitting....Here are some pictures of what it left. It doesn't bother me anymore, not much I can do about it anyway. Things are starting to happen with the insurance company but I will fill you in as we go!

So the fire started in the kitchen in the wiring attached to the light which was just below my bedroom.

This is what is left of Tyson's bed.

This is Darin's dresser.

This is looking out our closet to the outside. I must tell you though before the fire that hole in the roof wasn't there!

This is sanding in the kitchen looking up into our bedroom.

This is Dalton's bedroom. The walls are white I might add!

My bedroom.

My bed.

My dresser.

The house from the back where it is all boarded up.

A view from the side where it got up into the rafters.

My kitchen ceiling.

And finally when you stand at my kitchen door looking where a ceiling once was but is now gone, so you can see straight upstairs.

I'll update more tommorrow.

House fire.....

For those of you who don't know... we had a house fire on the 9th. We were all home and everyone was and is fine. We lost pretty much everything, the smoke overcame the house and wrecked everything. We are waiting for the insurance company who seems to work at a snails pace.We have inventoried the house, you learn so much about what your not going to do again. For example... collect stuff. You never really know how much you have until your loading it into a dumpster. Not to mention to see your house burn up and loose everything you have at the same time. Everything you have had since you started your life as a adult. Gone. Hardest part is the kids loosing everything , they will never understand. Tyson asks every night to go home and go to bed with Mommy. Now he says the house is "broken"!
We are staying with friends, for now. Scott and Colleen. The boys godparents. They have been great to us! I will update and add pictures as soon as I have consistant assess to a computer. Thanks for everyone's concerns, love and prayers.

Beautiful Weekend...

Well... I must say it was a wonderful weekend here in ontario! There is nothing better than getting outside in the fresh air and going for a walk or in my case chase Tyson! Especially out of the mud puddles!
Saturday was lovely we ended up out on a drive all the way to Buckhorn whick is about 2 or so hours from our house. Some drive. Along the way we went to the cheese factory for some curd, to the chocolate factory for some chocolate then after we got home we finished out the night at Denny's for supper.
After that we headed home. Frank our next door neighbour was having his 50th birthday. We went over to the party until about 12am then Tyson and I headed home I'm not sure when Dalton and Darin headed home. We had fun the kids all played and the grownups played cards. Some drank, we didn't.
Sunday was even nicer. Dalton and I cleaned out the van and after that we brought Tyson out to play on his tractor. He loved it. We didn't stay out long with him though after the week with the ear infection, we didn't want to make it any worse.
That was our weekend what did you do??
