Patio Laterns

Okay.... so the weather is suppose to be AMAZING this weekend! Kyle brought the patio set out of hibernation to celebrate!
We got a new bbq grill and we are ready!
Mom and my cousin are coming for the weekend. We are going to do some scrapbooking and take a look around Pickering flea market. Should be fun.
I think I might start Lauryn's life book. Now that our paper chase is done, I want to start filling in her life book. That way when she is home, we can concentrate on things on all her firsts when she's home. So if I get the paper chase portion of her life book complete, it won't be quite as overwhelming! Big plans! Wish me luck!
I hope everyone will get a chance to enjoy the highly awaited beautiful weekend!
Keep Happy!

Hippity Hop

Happy Easter everyone!
We had a lovely family dinner last night. Way to much food! Goodness!
Lot's of leftovers! We will be eating turkey all week!
To our dear baby Lauryn. Your Easter basket isn't empty. Nana bought you a new pair of shoes. They are beautiful. They have bluebirds on them and are so cute!
Thanks Nana!
So, the Thomson family will be nursing turkey hangovers today. We will all have an afternoon nap I am sure! Sweet dreams of baby Lauryn are the name of the game today!
I hope everyone is enjoying their Easter weekends.
Keep Happy...Keep Hoppy! haha!

Shingles aren't only for roof tops!

I've been feeling under the weather lately. Thought it was just a common cold. Something that needed to run its course. I went to the doctor on Saturday. I needed a note to cover my absence at work for the better part of Thursday and Friday.
As it turns out I have shingles! Adult chicken pox. What the...
Can you imagine?
So, I am home bound for a couple of more days. Bored out of my mind. I am in some pain, and the couch isn't all that exciting. I just want to do something. Truthfully, I don't have the energy to do anything! I am pretty grumpy! LOL! I have almost finished a really great book. It's called China Ghosts. It's an adoption tale from the fathers prospective. A gift from a friend at work. It is pretty amazing. I've really enjoyed it!
Just a quick update. Nothing really new to report. We are still waiting... however, for this part of the wait, I am covered in spots on my left side!
Keep Happy!

Spring has sprung!

Welcome Spring! After a long winter, I can't wait a minute longer. Yesterday was the first day of spring and I took a vacation day to celebrate!
A long weekend is sometimes better than anything!
It's been a pretty productive weekend. Just looked at our counter and we made the 7 month mark. Holy! I sometimes lose track, and then take a look and can't believe it!
We are going to visit my Mom and Dad tomorrow. It's tax time, Mom is our make shift accountant! Thanks Mom!
It amazes me how my mother is so many things! She really knows how to do just about anything, and if she doesn't' she learns! What a woman! I hope I am half the Mom that she has always been to me!
Feeling a little emotional lately. Not really sure what that's about, but the smallest things bring tears to my eyes. I guess it's just those winter blues. Well, goodbye old man winter, not sure I will miss you much!
Our dear Johnson has started to linger a little longer outside... it must be spring. The muddy paws are a sure indicator. Our cat Peanut has even taken an interest in the deck.
I hope that this random post finds you and yours well and enjoying the sun!
Keep happy!

blah, blah, blah

I think I am suffering from the blah's... it's still so cold outside! It's been a long, cold, dark winter.
When I get up it's really dark. Even Johnson is to tired to really do anything in the morning!
I let him out, he has a quick pee and then back inside. He gets his cookie and before I even have the kettle boiled he's upstairs in bed curled up with Kyle!

Nothing new to report at all.
Just a quick update to let you all know that the Thomson's are still hanging in!

I hope we all get a chance to enjoy the predicted sunshine this weekend!

6 months and counting

So far this "pregnancy" has been a breeze... no morning sickness, no aches, no pains... some tears, but mostly thankful that we are in que for our baby girl!
6 months we've been waiting for our referral... I can't believe it!
