163: Pals

I walked past the couch to discover these cuties tucked into a blanket, "reading" a book together. It is such a blessing to have them get along so well. And yes, they do fight, I'm just not as eager to capture those moments!

162: LOST

Today was one of those days where I had good intentions of getting a good shot early in the day and it just never happened. Now I'm about to watch LOST with my man before bed, so just snapped a shot of the TV and off I go. Maybe tomorrow's photo will be more interesting :)

Clay's summer hockey season started last week, and tonight we were able to go take in our first game. Mom and Dad came too, and we met up with Murray and Cheryl as well. The boys had so much fun watching Daddy (that's him - 95!) and their friend Derek on the ice, and taking in the sights of the rink.

On this day, and every day, I am thankful and blessed that this woman is my mom, and I think you can tell by the look in his eyes that he's pretty pleased she's his Grandma.

We had a garage sale today. Came home with a few treasures from our neighbours' sales, and money to burn in our pockets. The weather turned out to be beautiful, with a quick shower mid-day...at that moment we were sure glad to have set up in the garage and not on the lawn.

My newly discovered green thumb is also growing herbs - meet my dear friend, Basil. He and Oregano happily sun themselves in my dining room window, ready and waiting to add flavour to our food. I think once the weather warms up, I'll plant them outside so they can really spread their roots.
I'd like you to meet the star of tonight's pulled pork sarnies, Bear~B~Cue. My friend Janelle, whose family lives in Kansas, uses this stuff on nearly everything. She brings us back a bottle every now and then when they go down for a visit, and it was divine in those sandwiches!

I get to see her every day, and even I am in awe of how adorable Miss Bailey is in this photo. I was trying to get shots of her crawling away from me, but all she wanted to do was attack me and the camera. You can see the "I'm gonna get you!" look in her eyes.

155: Snow

May 4 - cold, windy, and snow. Oi vey. I like this picture though, because I find the red and blue on the broom very cheerful against the bleakness of winter in May. I am so thankful that this weather won't be around for the next 6 months, because I had a low and sad day. Surely not all the weather's fault, but it didn't help.

Our neighbour girls were over to play this afternoon - they blew bubbles and the boys chased the bubbles around with sticks, trying to pop them. Markus was concentrating really hard, waiting for those bubbles to come his way.
