"Uh...Mom...this really isn't all that exciting..."
Monica's first time holding and eating a whole banana. She has always loved bananas, but up until now, I've just been giving her pieces of fruit in a bowl...

So, really not a whole heck of a lot new to report. As pictured above, I just got back from the hair salon. This is probably about the height of the excitement around here, today.
Monica is sleeping, it's raining outside, so here I am....
Well, I'm getting ready for a busy summer ahead. Myself and two of the other ladies I sing with, will begin practicing this week for a wedding on June 17th. I'm looking foward to it, but sometimes it just seems like one more task to add to my never ending list!
Next weekend, I've agreed to head back up music for the Live-in Christ weekend. This, too, I'm looking forward to, but, again, it is one more thing to add onto the list. It will be interesting scheduling Monica's days around the live-in schedule, but I don't think it will be too bad. It will be nice to get out there and lead some music, again. Although, I've enjoyed not having the responsibilty over the past few years, it will be nice to give it a whirl.
Other than that, we have a family reunion coming up, little trips here and there, work, regular daily life (which is hectic in itself!) and, can't wait for this, another trip out to Edmonton in August!!!! This will be the highlight of the summer for Monica and I. We had such a great time last year...this year will be even better as Todd, Angela, John, Levi and Isaac will be joining in on the fun! I can't wait....
And with that, I'm going to make the most of what is left of Monica's nap and have a lie down on the couch. Monica decided to not sleep between the hours of 1:00AM and 5:00AM, this morning, so I am very tired! Actually, she has been making a habit of this night time ritual for the past week...I can only hope that this latest phase will pass quickly!
Take care!
-Denise & Monica
* Oh yea!!! I can't believe I forgot to add this...Congratulations to Andy and Jane on their, much anticipated, engagement. Hey Andy, I think I've proven myself to be a pretty decent secret keeper...I couldn't have held out much longer, though!

Happy Mother's Day! Yes, I know it's over...
"Ok...now...we've gotta make this a good one..."

"Mama" and Monica posing with the many roses that she received...Mother's Day should be everyday!

The Mother's Day that was...
So, if I was the devoted blogger that I claim to be...ok I don't claim myself to be any such thing...I would have posted a "Happy Mother's Day", on the day, but...well, who has got the time?
I had a fabulous Mother's Day. We started out with brunch at the Hotel Saskatchewan...thanks Bumpa...then, I was treated to an afternoon bike ride out to the Rick Hansen Optimist Playground for some fun and a picnic. It was a very relaxing day and the weather was brilliant!
Of course, I couldn't walk away from work. I multi-tasked throughout the day, booking appointments and sending emails to my newest business partners. That's one big drawback with working from home. It is near impossible to just shut the computer off and walk away! I am constantly checking my email and corresponding with business partners or prospective business partners. Ah well...at least I'm enjoying it!
This week we have been enjoying a heat wave! I got my first sunburn of the year, yesterday. So begins my summer of tanning via sunburns. I know, I know....wear sunscreen!!!! Monica does and I do, when I take the time to put it on. I did today, so there!
This weekend is the long weekend. We have Isaac's 1st birthday party to attend on Saturday and then I sing at church in the evening. Sunday is a free day, which will soon be filled up before it begins. Monday, we are looking forward to meeting Jane!!!! I hear Andy will be there too, but I'm not too sure...teehee...
Other than that, not much new to report.
"Happy Anniversary to Gammy and Bumpa" for tomorrow! Have fun you two crazy kids!

Oh yea! Like my blonde hair, Megan???

Pictures!
Well, I hope everyone out there is happy! I know I am. It feels good to get some pictures up here.
We hope everyone had a happy and blessed Easter (a while ago). We did. We even got to celebrate Bumpa's birthday, too! So, now we (well, at least I) have had our fill of treats. Monica got a lot of Easter candy and, of course, being the good mother I am...I ate most of it. I didn't want Monica to over do it. That being said...I ended up not feeling so good.
Last week, Bumpa and Gammy joined Monica and I on a trip up to Saskatoon. I had a Business Launch to attend there. We had a great time and enjoyed Sunday brunch with Rick, Paulette, Brayden and Paulette's mom.
Isaac's 1st birthday is coming up this month, so I plan to have some new pictures from that to share with all of you. Ok, so don't hold your breath!
So, not much else new to report. We're looking forward to a visit from Andy and, the real reason we're excited, Jane. Sorry, Andy...I'm just being honest! Will a photo appear on here to commemorate the visit? Well...probably not, but you never know!
Take care, everyone!

*note: I have no clue what happened to the formatting of this page. Any ideas out there? It appears to have gone wonky on me.
*update: Would you look at that?! It appears to have fixed itself....well, sort of...
*update #2: I've decided it was that silly "jussdrop" photo software. I switched back to Picasa and it's all good.
