4 years ago today I married this wonderful man. So thankful for the time we've had together, we've done a lot! - I look forward to many, many more years!

Jackson loves to crunch his legs up every time he is being held... I think he looks like a little frog!

This morning we picked up Chris' work van. This was such an answer to prayer!

May 27th, 2012

 

Best guy I know! - He is a great Dad who loves his kids and me!

Couldn't just pick one picture today... Love this picture of my two favorite men!

 

 Ri had fun trying on hats at Superstore today!

Doesn't she look like she could be their mom... Our kids have such a cool Nene.

Jackson met Great Grandma and Grandpa today! - Grandpa had a fun time hanging out with Ri today!

My mellow man.

Love my little man!

 

Riley got to see Nene this morning, she's still getting used to the idea that the face on Skype is in our house... But she did enjoy all the gifts she got today! - She wore her PJs ALL day long!

Tonight Jackson got to meet his Nene! - She came from across the ocean for the summer and we are so excited to have her! (Can't wait for the rest of the family to follow in a couple weeks!)

Something significant happened today... Jackson enjoyed his first hockey game with his Dad, I'm sure many more days like this will come! :-)

May 18th, 2012

 

Riley has decided that whenever Jackson is in the swing it's her job to push him... - She is still unsure as to what to make of this new little body in our home.

May 17th, 2012 - Best day of the year so far!

 

My most precious son Jackson Levi was born this morning at 8:22, he weighs 8 lbs 9 oz and is 21 inches long. So thankful that he arrived healthy and in comparison to his Big Sister, very quickly! - Thank you Jesus!

May 16th, 2012

 

I had a picture all set and ready to go for today, but something exciting happened just before midnight, my water broke! - Look at tomorrow's post for the more exciting picture! :-)

May 15th, 2012

 

Today I was tired... First day since I passed my due date last week that I'm feeling discouraged, tired and just done... Hoping baby chooses to come soon, also hoping that tomorrow is a better day!

Riley LOVED rockin' the sunglasses!

May 13th, 2012

 

So thankful for this crazy girl who made it possible for me to be a Mommy on Mother's Day! 

May 12th, 2012

 

Rockin' Auntie Rachel's sunglasses while in line for free frozen yogurt! - Ri got her first taste of it and LOVED it!

 

May 11th, 2012

 

We had a 'Big Sister' breakfast for Riley this morning, treasuring our last moments as a family of three!

May 10th, 2012

 

Riley LOVED playing in the pool today!

May 9th, 2012

 

Spent the evening pumping up the pool... Isn't that how everyone prepares for labour??? :-) Hoping I get to put this to good use soon!

May 8th, 2012

 

Planted lettuce with Riley today... Not the fun Mother-Daughter time I was hoping it would be, she liked scooping the dirt but as soon as we put that away she screamed and cried... O well, I got some cute pictures.

May 7th, 2012

 

Spent the morning enjoying the sun on our extremely dirty deck! :-) - Riley had so much fun and enjoyed a black bath afterward! Hoping for some rain here soon so I can spray off my deck and get it a bit cleaner!

May 6th, 2012

 

Watched the Amazing Race finale with a friend tonight. We tried her new Epicure steamer to make popcorn and it worked REALLY well. Maybe next time there will be a few less kernels though! :-)

May 5th, 2012

 

Not too much went on today... Family PJ day after an exhausting day/evening last night. Then Chris made me chicken wings and we watched a movie and played a game, good way to relax.

May 4th, 2012

 

Our fundraiser was a SMASHING success! - We raised a lot of money for our team going to Guatemala. God is so good!

May 3rd, 2012

 

Spent today making and icing TONS of cupcakes for our silent auction fundraiser tomorrow night! - Left them too close to the side of the counter though, I need to remember Riley is getting taller... I walked into the kitchen to see her thoroughly enjoying a cupcake in each hand, that little munchkin!

May 2nd, 2012

 

Mmmm, yummy... Frozen Yogurt in Airdrie with Rachel today! - This baby needs to come so I stop taking the van on Wednesdays for my midwife appointments, too tempting to just stop in after I pick Chris up! :-)

May 1st, 2012

 

Spent this evening reading and journaling, good way to end the day!

(side note: Starting my 5th month and I haven't missed a day! I'm loving this challenge!)
