Baby Fever

I have it again! Baby Fever! Meaning............. I think about having another baby (or babies?) !!

I know it will pass............................ sigh............. I have had it before. So, as a cure I am going to try to get my fill of "baby" when my sister has her second child next month!

I have to admit something though, when I read that Ms. Cathy (Murrayville Mom!) was expecting her 6th beautiful baby I was envious! Surely, I could have more! I could have ONE or TWO? more!? Right?

Growing Up So Fast!

Ahhhh, my little Darlings are growing up so quickly it seems! I know I don't even NEED to comment to anyone as to how fast time goes by!

They are 1 year, 5 months and 21 days old in the latest picture and only 1 month old in the other.

Happy Easter!

No Chocolate or Bunnies at our house this year. It is a pretty quiet Easter Holiday. We did go to "Easter at the Barn" this morning and that was fun! The kids really enjoyed the animals at the petting farm!

Don't ask me why this lamb is blue!? There was a pink one and a blue/pink dotted one as well! Silly if you ask me. I wonder if my kids will think that lambs are always blue? Nahhh, but I just don't get it?

I am making Thai Shrimp Curry for dinner tonight! Ya, not very traditional, but what the Hay! It is just us.

Happy Easter!

17 Months +

Ambrose & Maisie are SO very busy now! WOW! I can barely keep up some days! I am really taking advantage of the few breaks in the weather in this last week or so and getting them outside as much as possible to burn off some ENERGY! I thought it might also help to lessen the appeal of digging in the dirt in mommy's plants! Oh, man! That is an on going issue this week! To distract them I even tried dumping a bag of puffed wheat into a Rubbermaid container for them to "dig" and "stir" and "churn" their hands in, rather than my plants! It worked for about 10 minutes and was great fun until Ambrose started scooping cupfuls of puffs onto the carpet! So........ I don't know how effective my idea was because I STILL had to get out the vacuum at the end of it and vacuum up the mess - like I did with the plants! I will try it again, however, I think I would like to take the container out onto the deck on a warm day and let them go crazy! I am sure between the birds, dog and raccoon the spillage would be cleaned up!
I don't have any pics of this puffed wheat playing because I didn't want to let go of the container in fear of them tipping it over!! AND THEY WOULD HAVE!!





I caught Maisie with Daddy's shoes on!


Ambrose loves to PRETEND talk on the telephone! Hmmmm... I wonder where he see that!?

Another Month Gone By

Well there goes March!! (I don't think I took any pictures in March!)

The kids were both sick with some awful virus (cold like). Maisie was sick first and it lasted a solid week of her not being well at all and then of course we just got over that and a few days later Ambrose got it! And another solid week of it! I really have to be thankful and don't want to complain too loudly because they haven't been sick very much all and when they have it has been at the SAME TIME! I think I prefer it that way if I have a choice as opposed to them getting sick one at a time! It just drags on for too long that way! Yes, I guess it is a little harder having 2 sick, but then at least when it's done - it's done!

In between the kids being sick we did manage a trip one weekend to North Vancouver to SURPRISE Grandpa Allison / Angus / my father in-law / Andrew's dad ( Ya! THAT GUY!!! ) and to celebrate his birthday with a BIG family dinner! It was great to see everyone again even if only for a few hours.

We had one more birthday to celebrate near the end of March and that was Sharon's!!
(Grandma Allison / M-I-L / Andrew's mom!) It was a very special birthday and we celebrated it in Whistler along with Andrew's sister and her hubby and two daughters. So we were all together for the weekend+ and had a WONDERFUL TIME! I think I can speak for all of us? It was really very relaxing and so nice just to spend time with each other in such a relaxed setting! I would recommend doing something similar to other families and I would definitely do it again!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHARON!
