{5} Photos for Friday - May 17th

Scott has been behind the camera a bit more these days...

(where's baby sister?)

(happy gardener)
(wait till he sees what having an actual backyard will be like!)
(ps- my photo, quite obviously...)

Mother's Day {2013}

It was a lovely day.

Started with a pretty breakfast (after a nice sleep in)...

Then some Mother's Day goodies...

(esp excited to lay out in the sun in my new chair)
(on our LAWN)

After church and a nap, we headed out to play and meet family at Riley Park...

Si was a wild man and loved the space to run and all the people to play with. 

I'm blessed to have a loving mother.

I'm blessed to have a son who astonishes me on a daily basis. 

I'm blessed to have another baby (daughter?!) on the way. 

I'm blessed to walk this path with Scott.

I'm blessed, in all things, as a child of God and give Him thanks for every part of my life. I pray for continued guidance to parent well...and a bit of extra patience and strength.

Hello.

Once again, sorry for the lack of blogging these past months. I hope that today marks the "return" of routine and more regular posts.

What we've been up to the past while...

(robot building)

(moving trauma)

(easter egg hunting)

(helping daddy build)

(pantless adventures)

(big boy bed sleeping)

(and falling out of big boy bed adventures)

(picture taking)

(trouble making)

(more handy man work)

(cookie making)

(story reading)

(first Tim Horton's drinking)

(wild hair mornings)

(new play grounds, new toys)

(dish washing)

(super cute posing)

(lots of learning)

(if you follow me on instagram, I apologize for the many repeats!)

And a teaser for an upcoming post:

(Hawaiian adventures...)

Lasts...

...last baths

...last sleeps

...last walks around the neighbourhood and plays at "the" park

...last boxes closed

...last lights turned off.

We will miss this place.

Our home.

But we are thankful for a new place to call {make!} home.

And are excited for the firsts that will be coming our way shortly.

Photos for Friday {March 22} - by Simon

Simon has taken to using my iPhone. His favourite feature (which he can get to all on his own) is the camera. Here is a selection of his photography...

(self portrait)

(truck on the go)

(mom in her sorry state)

(kitchen)

(yet another self portrait)

(cool dude dad)

(on the run)

A {little} bit of news...

(my apologies about the giant lack of blog posts these past weeks/months)

BUT...we have a pretty legitimate excuse:

Baby #2 is in progress!

(set to arrive somewhere around September 20th)

(found out late January)

(Simon is excited...but really doesn't have a clue that his world is going to be rocked in some pretty significant ways)

(ultrasound - March 11th)

It's been a pretty rough go so far but it seems like things might be making a turn for the better. Thanks to everyone who has stopped by to help out. I honestly don't know how we would've survived without you. Thanks also to SCOTT who has gone above and beyond both husbandly and fatherly duties...he's incredible and the only reason our family is still functioning at all!
