Abby and I took a trip to one of my favourite photo locations on Monday. The Agricultural History Farm Park in Derwood. Abby was so excited to see the pigs and baby goats. We also spent alot of time visiting the chickens and the nats which would not leave us alone. I swear nats are worse this year than I have ever seen. I've been trying out my new camera alot with Abby to get lots of practice, so far I love it! This is the last week of Abby's summer camp (sniff, sniff), I'm very sad and kind of wish I would have found something else for her to do for the rest of the summer. But I'm also looking forward to spending lots of time with her while it's just the 2 of us.

Poor Abby, she is sick with a high fever :( I don't like it when her fevers go to 104.8, it's very scary. Hopefully whatever it is will go away soon and we can do something fun for Father's Day.

I got Abby some sidewalk paint (by Crayola) the other day, it's pretty awesome. She painted for an hour so anything that can keep my 3 yr old occupied for that long is amazing in my book. I have benn enjoying some mornings to myself while Abby is at camp, next week is the last week I'm going to be sad when it's over. Hopefully we can do some fun stuff this summer, I think a trip to Sesame Place is in order. As long as there is shade and I can sit down I think I can handle it. Being pregnant in the summer is going to be interesting, at least the clothes are cuter than the winter ones I wore with Abby. I see lots of Halloween themed parties in this little boy's future :)

This time I'm serious. I'm going to update my blog on a regular basis. It's going to be pretty embarassing if I don't do it this time since all my previous blog posts say the same thing. I have been on the downlow for a month or so but I'm feeling better now...why you say? I'm in my second trimester :) I wasn't feeling too hot in the first, there was lots of movies watched and naps taken and the camera was only brought out for clients. Now that the weather is nicer and I have a bit more energy it's time to become the mamarazzi again. We went to the park yesterday with some friends. Abby has been dying to go to the park for the last few days but it was plain old yuck outside so we jumped at the chance to enjoy some semi warm weather and no rain. 3 is an interesting age so far, lots of boundaries are being tested and sometimes it's really no fun at all. But most of the time it is and I'm really trying to be calm and explain things when things get hairy instead of pulling out my hair.

February 2, 2011: Joy of Love {Day 2}

Today's assignment was "what they look like" so I chose to photograph Abby in all her finery. She is very much into playing dress up and putting on play jewelry at the moment.

February 1, 2011: Joy of Love Day 1

today's theme is what your loved ones do...so this is what my hubby does :) works really hard to provide for us.

January 31, 2011 Catch Up

Here are some pics from my hubby's birthday, Abby was so excited about it. She helped me make the cake, we made a Big Top Cupcake. So fun and it came out really cute :)
I'm starting this photography course for the month of February called "The Joy of Love" so each day I will have a photography assignment, I am going to try to post my photo for each day on here, that is my goal!

2 1/2 is an interesting age, I guess technically she is over 2 1/2 now...so 33 months is a trying age. Some days I am just out of patience, some days I am out of fight, and some days I am super mom and can do it all. Abby is SUPER bossy right now, with everyone. Especially little boys, I don't know if this is normal girl behaviour but it's funny and a little troubling at the same time. Am I like that with my husband? maybe she is learning it from watching me like that stupid commercial lol. Today was a good day, we laughed, we played "Princesses and Super Heroes", we watched a movie, and we snuggled. Today was less about a power struggle and more about making a cardboard box into a pirate ship. I hope we have more of those days :)

Happy New Year!

Happy new year blog! sorry I'm 14 days too late...I will make it up to you I promise. I vow to update you more often, I've been inspired by a good friend. 2011 has been good so far...Abby has moved into her awesome new "big girl" room, also she is now fully weaned! (I am still waiting to get my trophy for nursing her for 33 months! lol) and I think she is on the road to potty training. My resolutions this year are to be more grateful, have more patience, and get preggers!
Here are some photos of Abby in her new room...

December 7, 2010

We are having a little problem lately in our house. Abby's mouth. It's got the sass in it. I think it's a toddler thing but, wow...it's starting to hurt my feelings. I got kicked yesterday. Out of anger. In the shin. It hurt. Today I wasn't allowed to sing along with Ariel in the car. I swear at lunch today she said, "whatever" to me. This is a phase right?

December 2, 2010

I had dinner tonight out with some girlfriends to celebrate birthdays, what is it about girls night out that is just so awesomefantasticrejuvenating? Even though we were all tired by 10 and so full we could barely move I feel like I've reconnected with my non-mommy self again, and I needed that. Being a mom is awesome but sometimes I wonder what happened to that girl who went out and danced till 4 am every weekend, is she still in here somewhere? Gosh I miss dancing, the only dancing I seem to do lately is to the Beauty and Beast soundtrack (and I have to be the Beast). Here are some photos from Abby and her dinner of champions, mac n cheese, dinosaur nuggets, and corn.

I'm so excited for Christmas, I love it-it's got to be my favourite time of year. My problem is I always have way to high expectations of how it's going to go. I need to lower them a bit I think. We are having it at our house this year and I can't wait to see Abby open gifts this year, she is so much older than last year (a whole year imagine that lol). Today we started celebrating by decorating gingerbread men or muffin men as Abby calls them, she watches too much Shrek.

November 23, 2010

so...it's been a while. I'm going to try to end the year keeping up with the blog and start the new year keeping it up all year this time!

Catch up!

August 25, 2010

We went on a playdate today with some of Abby's friends. She pretty much spent the whole time like this, in time out. She actually put herself in time out in the photo. Gotta love 2 yr olds!

For Shame!

*hanging head in shame* so...I'm really sorry blog. I haven't been keeping up. forgive me?
We have been busy, went to the Outer Banks, I've had photos sessions, life got in the way. I promise it won't happen again! lets hug it out...
