Ten on Tuesday

1. We got back late last night from a wonderful visit in Regina. Maya got to spend time with her grandma and grandpa, a couple of uncles, a sweet aunt, and two crazy cousins.

2. I am amazed at how a 31/2 year old boy and a 2 year old boy can be so in love with a 3 month old baby girl.

3. Maya is enjoying trying out her new wardrobe handed down from above mentioned crazy cousins. (sorry no picture available at time of printing)

4. Maya stayed awake and happy all through gymboree today. This is a first for us.

5. I got to scrapbook with my sister last Friday. Fun times!

6. Maya is asleep now and I hopefully (keep your fingers crossed) won't see her until the morning.

7. 4 more sleeps until we go to the cabin and then on to Spokane for a holiday (for me and Maya) and conference (for Andrew). We are staying in what looks like a swanky hotel. I hope Maya doesn't poo in their pool.

8. I really need to download some pictures off my camera.

9. More of my friends keep popping out babies. I think I've been invited to 3 baby showers and have heard of 2 more pregnancies this week!

10. I thought spring was here to stay and then we got a couple inches of snow today. Boo!

Happy Belated St. Patrick's Day

We just got back from a wedding in Saskatchewan. Our friends Rob and Amber (yes, just like to reality TV couple) got married on Saturday. Because of Amber's Irish background and of course the date of the wedding, there was a St. Paddy's Day theme to the whole wedding. We had a great time and Maya was very well behaved and seemed to enjoy the party.


Maya is turning out to be an excellent traveller. This is great because we have so many places we would like to take her. On this trip, she spent 6 hours in the car each way and had to spend 2 nights in a hotel.

Project Playdate: Success

Well our first playdate is over and I think overall it was successful. In total we had 5 babies (4 boys + Maya) and 5 moms.

I brewed coffee (I felt very grownup!) and served muffins that my mommy made me (I felt a little bit like a kid again).

Lots of chat, lots of babies playing, lots of babies crying, and lots of babies eating.

I would have loved to have taken a picture of all the babies lined up on the couch, but it seemed as though all afternoon there was always 1 eating, crying, or sleeping. Next time I guess.

I Love Somebunny

And I think somebunny loves me too!

Ten on Tuesday

1. Sunday was +15 C, today I woke up to several inches of fresh snow... yuck!
2. I am hosting my first playdate on Thursday. So far I have 2 moms and 2 little boys coming over.
3. Today was Gymboree. Maya had her best ever at tummy time, she held her head up and stared at all the other babies.
4. Gilmore Girls is a repeat tonight, what'll I do now?
5. Walmart was all out of size 1 pampers, how does that happen?
6. Only 8 more sleeps until Maya and I visit Regina.
7. It's 3 pm and my dinner has been cooking in the crockpot since 9am. It smells delicious.
8. I bought some latex nipples today. Maybe now Maya will take a bottle.
9. Today Maya is wearing her Parade lounge set. It's organic and the tag says that it's sweatshop free, I really hope none of her clothes were made in a sweatshop!
10. This has been my first "10 on Tuesday". How'd I do?

I'm Back

After taking a long break from blogging, I've decided to give it another go. I won't try to catch up on everything that's happened since August, I will just jump in where I am now. I will give one highlight of the last 7 months.... our dear sweet Maya was born on December 31, 2006.

This is her at 2 months.
