Missing moments
I am missing my camera. It was sent away for repairs before Easter. It's ridiculous. I'm missing out on so many moments. Grrr...

Who knew?
Tid bit from today's conversation at the zoo.
"I am the ultimate knower of all am-i-nals, Mommy."
"Really, Chelsea? That's fantastic. What's that bird called?"
"Mom. That is a bird - NOT an am-i-nal. Boy. You have lots to learn!"
Yup. That's about it.

The mother's day photo
Each year on Mother's Day, I don't ask for much. All I want is a good picture with my kids.
Side note - Our camera is STILL away for repairs. We are using another borrowed camera, and although I am grateful, it's not the greatest. I miss my camera!
Anyways, on with the blogpost.
2006 - The week of Mother's Day, we were told by doctors that the chances of us having kids was pretty much non-existant. Mother's Day sucked.
2007 - My first Mother's Day with my miracle baby was spent in the ER with a mysterious pain that turned out to be a ruptured appendix. This turned into an 11 day hospital stay, so I have no pictures!
2008 - My first mother's day outing! I was over the moon happy with my miracle!
2009 - Playing hard outside on Mother's Day.
2010 - Mother's Day with 2 babies. Out of 30 gazillion pictures, it kinda works.
Fast forward to 2011...
Hey, I said "almost."
Chelsea and I persevered.
Well, at least we both had our eyes closed.

Gavin almost lasted for one picture.

Too squinty.
Attempt #3. I like to call this one "Tree - meet apple."
Well, at least we both had our eyes closed.
Attempt #4. M'eh. It kinda works.
I thought maybe it was Chris' camera skills - like really, he couldn't take a couple steps closer? - so we attempted one all by ourselves.

Happy Moms day.

Randoms
- I have a hard time blogging without pictures. Our camera has been away for repairs for what feels like forever. I miss it. I hate that I keep missing these amazing moments with my kids.
- Gavin's been given the all-clear, all-well-and-good report from the surgeon. Thank goodness that is overwith. Now the doctor thinks I should get tubes in my ears again. Sigh. Seems like a never ending cycle.
- Picked up the keys to my new office in Morden. A Better Life Wellness Centre will be open (by appt only) soon! So excited to be helping people!
- Excited for Mother's Day tomorrow, but I will forever be reminded of 5 years ago. I remember sitting in church, bawling through the entire service because we had just been told that we probably wouldn't be able to have children. My heart still breaks for all the women who want babies more than anything. The service tomorrow will be bittersweet.
- Really working on loving myself right now, inside and out. It's tough, but getting better.
- Loving the warmer weather. Love open windows, sand-filled shoes, and legs sore from jumping on the "jumpoleen."
