Back Home On The Farm: Eloise Does Easter

Good day fine readers...I have been trying to write this post for a week but I just haven't had time! I don't know where the days go! Eloise's first Easterwas just so lovely. Last Easter I was wishing for a baby, not realising I already had one a-brewin'. This year, she's here! Life is beautiful isn't it? We had a wonderful weekend filled with family, friends and fresh country air....Eloise was as perfect as the weather...and she was a big hit with everyone... : )

Spring has a serious head-start in Niagara. NO FAIR.

Those booties used to be mine. : )

The Brothers themselves at the launch of their first ever beer for purchase. It was delicious...and Eloise slept in her car seat under the table just long enough for James and I to try it...Check out their facebook page for more updates on when more beer will be available and don't forget to head over to their kickstarter page to leave a donation and get a prize. Help a brother out!

Eloise meets the sheep...

Three generations.

You never understand how much your parents love you until you have a child of your own.

The ladies...

Eloise loves to 'off-road'

Hmmmm..prosecco,chocolate, and vintage Easter cards!? Soooo blog worthy. : )

Eloise and Granddad catching up..

Backyard envy

The babes...

I painted my toenails for the first time in over a year. I feel pretty despite the toxins leaching into my skin. Essie is three free so it's not sooo bad. ; )

I hope you're all having a wonderful week so far. Lets see if I can come up with an Inspire Me Thursday before tomorrow. I've been having a bit of an inspiration block the past few weeks. I tried to redecorate a room and it turned into three days of painting because I changed my mind three times. James' patience astounds me.

All my love,

Desiree

Back Home On The Farm: Our Last Visit Without A Child!

Hello old friends,
It's been a while since we've talked. I hope you're all enjoying this beautiful fall season we've been having. All I want to do in this kind of weather is curl up with a good book, a knitting project, a good cup of tea or maybe a pumpkin spiced latte if I'm feeling especially cliche... and listen to some Joni Mitchell, preferably on vinyl. It's the best season, and this year it's especially good because I get to get all cozy with my big baby bump while it jumps around from side to side reminding me of the little lady that is gearing up to make her arrival into the world. Pregnancy has had its fair share of unpleasantness, but these days,spending the evenings sitting with James watching my belly move is pretty amazing. We're so excited to be parents…: ) Getting her little cloths all ready, washing all the receiving blankets, it's finally almost time!

Our lives lately have been all about family and I've really felt grateful for all of them…especially my Mom and Dad. They're still taking care of me and I don't want them to ever stop! I can't wait to make them grandparents… Can you sense that my pregnancy hormones have turned me into more of a sap then I was before!? God, you should see what happens when I watch Parenthood. I don't even watch it when James is around, it's embarrassing.

Here's a little glimpse into what life is looking like for us right now complete with a couple weekends away on the farm for the last time without a baby of our own...
