Spring Fling

This month we celebrated Grampa Black's birthday, Grace got to hang out with her big sister and her cousins as well as Uncle James, Auntie Heather and Uncle Jon.



I have not been very good at keeping this blog up lately, but I am going to try a little harder! I go back to work on Monday, but not for long. I will be going on Maternity leave again this summer, some time around July 24th. That's right, we are expecting! Baby no. 2 has been nick named Tomato, to keep with the whole vegetable theme, *(remember Grace was Potato), as my sister cannot say "it" and we are not finding out the gender this time either.




Well, we can't say much about the weather except that we do live in the prairies and March is always one of the snowiest months...So, we are trying to make the best of the warmer temps even with all the white stuff. Grace and her Dad have started a daily ritual of gearing up and playing in the yard when Daddy gets home from work every day. Grace has realized that there is a whole big world out that front door! Her daily routine now starts with, "Boots, out?" She really is a go getter.

Stay warm out there and Happy 3rd Day of Spring to you all!! Drop us a line and say hey if you can! We would love to hear what you have been up to!

New Year Stuff



Well, it has been very busy so far this year, there is a lot to report since our last blog entry!! Grace has turned one! We had such an amazing day with family and friends, she was definitely a super star at her party!! She even really blew out her candle! Quite something our little girl!!
And, for the best present of all?? Grace got two new cousins on her birthday!! Hudson Bella and Liam James came into the world December 13th, 2010! Both very happy and healthy, we have loved sneaking cuddles with these two little angels!

Grace and her dad have been enjoying the nice weather by spending time sledding. I must say that she has quite the need for speed, not afraid to go fast at all. Mommy on the other hand can barely watch, we need crash helmets for sure!!


We are loving the nice weather and have been trying to make the best of it, we hope you are too! Keep checking in when you have a sec, it is great to hear from you all!! Love us chickens!
