.Big news!

Air and I are excited to announce that we are expecting baby #2!

Coming to the world on or around October 26th. At which point Ames can begin to prove himself worthy of wearing this shirt. *wink-wink*

We had a lot of fun announcing this to our families last month. Facetime with my parents:

And we had Aaron’s family over and let them figure it out when they saw his shirt… that was fun.

Otherwise… I have to mention now how terribly ill and tired I have been for the past month and how that is my only good excuse for abandoning this blog... and almost all of the other projects on my to-do-list. So sorry… but hopefully I start feeling like myself again real soon.

.Weekend in Calgary

So, like I said, we spent a weekend in Calgary this month and had so much fun staying with our friends, the Harkers! We love their cute little kiddos and their beautiful home and especially we love Russ and Amy… We are lucky to have such good people as friends.

We had an awesome time with them at the zoo on Saturday. Air and I have been dying to take Ames to a zoo again now that he knows all the animals and obsesses over the Lion King and all of his Lion King toys. It was wonderful! Here are the pictures:

  

↓↓↓Here we are showing Ames “Timon” (meerkats). He was excited↓↓↓

↓↓↓When he saw the lions he just kept saying “Lion King seeping” and walking away? It was pretty funny↓↓↓

↓↓↓the three baby boys in the kangaroo pouch↓↓↓

↓↓↓I took this picture of the camels, then turned and found Air watching them making this face↓↓↓

 

↓↓↓This is Todd, performing a flawless elephant impression↓↓↓

 

↓↓↓Ames loves holding hands↓↓↓

↓↓↓admiring the “Pumbaa’s” (warthogs). He was singing Hakuna Matata when I took this picture↓↓↓

↓↓↓We had an amazing show from the tiger pacing back and forth in front of us. Pretty exciting↓↓↓

↓↓↓Air’s family has a tradition of taking pictures with this particular statue. It’s cute!↓↓↓

↓↓↓Ames was excited and nervous to sit on the “Lion King”↓↓↓

 

↓↓↓and just like last time we went to the zoo… Ames was out cold as soon as we got in the car↓↓↓

As were Air and I… completely exhausted! Thanks for the fun time, Harkers—can’t wait to come again!

.Happy St Patrick's Day

Happy St Patrick’s Day!

We aren’t doing much today… Aaron is working late and Ames and I are eating dinner without him... Tonight we’ll have FHE and hopefully do some work on our bathroom renovation.

It’s been a little while since I’ve updated the blog again. We’ve been pretty busy and I really should be updating you on all of it. Soon I’ll tell you all about how Ames is obsessed with Lion King… and how he loves to say “come on” and grab your hand and pull you everywhere with him… and about our bathroom renovations… and about our weekend trip to Calgary… and about Air’s health and things all the tests have found… and about the snow finally melting and Spring beginning.

So many things!

But for now, we’re chillin’ at home and wearing green.

.29

Here I am, beginning the final year of my twenties and still feeling and acting (and apparently looking) like I’m about 18. When will I grow up!?? haha

I had the. best. day. ever. Thanks to Air beginning his vacation from work on this day. We started the day out by working on our en suite reno and facetime-ing with my parents. Lovely.

After Ames’ nap we headed out to Air’s Dr appointment, where Ames and I found a nice little trail to walk up and down (while we waited for Air to talk to the endocrinologist about his MRI results. Yikes). It was a pretty nice day.

 

↓↓↓there’s a cute little squirrel with an orange tail looking at us in the center of this photo↓↓↓

From there we went to the mall for lunch and played at a little baby play area. Then we went to Target and bought my gift (yay!).

We had dinner with Tam and Jadey at Cafe Del Sol and forgot to take a picture… Dang.

Then the whole family came over for some cake!

    

↓↓↓Ames mooched and mooched↓↓↓

  

Thank you to everyone who sent cards and gifts and everyone who wrote nice messages on facebook and etc. It made the day that much more special.

My parents gave me an awesome kitchen timer (I loooove it) and a nice kitchen knife too. Air’s parent’s gave me a candle and chocolate (perfect).

Air gave me this bench:

…and I am in love.
