Happy Birthday to my wonderful Dad!! Just wanted to send my love to him on his birthday.
Below is a photo of Dad (I assume taken by my Mom) and his first grandson (and my nephew) Jackson. Aren't they cute in their matching hockey Jerseys?!
Today my nephew Jackson was born. He was born at 11:35am in Ottawa. He weighed 8lbs 10z and was healthy and amazing. The new Mom, Dad and Jack are all doing well, though they are all very tired.
He is the cutest, most perfect and innocent creature in the world and I love him with all my heart and soul.
I will be posting photos of him once I get the go ahead from my brother and sister-in-law, aka the new parents. I don’t want to post anything until they have said it is okay – don’t want to steal their moments, blah blah blah. I will post more when I have a bit more time to sit down and tell what I know of his story so far, but I couldn’t let this monumental day go un-blogged.
Seriously --- so cute --- so loved.
I know it has been a while, but I am back now. I am spending most of the rest of this afternoon sitting by an open window, enjoying the fresh air, my backyard garden and the sunlight while I blog away. In other words, there should be regular posts for the next month or so despite how busy I will likely be.
What have I been busy with you ask? Well for those of you who don’t already know, Dave and I have been advancing our lives a fair bit lately. We are obviously planning our wedding which is very time consuming despite the fact that we are planning a wedding that is well over a year away. We have also signed up at Goodlife gym and gotten ourselves personal trainers (to learn more about this, check out my health blog, The Road to a Better Me – it too is getting updated today). We also made one of the biggest purchases we will ever make…we bought a house. I will create more specific posts about each of these things later, but for now I think this is enough to understand just how busy our personal lives have been lately. Oh, and I am also planning a baby shower for my sister-in-law with my mom which has taken a little bit of work as well (invitations, ideas, gift shopping, etc), though to be honest, this one wasn’t as much work as the others. In fact it was quite fun to send out invitations and look at baby things.
Lynn and Tyler were told today that Baby Beach is a BOY!! I am going to have a nephew and I am super excited!
Apparently the ultrasound technician said she was 99.9% sure that the baby was a boy. Thankfully Tyler and Lynn included me in the phone calls that followed their appointment.
Seriously, I am one happy Aunt who is about to buy a great deal of blue things including baby photography props!!
On top of my and Dave’s engagement, my brother and sister-in-law had their own big news to share with our family this past holiday season. They are going to be parents. They shared this with my parents and I through Christmas cards for Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt. I absolutely loved it and am so incredibly excited for my niece or nephew (they will be finding out if the baby is a boy or a girl when the 5 month marker comes around). I can’t wait to spoil the baby with toys and clothes and shower it with love and of course take lots of photos.
