What a Beautiful Day!

Okay well this picture wasn't taken today but that's pretty much what it looked liked (minus the winter jackets!)

I met my girlfriends Candace and Colleen and their daughters Reese (6 months) and Farrah (11 months) at Tim Horton's today for lunch. Than we went for a walk around Albert Dick Lake. It was so nice and warm, definitely no jackets needed. It is so nice to have close friends with kids around the same age as Lilah. She is almost 10 months old now! Wow time flies. Tomorrow I am going to Surrey to visit with Melissa. Another play date for Lilah. I am also waiting to hear of 3 babies that are supposed to be born within the next couple of days, very exciting!

Time for an Update

So what have I been up too lately? Well I am painting mom's kitchen and hallway for her! She felt like she needed a bit of a change. She picked out a nice olivey green color. Lilah has been growing like a little weed. She is so much fun and makes us laugh all the time. Yesterday Aaron and I took her swimming for the first time! She was so cute. We went to the Mission Leisure Center which was really nice. The change rooms were clean! Unlike MRC, eww gross:( Anyways the kiddy pool was a little cool for her and she started shivering so we took her in the hottub which was about the same temp as her bathtub.

Aaron has had a cold for almost 2 weeks now and I am so ready for it to be gone. He coughs so much and it is driving me crazy! He only took 1 day off work but his schedule now is 2 days on 2 days off 2 days on 1 day off so if he takes an extra day off you can really notice it! I guess the furniture store has its slow time of year and instead of laying someone off they each work one less day. Hopefully it will pick up again soon.

I don't really know what else to say? I have been trying to keep busy because I hate this time of year. I'm glad its spring though. I feel like I need to get outside more, but I don't walk in the rain. Mom is a little bit more ambitious than me and still walks most of the days. A vacation, thats what I need! Maybe next year. I guess thats all I have to say for now.

Teething?

Lilah cut her first two teeth today! Very exciting! I had no idea she was even teething because she's been sleeping so good at night and having good naps as well. I'm definitely not complaining:) I thought it bothered them before the teeth poked through but maybe not Lilah. Anyways that is all I have to say for now.

I know its been quite a while since I've updated. We've been trying to stay busy. I really hate this time of year and envy anybody that gets to go on vacation. I miss the sunshine. The days seem like they just drag on. Yesterday we went to Mt. Baker and went skiing! We went with our friends Travis and Colleen and Colleen's dad Carl. It was really fun except for the weather:( It was raining and at the top of the mountain it was snowing and very windy. It made it really hard to see anything! By lunchtime we were all soaked and didn't go back out, except for Travis and Carl. They braved it again. Its too bad but oh well.

Tonight we went to Aaron's mom's for our Sunday dinner! Everybody was there this week, Aaron, Lilah, and I, Katie and Ian, Julie and Greg, Holly and Mom! She made a yummy roast with all the fixins, and a homemade apple pie for dessert.

Lilah & Gramma!

Daddy!

This is a picture of Aaron:) I am not quite sure how old he was here? Probably 1! Who do you think Lilah looks more like!

Mommy!

This is a picture of me at around the same age Lilah is now, 9 months. A slight resemblance I'd say!

The face

So this is Lilah's new face. We have no idea where she gets it from (some say Aaron some Papa Tim:) She does it for a number of reasons, sour food, yummy food, strangers, familiar faces. She is such a character! I know its kinda scary but hilarious none-the-less. Lilah what are we going to do with you?

Grammy!

This picture was taken right after Lilah was born. Aaron's mom was the first person we called to tell the news! I looked through my pictures to try and find a more recent one but unfortunately I couldn't. I will have to take my camera to dinner tonight and take a picture of the two. Over the past 9 years I have gotten to know Elaine very well. I have even taken a trip with just her and myself to Whistler so we could talk (well it was probably mainly her doing all the talking and a lot of listening coming from me!) I was in grade 11 I think at the time. She always has so much great advice to give. Just yesterday she stopped by with a box of diapers and snacks for Lilah and some food for Aaron and I as well. So thoughtful! I know she doesn't get to see her granddaughter as often as my parents do but I know she is just as proud! Lilah is very spoiled with love from both sides of the family especially since she is the first baby. Aaron and I are so blessed to have such a wonderful mom!

Being Silly!

This is my brother Tim. I think he loves being an uncle. He's just a big kid himself and Lilah likes it that he is so goofy around her.
