We're in the final stretch of 2006 and Christmas is 1 month away from today. I can finally bring out the sleeper I bought for Ava(baby Slipp at the time of purchase!). I remember buying this sleeper with the matching hat back in January at baby Mexx with so much excitement for Xmas 2006 and I can't believe it's only a few weeks away! Here are a few pics of Ava in her Christmas sleeper and hat(a little small for her)! Just in case Santa is reading this...Ava has been an exceptionally good girl this year! :)

My Birthday!

Well another birthday has come and gone. I hope 32 treats me as good as 31 has! :) It's been a beautiful year for me. Last year to the day was when I received a phone call from my doctor confirming I was indeed pregnant! What a wonderful birthday gift. :) The months that came only got bigger(litterally ;)) and better!

Today I celebrated my first birthday as a mother and loved every second of it. Pete returned from the gym this morning with a treat and tea from Timmy's for me to enjoy in bed while Ava was still asleep. Then Ava and I listened to Christmas music and played at her gym then Mom and Dad came over to watch Ava while Pete and I dined at the Blue Door(Delicious!...had never been there before). To my surprise the Blue Door offered my very favourite treat of all time...Creme Brulee! Oh Boy I was in heaven!!!

So November 20, 21 and 23rd were big days at the hospital here in Fredericton. I know women were kept in the hospital longer way back yonder which leads me to think that Geoff, Simon and myself had to have been at each others side those 32 years ago in that Blizzard I hear so much about! ;) Cheers to you both! I hope you had super Birthdays and one day...maybe our 40th? We can celebrate together in one big
super duper bash!

Here are some pics...Me and my mini cake from Mom and Dad, a pic of Ava, Pete and myself with the gorgeous flowers Ava gave me! :)

Life is good.

Claire was in town briefly last week and made it over to meet Ava for the first time! Claire will be in Cornerbrook finishing off her last few months of her job then back to Freddy just in time for Christmas. Then I get to meet a pretty important person in her life! :)

Bangor, Maine

We headed over to Bangor Friday night and came back late Sunday night. We did lots of shopping(what else do you do in Bangor!). We had a beautiful drive home and stopped for a scenic view of Mt.Katahdin. Ava is a natural born shopper and was the best little girl for Mommy and Daddy on our trip!
