WITH GLOWING HEARTS!!!

We started summer off with a bang! It was so much fun to be at Echo Lake with Brian's family. I made this cake to celebrate CANADA DAY! Even though we were in the states we sang our Anthem and set off a bunch of firecrackers! Will was really into it this year, which of course makes a Mother very nervous. No major damage done, except for a few sore fingers (minor burns).

I love everything about living in CANADA, my "True North Strong and Free!" I feel that our time in the United States taught us much and I have my dear friends to thank for their fine examples of patriotism. So many times I was amazed at the respect and love that Americans have for their country. I love that I have two little Americans in my home, the 4th brings back many memories of our time in the US with such wonderful people.

Here are a few pictures of our fun week at the Lake and all that we did together.
to name a few:
we caught turtles
played games
ate a lot of junk!!!
went shopping
ate ice cream (every night)
went waterskiing, kneeboarding and tubing
jumped on the trampoline
filled water balloons
set off firecrackers
visited with family
read stories
made memories .....we love echo lake!

Bread Day

As you can see by my countdown I don't have much time left until I will have a sweet little baby in my arms. I am so excited to meet this precious little one, boy or girl. I have been feeling like it will be a girl, and Brian is pretty confident it is a boy.....to say the least we are a house divided! All the girls voting GIRL and all the boys voting BOY ! All my other babies were born at either 38 or 39 weeks so it could be anytime really. So.... today I decided to be ambitious and have a bread day . A friend of mine shared a new bread recipe with me and as most of you know I LOVE MAKING HOMEMADE BREAD, no store bought bread in this country house! And so today I decided to make a big batch to hopefully last until I have this baby. My friend even shared a secret on how to make BAGELS. Mmmmmm, they are so delicious. I think my favorite part about making bread is watching my kids come home from school on bread day and hearing....."Mommy it smells so good," "You made ...

still no baby yet! isn't this a great one of me, wish I could say I am making that face because I am in labor! Just a few round pictures of me, before I POP! Yes I am really trying to look happy and now you are all forced to make MANY comments about how great I look, how tiny I am AND SO ON! I think there must be something up with my due dates. My original due date was April 10th....so I guess I could have another week or more of pregnancy to endure. However, my ultrasound date was 3 weeks 7 days off so the DR decided to bump my date forward to April 1st, 2009! I feel like my body is trying to surrender and yet this baby is not quite ready to come into the world yet! Gotta trust the process I guess, baby will come when he/she is good and ready! I decided to remove the baby gadget that counted down the days so we all could be surprised together without counting DAYS! I for one, am going a little crazy with all the "what if's!" So.....wish me luck....say a little pray...
