Boys will be boys...

They had been sitting in the house most of the day, glued to the T.V. Rain was the excuse of the day as to why they couldn't go outside and play. I went along with their reasoning, for a while, but the onslaught of " He kicked me!" , " I didn't mean to hit him, my fist accidentally connected with his face." I couldn't take it any longer so I gave them a choice either get your tiny butts outside or go lay on your beds in total silence. To my shock and disbelief (not really) they opted to go outside. Finally some peace and quiet, a good time to check my email/facebook etc...
A few minutes turned into about 20 minutes, no one had come in complaining of being teased or physically harmed so I thought I should go check on them. This is what I found...



Creation Calls

For me there is something about nature, the kind of nature you don't see everyday, that reminds me of the wonder of God and His majesty. On our recent trip to B.C, as we were really entering the beautiful rocky mountains, my mind started to reflect on how magnificent and awe inspiring His creation really is.
Many, many moons ago when I was living in the rocky mountain region, everyday taking in my beautiful surroundings, I happened upon a song that has become to mean a lot to me. I found a beautiful video to accompany it, hope you enjoy it as much as I did...

Sunday, quote of the day...

You are cordially invited to a dream....


We were in a rush, a whole group of us, in a foreign city with windy roads and speeding cars. I was hastily packing my bag overwhelmed at how much I still needed to find room for. As I looked around the room I shared with the girls I was travelling with I realized from their tidy luggage that I had better pick up speed as to not miss our plane.
I decided to drive to the airport with one of the girls that I didn't get along with all that well. We were driving down a fast moving highway and I was lost in thought. Having been rushed to pack I remembered that I still hadn't applied any make up so I dug out my make up bag, pulled open the passenger mirror that lit up and started to apply foundation.
The girl driving told me it was really distracting her, and it was at that moment I realized how nervous she really was driving on this windy, unfamiliar road. We had semi's on all sides and she was picking up speed to pass them, I think.
I quickly apologised and put the make up away. It was at that moment we were approaching a bridge, she was driving so fast, she didn't turn the wheel enough and we ended up hitting the guard rail head on.
From that moment everything went into slow motion. I saw pieces of the car breaking off and flying through the air, and I remember thinking to myself what is my family going to do without me.
~end of dream~

I woke up disturbed and when I think about it I shiver a bit inside. Strange dream.

Life has been busy, so busy blogging has been left on the back burner so to speak. But I have some moments right now as my little baby is sleeping to have some 'me' time on the computer.
I can't believe summer is finally here. Most of my days and nights are spent in the yard watering our new grass, which looks great if I do say so myself! I have been making countless trips to the local nurseries to pick out flowers, pots, little gizmo's for the garden etc. Yes, I love summer!!
We are heading out on an early summer vacation in the next little while. My darling husband keeps reminding me that he needs to get away for a while so we will be packing up and road tripping it in a few days.
There are some wonderful spots in the Canadian Rockies that we want to explore and the place we are staying is kid friendly, equipped with a heated pool and hot tubs! I have to say I am little nervous, our daughter is only 8 weeks and the thought of being stuck in a van for 7 hours is a LITTLE terrifying! :O)
A good friend of mine, WAUGDAI, came through town the other day to drop off her baby gift to me. WOW! What a surprise, she had it handmade and it's beautiful! I have the hippest/coolest diaper bag ever, it's black and funky and completely reversable. Best thing is it doesn't look like a diaper bag! And to top things off she had a gorgeous baby sling made for me, it looks like this, except for the color!
I am going to watch the video's on how to use this sling, I will post some pics of me with my baby once we get the hang of it!
Well speaking of baby, she is bellowing for me... gotta run!
