A Busy, but Special Day

Today is my Davey's birthday. He's at work, and I'm home trying to get myself organized. I got up just after Dave left and made him his favourite cookies. Then I started to tidy the house. Tonight I'm leading Bible study here and the house needs a good clean, plus I have to prepare for it, talk about procrastination! Then I have to run to the mall to get my ring cleaned and pick up a few small things to finish off Dave's gift. I have to stop in at Home Depot to get a gift card for his brother, who's b-day is on Friday, then I have to go to Home Hardware after that! ahhhh. Caleb is now sleeping, so I'm going to hop in the shower quick.

Monday we went to the zoo, here's a few shots of that. We had a great time there. Caleb did so well for being out for a whole day like that. He liked the fish. We had so much fun. I felt like a kid again.






Well I better keep going! I have eat some lunch sometime too!

Hilarious

Oh my word, I switched the tv on at 12:30 today, and of course being Saturday there insn't anything on. Well I decided to see what "Adventures in Hollywood" was on MTV and I have never laughed so much at a show like this one. It's crazy! I don't even know how to describe it, but if you get a chance to see it, it's worth checking it out for a good laugh!

Anticipation

I'm getting so excited for June 2! Just on Monday night, Christa called and asked if I was still interested in going to see Hillsong United in Toronto, and I said absolutely! So she ordered us 3 tickets from a youth group. I'm going with Christa and Amanda and I totally can't wait. I haven't been to a concert in ages. I used to go to them all the time! It will be so much fun!

Today is supposed to be a hot one out there! I don't have much planned for today, maybe walking back uptown to get my pictures I've developed. We'll see. Last night we had baseball. I can honestly tell you that I'm better at something than a guy on our team (ah hum....Graham Roe!) I have better accuracy when it comes to throwing a ball. Let me tell you why....for starters he was "warming up" with another guy and ended up throwing a ball and hitting Joy (who was sitting on the bench off the field) square in the forehead. Then through out the game he was playing short stop (bad mistake) and totally screwed up throwing to first and occasionally home. They either went flying in the dirt or flying way over the fence.

I'm hoping that next week Dave might takes us to the zoo. That would be so great. But we'll see. From Elmira it could take us 2 hours to get there. That's a long time in the car. But still, it would be so much fun, I haven't been in years!

As per Sally's Request and for Little Brooke!

Mommies Day

My first Mother's Day was a nice day, but a busy one. First, my hopes of being able to let Dave take care of all of Caleb's needs quickly disappeared as the poor guy woke up sick. His chest was all congested and he threw up a couple of times, so I did the normal things with Caleb on top of that worried about my poor Dave. We went to church and there I got a flower. After church we grabbed KFC and headed to my parents for the afternoon. It was nice. The weather was great, Dave and I walked to the pond and saw some baby geese and in the barn we cuddled 4 brand new kittens. We had supper there and then headed back home. Once home we had the in-laws over for dessert. By the end of the day I was tired. But I really enjoyed it.

Caleb has a cold, he's all stuffed up. He hasn't slept through the nights these past few days, he's been waking up crying, but once he gets his soother, he goes back to sleep. We had swimming on Monday, and he really enjoys that.

Last week we had baseball start up again. That was interesting! My first time up at bat was enlightening. I hit the ball pretty good, but when it came time to run. Oh my word! I haven't run in over a year, and let me tell you, I need practise! I felt so old, and I didn't make it to the base on time! I was jiggly in parts I was never "jiggly" before (my belly). I'm not sure I'll ever have a normal tummy anymore! But after that first run as the game went on I got better. To practise somewhat I would run out to the field when it came time to do that. Then I played again on Thursday and yes, it was better. Hopefully by the end of summer it will feel somewhat normal again.

Mmmm I love Sweet Potatos....

You can kind of see his two bottom teeth too....

A Very Special 40th Anniversary

It was 40 years ago today, that my parents tied the knot! So to celebrate, my whole family (except Denise because she had to work and couldn't get out of it) came to my place, and from there we went to the Mandarin for lunch. After stuffing ourselves full, we came back here and just visited. It was so nice outside.

The rest of this past weekend, I went on a women's retreat with church. It was a one night away at Conestoga Bible Camp, which is only about 30 mins away. It was the first women's retreat there that was put on, and there was 47 ladies that went. It was a lot of fun. Our sessions were dvd sessions with Beth Moore, and we learn how to Love Well. It was great, she's so funny and yet very passionate about God's word. Dave had a good time home alone with Caleb. He was a lucky guy too, because when I got home, I was the first to discover a poopy diaper. I so badly wanted Caleb to have a blow out diaper while I was gone, but no such luck!

Caleb now has to 2 bottom teeth. They are really poking up. He's growing up too fast!

This week baseball starts up, which is exciting. I'm looking forward to playing some baseball. I just hope I can run! ha ha ha. Oh ya, the other thing that is new, is I got bangs. I think they look alright. Some of my friends here think I should get shorter hair too, but I'm too chicken to do that. We'll see, maybe one day I'll be brave enough!

I'm tired, after having such a full tummy, I think I'll have a great sleep!
