Coming Back

I just realized it’s been over a month since I last posted. There are so many ideas and posts floating around in my head and half finished as drafts, it surprises me a bit I haven’t published any of them. We have been busy though. My mom came out for a last minute visit and we [...]

Hi baby

Meredith and I were lying in bed together this morning and the baby was rolling and kicking quite vigorously. I asked Meredith if she wants to feel the baby and she nodded so I put her hand on my belly. It took a couple of tries, but eventually the baby did kick right where her hand [...]

Thanksgiving

We had a busy Thanksgiving weekend here. My twin sisters came to visit from Calgary. One of them has only visited once, and it was four or five years ago. The other has never been out here. So it was really neat to see them. I really haven’t spent much time alone with them in a [...]

Mother’s Day

On Sunday, we went to the Mother’s Day Paint-In at Hatley Castle. The weather was perfect; not too warm, and not too cold. We bought some handmade soap and fudge, ate good food, and wandered around the castle grounds. Hatley Castle would have been my first choice as a location to get married if it wasn’t [...]

Christmas Cookies

Merry Christmas! I thought I would share one of my favorite Christmas cookie recipes. These are so good. They’re actually better when they’re a day or so old. In fact, the first time I made them I had one hot out of the oven (because that’s just the way I eat cookies!) and I was disappointed [...]

Pictures!

So I’ve jumped on the NaBloPoMo bandwagon. November is post every day month. I’m not sure I’ll be able to do that, and I don’t want to end up just making fluff, filler posts to fill space, but we’ll see what I come up with. I think I may rope my darling husband into writing a [...]

Life in a nutshell

I’ve been really bad about keeping my blog up to date. Hopefully I still have readers out there! October was really busy for us, though (mostly) a lot of fun too.

We spent Thanksgiving with my relatives in Langley. My mom’s brother, sister, and mother all live there. In particular, I’m very close to one of my [...]

Rambling

I have so much I could write about that I keep putting off writing anything.

I could write about the barbecue we had on Saturday for Meredith’s birthday. It was a lot of fun, some of my favorite family from Vancouver showed up as well as some friends and one of Kris’ coworkers. Meredith had a [...]

Happy Birthday Meredith!

I can’t believe my little baby is a one year old and is toddling around now. We had a great time on her birthday. Kris took the day off and we planned to go to Salt Spring Island. Meredith and I slept in until 10 (and we’d wanted to catch the 11 ferry), so [...]

Happy Anniversary to Me

Yesterday was our anniversary. It was our 2 year wedding anniversary, but just over 9 years of being together. We went out for dinner, I made lemon bars (D2′s favorite), and otherwise we were very low key. We don’t really do the big, fancy gifts or anything. So in the morning I went out [...]
