Friday Afternoon
Mom & Reece & I took some more pictures yesterday after picking up Reece from school. The fog was still hanging in there over the water below, but the mountains in the distance were quite clear.

Foggy Morning
When Mom & I took Reece to school this morning, it was very foggy. By the time we reached the top of the Malahat Mountain it was beautiful and sunny, so we stopped to take a few pictures. Looking down on the fog is really cool.

Tooth Aches
Mom had a very bad toothache on Monday and Tuesday due to a lost filling in a molar at the very back of her mouth. Eventually the pain was so bad she had to have it removed on Wednesday. She's doing better now that the pain is gone.
During the two aching days, she researched a bunch of different natural pain relievers until she could get an appointment. Most of them work, (and in pain, you will try them all), but the best was swishing Vodka around and spitting it out, then rinsing with salt water.
Here are some other remedies found on the Internet:
Home remedy of a toothache with clove oil
Application of clove oil to the aching tooth is best to reduce pain and also removes any kind of tooth infection. This is a very effective home remedy of a toothache. Clove oil contains eugenol, a natural pain killer and antibacterial.
Toothache relief using garlic
Among the most effective toothache relief is garlic. A clove of garlic with a little rock salt should be placed on the affected tooth. It will relieve the pain and, sometimes, may even cure it. A clove should also be chewed daily in the morning. It will make the cure teeth making it strong and healthy.
Toothache remedy with hydrogen peroxide
Rinse your mouth out with hydrogen peroxide. This will kill the infection and relieve tooth pain. This really works. Follow-up with hot salt water rinse.
Toothache pain relief with pepper and salt
Apply a mixture of a pinch of pepper powder and a quarter teaspoon of common salt on the aching tooth as it will give relief.
Easy home remedy of toothache using ice
Gently rubbing an ice cube in the area between the forefinger and the thumb for several minutes is an effective toothache remedy, as it eases toothache. It acts by overwhelming the pain impulses that usually travel along the nerve pathways. It has a 60 to 90% success rate. Ice placed directly on a throbbing tooth also helps ease the pain.
Toothache home remedy with onion
Cut a piece of fresh onion and place it on the side of your mouth where the tooth ache is coming from. It works almost immediately. And if you begin to feel a little pain again, just very slightly bite into the onion, just enough to let some juice escape. This works great for tooth aches that keep you awake at night or from doing work during the day.
Toothache cure with vanilla extract
Just grab some vanilla extract put a 1/2 teaspoon full in your mouth and let it rest on the tooth that hurts.
Ease severe toothache with hot wet washcloth
Apply a hot wet washcloth to the areas of tooth pain until pain subsides…repeat as many times as needed… It will amaze you… works for extreme toothache pain.
Stop toothache with wheat grass
The juice of wheat grass is an excellent mouthwash for tooth decay and a natural toothache remedy. It also draws out the toxins from the gums and checks bacterial growth.
Prevent toothache with spinach
Chewing fresh leaves of spinach makes the gums strong and prevents toothache caused by dental caries and tooth decay.

Malahat Summit
Mom & Dad finally got a new camera, so Mom took a couple of pictures at the top of the Malahat yesterday to see how well the zoom worked. I was sleeping in the car at the time. But looks like the shots turned out well!

Happy New Year!
On New Year's Eve, I had a special "Big Tub" bath in Mommy & Daddy's bathroom. I missed the excitement at midnight, but I'm sure one year I will want to stay up to see what happens when the year changes.

Christmas Day
I had so much fun on Christmas! I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw Santa had left presents in my stocking and under the tree. I played with toys for the best part of the day without a nap. It was great! Daddy finally dug the van out of the snow so we were able to make it to Granny & Grandpa's house for dinner. While we were there I was able to talk on the phone to my Uncle Hugh in Scotland. It's the first time I've talked to Scotland, and it was midnight there. I think it was also the first time I have been able to put two words together for my Uncle Hugh! We had a nice Christmas dinner with Uncle Scott and Karlie, and Granny & Grandpa. I sure missed Amber & Reece, but Mom says we are going to have dinner and presents all over again today! It is official,.. I absolutely LOVE turkey.

Waiting for Santa
My Mom & Dad could not get their cars to budge in the snow today. It snowed a lot last night, and even more through out the day. I didn't mind being inside playing with them. They can be a lot of fun.
I am really excited that Santa is on his way to Canada soon, and I am going to put out some cookies and milk for him before I go to bed.
Merry Christmas Everyone!

Another Snow Storm!
We went out and played in the snow today. There was so much of it, I had a difficult time getting anywhere. Dad couldn't even get the van out of the driveway because the snowplow has piled over 3 feet of snow at the end of it!

Snowed in!
I had so much fun in the snow today! I don't really remember seeing all this white stuff last year, but from the pictures it seems to me I have grown a lot!
The snow started to fall last night...and it hasn't stopped yet!

Christmas Excitement
Mom has started to bring out more and more decorations for Christmas. I tried on my first Santa hat from when I was 6 months old,..it doesn't fit anymore! I must have grown or something. What was really exciting was waiting for the shortbread cookies to come out of the oven. I absolutely LOVE them!
