Jen and Justin's wedding!

Here's a pic from their festivities back in June.

Progress!

This is a photo of Marley watching a movie on the iPad (Tangled, her fave!) while eating dessert in her underwear. Its significant for the following reasons:
1. She has the attention span to watch an entire movie! (Movie theatre here we come!)
2. She ate her entire dinner! (A bowl full of quinoa and chicken cacciatore, but only after I pulled out dessert and showed her what she could have if she finished. Peach cobbler with pumpkin ice cream, yum!)
3. She's finally able to wear big girl underwear for hours at a time with no accidents! We've even been successful with #2 in the actual toilet!

Making progress...

High tea in Niagara on the Lake

Today I met up with some old university friends Kim and Trish and Saadia for high tea and spa treatments at the Prince of Wales Hotel. Its been a long time since I've had a girls day to myself and after being cooped up with Marley indoors the day before, I really needed the break!

The weather was nice so we were able to take a walk along the strip after. I was so full after our tea I definitely needed the exercise. What a great outing with some very good friends!

Rainy days

Its been raining all day today. We decided to take a short walk to get eggs so we all suited up in rainboots and umbrellas for our walk. Unfortunately Marls seemed more excited about getting dressed in her gear and much less excited once she actually got outside.

6 more weeks to go!

Just realized I havent taken any photos of this pregnancy, I guess 2nd child syndrome is already kicking in. Here's one of me today at just over 34 weeks. Not much longer to go....

Sous chef

I once read that kids are more inclined to eat something they helped make so lately I've started to get Marley's help in the kitchen. She actually loves cooking and I love sharing the experience with her. We started with pancakes where she mixes the batter and tops the blueberries and tonight progressed to mini pizzas and apple turnovers. She loved putting her toppings on her pizza and I even got her to eat a few pieces of broccoli in the process!

Cant wait until she can make entire meals for US for a change!!

Happy 3rd birthday Marley!

Today we celebrated Marley's 3rd birthday. This was the first birthday where she actually understood what was going on. She looked forward to it all week and asked every day if it was "chocolate cake" day. She had so much fun she even missed her usual nap! By the end of the night, when we recapped the evening at bedtime, her highlights were wearing her pretty dress, eating chocolate cake and donuts and seeing all of her friends.

Time flies!

Look at this tiny baby. Hard to believe she will be 3 on Saturday.  Even harder to believe another tiny baby will be here in just over a month! Aieeeeeee!

Trip to the cne!

Here is a collage of pics from our first visit to the cne! Of course marley's favourite parts were the food, farm and holding hands with her bf Jacen.
