11 days and counting...

till my due date. Actually I am hoping baby will arrive before that! We'll see what Doc has to say tomorrow afternoon.

The nursery is almost done. Maybe baby is waiting for that!? Kurt just has to finish staining the diaper change table. He did an amazing job on the crib dont you think?My wonderful friends threw me an awesome shower last week, and you would not believe how much stuff we got for our baby girl! I have never seen so much pink! I love it!

Mason could not beleive his eyes when I got home with all this stuff. Then he was even happier to find a few things for him! He loves his Big Brother books and new puzzle! But best of all I think he loves the new stroller.

Kurts Bike
(for Sale!)

New kit
So I have rather slowly been working on a new baby (digital scrapbooking) kit. As usual I enjoyed creating the papers, but am struggling a bit with the elements. I did take a break to create these Baby Announcements. (Please note all with fake names and details.)
I am still busy finishing up post processing on the wedding photos, so that should be done soon. My sister told me she got her wedding guest book that I had made and sent. You can take a snak peek HERE if you like. Less than 2 weeks till her wedding, and we cannot wait to be apart of that day! Kurt as the Best Man, myself as the MOH and Mason as the handsome ring bearer. I will also be doing the Bride and Groom's photos.

A few more form the wedding..And a few cuties I photographed today,I have one sick little boy today, who is just chilling on the couch. It makes me so sad to see him sick and not himself. Hopefully it does not last long!

My little fish!
I have had Mason is swimming since he was 6 months old, and I really see now how it has paid off! He is so comfortable in the water, check him out here, jumping into the pool..

Been Busy!
But busy is good, isn't it?! 25 weeks pregnant, and feeling pretty good. I'll be standing in my sister's wedding in just 3 weeks, and got to try on the dress today. It is beautiful! And better yet, it FITS! lol.
So I went out of town last weekend to shoot a wedding, and it was the first time I left Mason! Boy did I miss him!
Before I left town I did a few head shots for a friend of mine, here.

And here are a few from the wedding...The day was beautiful, the Bride and Groom easy going, the scenery perfect! I really had alot of fun with this bunch!

NEW THINGS

....are up in the store! Introducing my latest, Picture Postage Stamps.

One for Canada and one for the USA. You can find them here!

More things to come!

FRESH

I was lucky enough to take some newborn photos today of baby Ashley. Here are a few of the shots I got of this precious little girl...

And a few other recent shots...

"Well the doggys go here?!"

Time for a quick game of catch-up!

Where to begin? Still enjoying every minute with Mason. Expecting #2 in November! -There is some big news for you! Kinda trying to prepare Mason for the baby, but so far he still thinks there is a baby in his belly...

Finally getting my photography website up and running very soon!

We have been keeping busy around the house, enjoying the weather, beach and outdoors. Kurt is working on the back fence. It will be so nice when that is done and we can fully enjoy the backyard!

Mason chats up a storm now, which makes us laugh all the time! So far no real bad words, but I am sure its just a matter of time before he picks one up!

I go for my 18 week ultrasound next week at which time we will hopefully find out what we are having! I am soo excited and cannot wait to find out! I am totally fine either way I just want ot know so I can get prepared! I have so many neat nursery ideas. First I will have to do up a new and exciting room for Mason, move him over to it, then work on the nursery. I shoudl really be getting on that I guess, as 2 rooms might take a bit of time, adn I only have 5 months.

My sister and brother-in-law (yes thats is right he is already my brother-in-law) are getting married in September in Ottawa! We are all very excited and cant wait for the big day. I have been busy making their invitations, stag tickets, programs, ordering dresses etc. I love Kelly's dress, colors - EVERYTHING. I just cant imagine how beautiful it will all be when it all comes together for the big day! Mason is going to be the most handsome ring bearer. This will be his second time, so he should be a pro at it this time! I will be 7 months pregnant in the wedding and taking the photos - but hopefully I will be feeling ok! I have had another rough pregnancy, but I am starting to feel much, much better now (still on medication).

Here is my idea for the nursery, mind you the colors may change slightly depending on the gender! Now to hunt for ideas for Masons room. I am thinking either, trucks, or sports even though he would love Spiderman, I am afraid he will grow out of it too quickly!

March...

...already! Where does the time go? Only 2 days till my 30th Birthday!?! YIKES! After wishing an old highschool friend a Happy Birthday last week, it really got me thinking. I cna remember us (with our birthday's only a week apart) anxiously awaiting our 19th birthdays, and already I am wishing her a Happy 30th! It seems the older I get, the quicker time flys!

Actually 2 other lovely ladies are about to add another year to their age this week in our neighborhood and so to celebrate, we have the Party bus ordered to take us to Ranchmans. I don't know if I will be riding the mechanical bull, but it should be a memoriable time I am sure!

I just wish that my sister was here to join us.

So to catch up, we had a wonderful trip to Ottawa a few weeks ago. It was so nice to see everyone again!

We were lucky to have Mason's Pop here to celebrate Easter with us last weekend. Too bad Mason was sick and not himself, and now I hear Pop is sick in the bed instead of hard at work!

Just when I thought there was nothing Mason needs or does not have, Pop picked him up this, scooter with 4 wheels. He LOVES it! Thanks Pop and Gramma!

Big Fan

Instead of taking his usual nap today, Mason entertained himself in his room. So after a couple of hours, I went in, and when I did I had an idea. He and I gathered up all his Cars stuff, I grabbed the camera, and my new "natural" studio light. It was time to test it out, and hopefully get a great shot of Masons first favorite movie/toys... Now that I think about it there was still more Cars things I could have put in there! Rather crazy that they make so much of this stuff isn't it? All in all, I think it will be great to look back on, when he gets older!

I am so proud of this little boy. I have been taking him to the babysitting at the gym off and on since he was six months. He has never been a fan. Well, knock on wood, the last 2 days he has went in without tears or a bottle! I am just so proud of him, yet so sad that he is growing so independent. He continues to amaze me daily with his speech, humor, and wit.

CHANGES

I just wanted to show the difference of Mason's Santa Visits.
Here is was at only 2 months. Then 1 year, 2 months, and now at 2 years 2 months!
