From Rain to Sunshine

Yes, I am happy to be travelling with Lily today.  We are off to Calgary to visit good friends and also a day of work for me in our Calgary office.  I hear there is lots of sunshine there and it will last throughout our trip.  I am long overdue for some sunshine and I am hoping that is what will finally kick this nasty virus in the ass and leave my system. 

My good friend will be staying in the house to take care of the other baby.  You know the one.  The big hairy, demanding and needy one.  So it will also be a nice break from the demands of the Char Char.

Some sweet photos of last summer (I am dreaming of this summer to come).

Mother's Day Love

I had such a memorable Mother's Day with Lily.  It was the best I could ever hope for with lots of cuddles, kisses and big smiles all day. 

Lily woke up Saturday late from sleep with a big fever so I popped her into my bed so I could be close and worked to get the fever down so we both could go back to sleep.  We both woke up at 9:25am.  I couldn't believe it and we missed our gymnastics class .  Lily was feeling much better so we went to a brunch at Auntie A' house where Lily was able to play with Jack and Sam.  We spent most of the day with them minus a nap back home.

Lily was very clingy to me all day and into the evening.  Holding her in my arms I had this great sense of calm and thought I couldn't have asked for anything better this day than the affection Lily was showing me at that moment.  It truly was heaven! 

Here are a couple pics from the weekend  at my sister's house where we celebrated her parents-in-laws 60th wedding anniversary and as well some lovely moments on Mother's Day.
