Andrew loves a good, hearty vegetable garden. This year we has two garden boxes that will be full of a great variety of fresh veggies for us to eat! Andrew build a really neat fence system around our main garden (the fence lifts right off and on to allow easy access to all sides) to keep out bunnies or unwanted critters from digging up seeds etc. He also made some fancy potato boxes.

Its been a while since I posted (which is usual).

Andrew has been up to his old tricks, cooking us delicious meals. He made a wonderful Quiche last week including broccoli, onions, and peppers all from our own garden. And more recently we enjoyed some fresh steak (marinated in salt), along with a homemade potato salad (it was so good!!) and some of our gardens green beans. Nom nom nom.

In our house, Andrew is the king of the kitchen. I really lucked out. Not only does Andrew cook 90% of all our meals (usually from scratch - we are talking homemade bread, veggies straight from our garden), he does it extremely well. I have been eating like a Queen ever since we got married.

I've been meaning to blog more about the beautiful meals Andrew cooks our family, so I've decided to do a little blog series called "My Husband Cooks" where I'll display the scrumptious meals & treats Andrew dishes out week after week.

For dinner tonight we are starting with a Spaghetti Bolognese. This dish had a homemade sauce (which was absolutely delicious), caesar salad and garlic bread on the side. We finished the meal off with little personal sized chocolate cakes & ice cream - yum!

We welcomed Emma Lynn into the world on Tuesday June 4th, at 9:55 pm. I was able to have a home birth (which is a crazy story in itself) and with only 4.5 hours of labour and the help of my midwife, Emma arrived. She is a tiny 6lb 6oz and a nice 20 inches long.

One week old today - the week has just flown by. Emma is quite adorable, making it very difficult for me to choose only a few photos of my already hundreds to share... Here is our little bundle of joy :) We are so thankful for her. God is good.
And just for fun - here are some photos of Emma's many "poses."

I'm officially full term!

My wonderful sister in law was gracious enough to take some shots of Andrew and I before I pop! We just wanted some low key pictures to remember this time of anticipation. She did a really great job, and we now have some wonderful memories for down the road :)

Thanks again Sarah! xo

A few weeks ago, A and I decided to take a little "babymoon" (or so that's what they call them) to Niagara on the Lake. We stayed at a real cozy B&B called The Park Place. Our hosts were great and the breakfast was to die for! We also made reservations at a neat restaurant called The Syndicate Brewery & Restaurant. The Syndicate takes pride in having "Farm to Table" - fresh and local food, and it was delicious.

Now that it's been a good week and a half since the official "love day" I am finally writing a post about it. Ha! Andrew and I had a lovely day. I made him a card and in turn he made me dinner (and of course got me chocolates ;)



I also found a really cute idea online (for all those book worms out there) of making a V-Day Bookmark for your sweetheart. This idea immediately made me think of my sister and her husband (they are your classic book worms). So I made up a little bookmark for her to give her husband at their cute (and what looks like delicious) Valentine's dinner - Yum!

With a snowfall warning of 15 - 25 cm today, and a large storm watch that covers all of Southern Ontario - many of us have snow days. Andrew and I decided to get outside for a little bit - he shovelled... while I took pictures of the pretty trees around our home.

Here is a picture of us with the 20 week photos when we got home... its so exciting to see the lil' one on screen, he/she was moving around so much that we could barely get a look! Then decided to curl up into a tight ball when the technician was trying to get pictures of its organs, tisk tisk. We are waiting to find out the sex till it makes an appearance in June :)

One of my favourite (but most difficult) design projects has been our wedding invites. But I finally decided on these designs and love how they turned out.

At the beginning of May, Andrew and I got to spend a Sunday afternoon at Andrew's hangar and a nearby park with 3Photography (Specifically Jaclyn), our wedding photographer. She did an awesome job, and we were way beyond happy with our photos!! We would recommend the girls at 3Photography - so make sure to check out their blog & site. Check em' out!
