Pic Update

I've been so incredibly exhausted since getting pregnant and am finding it difficult to keep updates on this blog. I am home today as Owen has a fever so am taking the opportunity to get a post in! Here's an update over the past couple of weeks.

Baby bump at 20 weeks, halfway!! 

Our deck was in need of some tlc but after a closer
inspection Rob decided that replacing all the boards
was a better option as they were all starting to rot

The other side

Railing removed and new boards starting to go on

Other side

Almost finished

Just a couple more to go!!

Today's bump at 22.5 weeks

Four!!

I thought I had posted this a couple of weeks ago, obviously not. My exhaustion has not lightened up and by 7pm I am ready for bed! Here's a late birthday post.
Monday the 18th was officially Owen's birthday so we celebrated on the Sunday with a simple yet perfect party. Leanne, Jamie and Grand Dad Fletcher joined us for a BBQ in the afternoon on a perfectly sunny spring day. Rob got the patio furniture out and we fired up the BBQ and enjoyed the day together.

Early morning excitement, already dressed for
his Pirate Party

You can never have enough balloons

Owen was eager to help decorate for his party

Of course Pirate cupcakes. He was very particular
about how I applied the icing and
decorations. Too cute

After everyone had left it was time to chill on the sofa

Weekly Update

I went to pick Owen up from school but he insisted
that he finish his drawing first. I love that he
is taking so much interest in his work. 

Last weekend we went to Downey's Farm for an
early Easter Egg hunt and some fun

We met up with his friend Malcolm and had
tons of fun

Found lots of eggs that were traded in for a
bag of chocolates

Of course the highlight was the play area. Wooden
train and pirate ship were the fave.

A bit chilly but at least sunny

16 week bump

Winters last effort at hanging on. 

Easter weekend we drove to Uncle Sean and
Aunt Casey's for lunch on Saturday

Sunday morning we were treated with a sleep in and
an Easter egg hunt

I enjoyed my coffee while Owen searched for eggs

pepperoni pizza.

Update in Pics

Seeing as It's been way more than a week since updating I can't really call it weekly update, so here are some highlights of what we've been up to lately.

Owen has begun writing the alphabet and has asked
for a book of his own to write in.

The guys busy working while I stole a nap on the sofa

Rob has framed in a closet amongst the many other
projects he's been working on in the basement

We all went bowling with a friend from Owen's school

We all had a really great time

Owen and I being goofy on a lazy weekend

I believe he asked for a lemonade and popcorn
party, so we did!

15 weeks and getting really big!

Noticed these popping up this weekend in our garden

We were pretty impressed!

The boys took off Sunday afternoon to go watch the
Toronto Rock play lacrosse downtown

Owen was super excited. I even managed to give him
a haircut before they left.

So...

This is happening right now!

Another Fletcher arriving September

Us Three Sickies

It has been a very long month I must say. Owen suffering with two ear infections, Rob with an ear infection and still unable to hear out of one side (we make quite the pair) and I got strep throat. All three of us are all on antibiotics and finally starting to feel better. 

I have taken virtually no pics over the past few weeks so here is a peek of I did manage to capture.

Hot and Sour soup from the local Thai place
is perfect when to sick to cook

Caught this incredible rainbow out of my office
window one recent morning

Leanne and Jamie stopped by on Friday to deliver
a belated birthday treat for Rob and I

Happy Birthday!!

Home today with a sick boy and myself. Perfect excuse to cuddle on the sofa, watch tv and let the "maid" clean the floors while bread pudding is in the oven.

2016 Already!

Time seems to have been going by at breakneck speed this past holiday, I barely remember the month of December and we are already into the second week of January.

Owens version of New Years nibbles

while I enjoyed a cider and Rob a beer

 Between Rob working away on the renos and me trying to
stay awake, we were able to ring in the new year in
style!

Finally some snow to play in

And what's a weekend without a trip to Home Depot

I managed to brew a couple of batches of cider

Pre bed time bananas

Luckily Owen loves burritos as much as we do

His version of Owen

So true.
