Butterfingers

I know that my eyes already like you

I know that my heart loves you

I can hear your sound

I can feel your touch

Love is found

And Baby Makes Four

I had so much fun doing these few photos for this lovely little family who are so humble and genuine and down to earth, truth be told I could have spent the whole night visiting with them and still not wanted to leave.

After we tried a few poses with Caleb who just wanted to go go go we let him do just that, go go GO!

He is such a gem and his love for Thomas brings me back to the days when my son was in love with Thomas as well.

Neely and Ryan I wish you the best of luck when your second bambino(a) is born and I couldn't be happier watching your little family blossom!  Bless you all!

"I'm really glad that you could come

To help surprise my mother.

Sit down, relax, enjoy yourselves

and chat with one another.

Sorry I can't be with you

to share in Mummy's shower

but you see I'm very busy

cause I'm growing more each hour.

Though I'm not here to thank you

for the special gift you brought

my family and I are grateful...

we appreciate the thought.

I'll be arriving shortly

I'm happy as can be

So after I've been home a while

Please come and visit me!"

---Love Baby

Ninja Assassin

my little ninja assassin finished school this week.  it's hard to believe he passed grade three and is moving on to grade four.  i still remember my fourth grade year, it was one of the most amazing times of my life and i only hope that he has good experiences also.

when i sit back and think of my time at school and realize that my son is reliving those times in his own life...boy...i feel.old!  this is a phrase i hear mothers use all to often and i think you really have to be a mother to understand the full meaning of those words.  where does the time go?  it seems like just yesterday when we were changing their diapers.  each year we ask ourselves where the time has gone and each year we feel older than the last, this leaves me to wonder just how freaking old are we?  :)

new and exciting things are on the horizon for this summer and i can't wait to see what the new school year has to offer, or better yet, what my son has to offer to the new school year :)

bring it on!

one hot day

every monday to friday at around two forty five i make my way to Noel Booth Elementary to pick up my son from school.  this daily commute happens not once, but twice a day.  such is the life of parents, but i don't mind.  my son is very lucky to go to such a wonderful school where the principal is the the one and only Peter Luongo.  the director of the internationally acclaimed Langley Ukulele Ensemble.

on nice days i usually let him stay at the park and play.  of course in tow i have my...you guessed it...camera.  picture opportunities can happen anywhere anytime and i like to be prepared.

i snapped these while he was busy climbing around the equipment and showing off for me.

cub scout

getting close to the end of the school year also marks the end of my son's cub scouting program.  what a year it has been!  i have learned a lot about my son as he progressed from still holding my hand while we cross the streets to "ew mom, that's not cool!"  and i knew to expect that but i think it breaks every mothers heart when her son finally gets to that stage.  of course me being me i still hug and kiss him in front of his friends just to embarrass him because someday he will be reminded that i will love him endlessly no matter what.  oh to be a kid again with the only worry is if your mom is going to embarrass you again.  as long as i breath, rest assured at some point or another, i will :)
