.Grandma and Grandpa in Canada

20120811 home (22) edit

My parents came and spent a week with us right after Ames was born. It was so wonderful to have them here! We haven’t had the pleasure since our wedding reception 4 years ago.

This is only their 26th grandchild, but its the very first time they’ve EVER spent a whole week with one as a newborn! We’re so lucky we got to have them! It was so much fun!

My Mother is wonderful… She happily did the dishes and laundry every day, changed diapers, made lunches, and held Ames as much as she could!



My Dad mowed our neglected forest lawn and helped out with all kinds of renovating work.


My parents would never complain, but Air and I were kinda worried that they would go the whole week just working and helping us out at home—so we made sure to give them a fun tour of our city!

Um. We love Edmonton!

We made sure they tried a poutine and Tim Horton’s donuts. A true Canadian vacation.

And we got to visit the Gusa’s for dinner too! I’m pretty sure this cherry dessert my Mother-in-law made was the best. thing. ever.

Doesn’t this make it look easy? Too easy?

Well it wasn’t easy. But it was so so so SO WORTH IT!

We are in love with this boy…

Now stop distracting me, blog, I’ve gotta go stare at Ames! (and try to absorb some of his sweetness)

.Anniversary the 4th

20120809 Ames at home (7) edit

Since we’ve been married, Air and I have had some really fantastic Anniversaries, and they’ve all been extremely special to us.

This year trumped them all when our boy Ames was born the evening before our day. We spent our entire Anniversary this year in a really nice hotel hospital room as a more complete family of 3. In complete bliss.

Our lives changed last Tuesday evening when our sweet little boy arrived.

Straight from heaven.

Ames (pronounced like James without the J) was born at 8:30pm on August 7th.

8lbs 2oz.

19.5 inches.

Plenty of dark hair.

Soft pink skin.

And the most lovely little cry you’ve ever heard.


I love Aaron, he loves me. We love Amesy, yes siree. Ames loves us and so you see—we are a happy family.
