PJ party

I will admit that I just haven't been in the mood to update my blog. Plus there just isn't enough time in the day to do it! Being a working mom is tough. Anyways...

Mike and I had an amazing weekend with Megan. She was so much fun. I had a great time taking some pics of her in her pj's, with her saying "cheese" for the camera. Here are a few...

Charleston Lake

Hey all,

We went camping with a group of friends a few weekends ago, so I thought I'd post a few pics. It was a great time (even with the rain), and it was fun to see all the kids play together. This year there were 14 adults and 12 kids....next year the kids will outnumber us! I'll try to write another post soon to update you on what's been going on with us. The last few weeks haven't been to great, but it looks like things are finally taking a turn for the better.

Take care!

a sad note...

Mike, Megan & I received some sad news this week. Our tiny baby was not meant to be and has gone on to his/her heavenly home. It's heartbreaking and hard to understand why something like this would happen. But all we can do is trust that God does have a plan for us. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.

My eyes long to see you

Now you behold Him

My arms ache for you

Now you know perfect love

My ears yearn for your voice

Now you sing His praises.

I desire to feed you

Now you will never know hunger.

I anticipated the pitter-patter of your feet

Now you play at His pierced ones.

I dreamed of years of love and laughter

Now you will never know pain.

I longed to watch you grow and develop

Now you are perfect.

This isn't how I planned

but I know He loves you and me.

A Beautiful Wedding

My good friend Kelly got married yesterday, so Mike and I had an afternoon and evening out.

The wedding was absolutely beautiful and so was Kelly! We had a really great time catching up with friends and dancing a little bit too!

some news

Just wanted to let all you blog readers know our good news! Mike and I are expecting our second baby January 4th, 2008! We're very excited to be adding to the family and can't wait to see Megan as a big sister! So far the pregnancy is going quite well. I was a little sick in the beginning, but that has mostly gone away already. I'm a little tired, but I think that's to be expected when you have a 13-month-old running around at home!! I'll keep you updated as much as I can!

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to all you dad's out there! We had a relaxing afternoon swimming and hanging out at my parent's place. Megan had her first swim of the summer and loved it.

In other news, my brother and sister-in-law had
a beautiful baby boy on Thursday. His name is
Cole Benjamin and he looks a lot like his big
brother Liam. Super cute!

Megan is talking quite a bit now. Doggie is one of her favourite words, although it doesn't always mean just dog. Pretty much any animal is a doggie. Just like both Mike and I are "daddy" . Still pretty cute though. Today she starting saying ball. I love hearing her little voice.

Anyways, just a little update for now. Have a good week!
