Michael Buble

Thanks to erin and Mike for treating me to Michael Buble last night. Mike ended up not being able to go so erin asked if i'd like to go. HELLO!!!! He was fantastic, we both said it was one of the best concerts we've been at. He actually makes the heart go pitter-patter. Paul if you're reading this, it's not like the pitter-patter you give me, this is different. Love you.

It's probably illegal to post this, but what the heck.

Thank You!

Paul and I just want to say thank you to all of our friends and family for being so sweet to us over the last few days. Thank you for the beautiful flowers and gifts, hot meals, phone calls (all the way from Panama)cards and kind words and of course the visits. Paul and I are so blessed to have such a wonderful circle of people around us that love and support us so much.

We are grateful.

The Best Sister in the Whole World

My sister truly is the best. She of course dropped everything in Edmonton and was here three hours after I got off the phone with her. She makes everything better. And Will LOVED having his Auntie here too. We were sad to see her leave.

Another day with Mr. Sicky Pants

Ah yes, another day with a sick baby. Will's third cold has now turned to a nasty cough. He coughed so much it's made him actually hoarse. Poor sweetie, I can tell his throat is sore too, because he usually cries after he coughs.

But bless his little heart if he isn't always in good spirits anyways. He was up in the middle of the night last night again as the coughing wakes him or keeps him up. But there is nothing in the world I love more than holding on to him and rocking him to sleep. He has become my snugly baby again and I'll take it any way I can get it. He puts his little head on my shoulder and wraps his legs around me and holds on for dear life. As I rocked him last night and prayed over him, I was reminded of what an awesome responsibility I have to look out for this little boy, and to comfort him and love him. He's putting all his eggs in my basket :o)

Visit with the Cousins

Will's cousin Shawn and his daughter Tea (Will's second cousin)came for a visit on Saturday. It was so great to see them as we haven't seen Tea since she was a new born. Of course it doesn't matter the age, children find a way to play together.

Cherry Pie!

Alas, what better way to celebrate a hard workout at Yoga, than to bake a home made Cherry Pie. Haha. Thanks to erin for putting the whole pie bug in my ear....I decided to bake a pie last night.

Now if you ask me, a truly great pie is all about the crust. I can't take all the credit for this crust as it is Erynn's mom's family recipe. BUT, i have made a couple secret additions to it of my own, which of course I will only reveal upon fear of death.

I have to say, it was really good pie. Now, the challenge will be to come up with some unique sort of filling. Fun. Thanks erin.

Happy New Year! & Happy 3rd Anniversary!

Paul and I had a wonderful time bringing in the New Year and celebrating our 3rd Anniversary last night. The Carmichael's invited us to join them for dinner at Pic Niq's. Following dinner, we went downstairs to Beat Niq's Jazz club where we had tickets to hear the band that night. It was actually a funk/Motown kind of band and it was so fantastic. We danced and had a really fantastic time. It was nice to actually go out on a date for our Anniversary.

A big thank you to Reg and Laura who watched our little man over night for us. They were so amazing with him, we really appreciated not having to worry about how he was or if he was having a good time. I think he was actually sad to leave when we picked him up in the morning. Thanks guys, you're the best.

Happy New Year my wonderful friends. Know that you are all so important to me and that I love you so very much.
