More news

There is more exciting news that I have still not shared…Josh and I are expecting our 2nd baby this fall! I am due October 15th so I’ll be 20 weeks this Saturday. So far this pregnancy has been a lot different than Liam’s. I was very spoiled with Liam and had pretty much no sickness. This little baby has decided that wasn't right, so I was very sick from about week 6 to week 14. I am feeling great now, and I finally have my appetite back.

I had my ultrasound this past Tuesday and here are some pictures of our little babe. We decided not to find out the gender cause we'd like to be surprised again. We're hoping for a girl though because we CANNOT decide on a boys name. If it's a boy he may be nameless because of how stubborn Josh and I are. We asked Liam's advice on boy names the other day and he thinks we should call him Tires :) So, no help there...

And just for fun here's a picture of Liam on his way to church last Sunday.

Our past month...

This past month has been busy but somehow I have not managed to post any of it. Here is what our month included:

Easter was spent at our place this year and Auntie Shelley was able to come up. We had a very relaxing weekend and did a little easter egg hunt for Liam. He had gone for a walk with Auntie Shelley and returned to the house to find that the Easter bunny had made a visit. He was quite excited!

I'm pretty sure I ate most of this bunny. Oops :)

At the end of April, my parents flew into Calgary after being in Israel for over 3 months. Our family (minus Jason and Darcie) was able to meet them at the airport and we all spent the weekend in Calgary. We stayed at Rachel’s seminary in Cochrane (Thanks again Rach!) and filled our weekend with visiting and shopping and making a trip to the Calgary zoo. I forgot my camera but here are a few pictures that Sarah took.

Liam was VERY excited when we got to the entrance and couldn't wait to see all the animals.

We had never been to the Calgary zoo and we were quite impressed. We would definitely like to go back someday!
The rest of the family headed home on Sunday but Josh, Liam and I stayed in Calgary for the rest of the week. I had a leadership course to do with my company, and their main office building is downtown Calgary. We got to stay in a very fancy hotel though we felt a little out of place. Let’s just say our type of hotel is usually a Western Budget but it was a nice treat since my company was paying for it.
On May 6th Josh and I celebrated our 5th year wedding anniversary. It’s crazy that it’s been 5 years already. We had just gotten back from Calgary that day so we ordered in Chinese and spent the night at home. It was just what we needed!
We also did the MS Walk with our family on May 7th for our friend James Purdy. It is our 3rd year doing the walk and it was definitely the coldest. We only managed to do the 4k instead of the 10k because Liam was getting too cold ( and me too!). Thanks again to everyone who supported our family for the walk. We raised over $700.00 and our team, "MS Ain't Purdy" raised over $30,000!

I am also excited to say that Liam is Potty Trained! Whoop Whoop!
