'Its a new dawn, a new day....and i'm feeling good'

I know that Jan 1 always marks a new year, but for me i truly feel its a new year when SPRING arrives.  Today the sun is shining, the birds are chirping and my windows are wide open. Although winter has been really good to us,  I love THIS weather!!!!!  It always means one thing for me...PUDDLES!  I love puddles whether its splashing through them with boots on, no shoes at all, or driving through them at full speed it seems to bring out a child side and i always have to squeal with delight while driving through them.  Growing up in a very small town with nothing to do, its this weather that was so much fun to play outside.  Finding worms in the dirt, stealing crab apples off trees, planning our next fort and coming home just filthy.  Can't wait until I can experience these things with Rayne and future kids to come.

Happy Spring Everyone!

First Teeth

Its official now Rayne has two teeth that has cut through the gums.   He has his cranky spouts through the day but is still very happy and sleeping through the night.  He loves to chomp on our fingers and every so often I will catch him just sitting there running his tongue over his teeth.  Its hilarious, my bean is growing, growing, growing!!!

This is the best picture I can get of his teeth, the're on the bottom!

First Family Road Trip

This past weekend we decided to surprise family in Calgary, since the last time they saw Rayne was when he was 1 month at his blessing.  I was a little hesitant as the most we have ever traveled with Rayne is the 40 min car ride to Regina.  I wasn't sure how he would handle the 7 hr drive being stuck in his car seat and he was also constipated.  Well I have to say we were totally impressed with our bean.  He was PERFECT!  We only had to stop once to get gas and I had to take him out of his car seat twice, once to change a diaper and another to feed him.  He was smiling and giggling the whole time.  He also fought sleep almost the whole way.  He finally gave in the last 2 hrs of the trip.  We shocked great grandpa and grandma Sudyn, they were very happy to see us.  We also spent most the weekend with Aunt Megan, Rayne made a new best friend with her.

We had lots of fun visiting and eating lots of good food.  Can't wait to go back for another visit.  Rayne was his usual charming self and we are so glad that family got to see him in this stage.  Our trip home was another great drive with no fuss.  Kyle took the following picture when we stopped to eat, its one of my favorites of me and my bean.
