Wherefore Art Thou - Cookies

Life is moving faster than I imagined.  Lily is moving faster than I can catch her.

Back on Track

Our trip to Calgary was full of love and fun and family.  Although we did not visit family per say...my Calgary family just feels that way to me and they embraced Lily as family.  My two godsons were amazing with Lily and just doted on her, protected her and spent much time making her laugh.  She loved them but in competition for her attention was the two "kiey cahts", Tigheer and Peebpars (tiger and peepers).

Lily on her new phone ...wonder what she is talking about?

More photos to follow but for now it is "night nights"

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.

Easter Eggs and Family Too

Happy Easter Weekend Everyone!

Playing at the Farm with lots of room to Run



Auntie ME has a special basket for Lily.

 Although I was a little upset about not getting to Calgary this weekend, we did try to make the best of a weekend that promised rain.  I love when Mother Nature does not keep her promises because both Saturday (later) and Sunday were lovely days with a shining sun.  Gosh it felt good to have the warmth on our faces.

After spending time with Erik's family at his parents farm we packed up the car one more time and headed to the country north/east of Barrie to Auntie ME's house.  We got there just in time to join in with the family for a breakfast of crepes, hot cross buns and lots of chocolate!

I see you.



Lily quickly got into the spirit of finding eggs.
