The Weather.... I LOVE IT!

Despite the wind that is blowing everything from garbage pails, to small children across the lots behind and around our house... I can honestly say "it's exciting to watch snow come down as hard as it did earlier today." And people at work say "that's nothing, just wait!" "I can't, I really, really can't." Today we got our first taste of what's to come with 90km winds racing off the lake and pushing with it snow! Sideways. At one point I couldn't see the street behind our house. I made an honest effort to save our air conditioner cover and took off like a kite! By the time I got my shoes and coat it was gone... long gone. I was out with the camera from work today and took a pic of what was going on. Brrrrr! Looks cold doesn't it?

Let the fun begin!

Last week when we found out we were having a girl I took a trip over to Home Depot and picked out paint for the new nursery. Then rushed home and started to look for baby "girl" bedding. I didn't want to re-use Adam's Winnie the Pooh stuff cause it was mostly blue (even though it has another side that I could have flipped over).
So I went online and put a bid on Ebay for the above bedding. And won. I'm so excited to play "set up". Jay is going to do the painting for me, and I will be foreman. Every job needs one! I'd love to find a white wicker rocking chair for the baby's room. Denise, please watch the garbage! Or Marty, steal one off someone's porch when you go do some landscaping. There is a beauty on a front porch around the corner from here, but the darn lady is always sitting in it.

I started my Christmas baking - started with Chocolate covered Cherries, and sugar cookies. Then I ran out of eggs, so I called it quits. We went and got our Christmas tree yesterday too. Adam and I hung the lights on it this morning while Jay is at work, and we will all decorate it tonight after dinner.

Looking very forward to Christmas eve at Bev's house... I'm bringing dessert, but I have yet to decide on what to bring. Maybe a black forest cheesecake or something!

Winter is here! Christmas lights are hung!

I love that photo of Mom & Dad! You guys missed it when Mom got up on the hay pile with Adam and was running around and climbing over bales 7 feet in the air. I though "she's going to fall!"... but she didn't. Because I still don't have a digital camera, I'm a bit behind on posting current pics. So I went post happy this time around. Oh, by the way. The winter shot above was taken by the photographer that sometimes does work for our paper (shorelinebeacon.com) and this was one of his shots last winter!

We've been taking Adam skating every weekend,and well, he gets very mad that he can't go by himself. But he'll learn. He's funny to watch, and it's great to see Jay sharing something like that with him. It's wonderful to do "family" things now that he's getting older.

We have about 2 inches of white fluffy stuff on the ground now. When I got home from work today Jay and Adam had hung all our lights and put in coloured pot lights around the house. So that got me into the spirit and I started to take out all my stuff. I was just taking a quick break... Got to get back at it. Carson won't leave my howling "jingle bells dog" alone - or the snowman door knocker - or.... dumb dog.

See ya'll soooooonnnnnn!

We're having a girl!

Got my ultrasound done today... and it's true... we're having a girl.
I'm so super excited I can't even begin to tell you! Aside from it being a girl the nurse said everything looks great, baby has a strong heart, and everything is in its proper place.

Hair and Belly - Not Hairy belly!

So this is me at 19 weeks pregnant! Still in my jeans. I think I've gained about 10 lbs now. Which is much less than when I was pregnant for Adam. I promised myself that I would not gain 60 this time and I'm sticking to it! I sure could go for a gyro though. Unfortunately there is no place to get one up here.

That's it - Next time I write will be with news of a baby girl or boy!

I got a haircut and ate some delicious soup!

Today was my short day - as is every Tuesday, so I went to the Corner Deli (that's the name)and got some soup. They have a new soup every day! And for $2. for a big bowl how could you resist. Today's soup du jour was Malakazana (very possibly spelt wrong), anyway, it's a curry soup made with veggies, lentils, CURRY, and basmati rice. It's a bit spicy and SUPER GOOD! Then I treated myself to a new hair cut. Something I've needed for a very long time. Plus it's a style I've never worn before. It's cut to a long blunt with a heavy bang. Sorta "Cleopatra" looking.

Well it's also 1 week until we find out was the baby is. I can't wait. I booked next Wednesday off work, my ultrasound is at 10:45 and immediately following I'm heading to buy paint for the baby's room. I told Jay (since he can't go with me) that when he gets home from work the colour of the baby's room with tell him the sex. Silly idea really, but I just can't wait to prepare the baby's room all over again.

I have to go move a few things around in the garage because Jay is on his way home with a fridge for the garage. I was a bit bummed out the other day cause I couldn't do any holiday baking because our stupid fridge in the kitchen has a freezer so small you couldn't stick Adam in it! Not that I've tried... But now I will, since the garage fridge will have a freezer up top. Finally, some room to put stuff!

Got to fly!

Oh, by the way the photo was taken near Owen Sound off a side road.
