Getting bigger ------->
Check out the baby in the bubble... it sure feels like it is getting tighter in here. I am so excited that there are less than 3 months left. I'm starting to feel the need to have all the baby things purchased in case it comes early.

May Long Weekend
Well we are still waiting for spring to stick around out here in Lloydminster. It seems that some snow is coming the next couple days but should be 22 degrees by Saturday. We shall see. I would like to plant some things outside without them dying. This past week... well perhaps the last month continues to be crazy. It is so fun having a house with 'projects' to do. Hopefully they don't get old too fast.
On Tuesday we saw Emerson Drive in concert. Right here in Lloydminster too! It was great fun and Bean sure seemed to enjoy the loud music.
On Friday my sister-in-law Cora made the long trek from Calgary to come see us and it was great fun! We wish that more family lived nearby. She helped us out with some yard work and I caught a picture of her in her Farmer Maisie outfit (Ian's borrowed clothes). I must say though that yard work is getting pretty exhausting as I am now 6 months along. I was hurting the last couple days but seem to have recovered.
After the yard work we had a big Housewarming BBQ party with a big gang of friends from the branch. There were about 40 people there (half of which were children). It was great to have so many kids running around. Ian and I have both been feeling that our house is so empty since everyone left. Luckily it was warm enough (though cloudy) to stay outside for the duration. I think next weekend I will be ready for another party! Thanks to all our friends for coming out and making our house more homey!
Ian and I have enjoyed this last holiday break before school is out. I am trying to savour the last 2 weeks I have of sleeping in before I teach full time for the last month. I just know I am going to burn out quick. I just keep telling myself "it is only one month". 25 grade two-ers are hard to keep up with.
The waddle continues to develop as my tummy is growing and the numbers on the scale are actually moving up now at a steady rate (yikes). Hopefully these last 3 months don't involve too much growth. Our little girl seems healthy and strong (still making me feel sick on a regular basis) though she has already grown quite stubborn. She seems to refuse to 'perform' for Daddy or anyone else for that matter. When she kicks I try to get Ian to feel it but as soon as his hand is on there she just won't kick anymore. What a turkey!
Last news of all I recently learned that I am finally going to be an auntie!!!!! And double time. My sister is having twins and we are thrilled. We just wish that they didn't live so far away in Switzerland.
I hope you all had a great long weekend as well..... just can't wait for spring to stay!

Mother's Day
I can't say enough about how excited I am to be a Mother... I feel so blessed to have this baby girl join our family. I am so grateful to be feeling healthy and strong again and even more grateful to have the sun shining. It seems that if the sun is out that everything in the world will be okay... that we can get through it.
I am so grateful for my mother. For what she taught me and for the love she showed by sacrificing and serving her family. I am grateful for all the friends I have who do their best everyday to be good mothers to their children.
Here are some pictures of our Mother's Day Weekend!

2 Years
Today is our 2nd anniversary! Wow, these past two years have seemed so much longer than that. Remember when you were a kid and sitting through an entire school year seemed like ETERNITY? Well the last 2 years have flown past but have still seemed like they have always been this way. I forget what life was like single.... I seem to remember not liking it though!
I can't express how wonderful it has been to have such a great man in my life. Ian is my favourite person and I love spending everyday with him. He will be such a wonderful father and I am so excited to see him with his little girl.
He brought home some beautiful roses today... and has been so great with helping getting our new house set up. We are so excited to be in our own home.
More exciting pictures to come with this ever growing and moving baby girl, spring/summer bbq's on our new deck, mother's day adventures and general home fun.
