Michael Cobb B.A.

After 5 long years, and 3 schools and one major change later Michael graduated from the University of Lethbridge on June 2, 2011 with a Bachelor of Arts with a Major in History.. It's been an interesting Journey. I can't say all of it enjoyable but I can say I am extremly proud of Him. I blame it on my Hormones but as the precession started my eyes began to water and my heart swelled. He made it despite the curveballs Life through his (our) way. And I do have to say, He was pretty darn Handsome in his Regalia.

























(poor Cameron had had enough after over 3 hours of sitting. )





Congratulations my Michael! Cameron and I love you and are very proud of you!

(Now go find a Career ;) )

Learning to dance in the rain

I'm discovering that there are many lessons to learn from our little people. Cameron is at an age of Wonder! Everything is new and exciting. Everything is amazing and reason for more exploration. Everyday things we take for granted, he finds complete joy and wonder. For example an ant crawling or a bird flying or just plain grass. He crouches down and takes the object of his attention completely in. Processing all it has for him to discover. We have been having a lot of rain. There was one week about a month back that it didn't let up. About three days of being cooped up both he and I had extreme Cabin Fever. Cameron kept begging to go "side". So I relented, put on his boots and rain coat. Grabbed the Umbrella and headed out into the cold wetness. Cameron played as if the day was no different from a sunny one, as I stood freezing under the umbrella.




The quote that came to my mind as I watched him is " Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain."

It's a ........

BOY!

I am super Exited to announce that Cameron is going to have a Baby brother.
Like any Pregnancy there is always Family and friend speculation, half said girl th
e other half said boy. And me? I really had no clue. It really didn't matter. I would love to have a little princess but I love how Cameron plays with his cousins (80% which are boys) and how he plays with the Boys in his Nursery class and I thought it would be super fun if he had a little brother a perma-playmate. And that's what he's getting.
We are Super Excited.

I have mixed feelings about Ultrasounds. I love seeing the little miracle growing inside. I HATE holding my bladder! I always end up drinking to much just out of paranoia that my bladder won't be full enough and then I end up being super uncomfortable.
So Yesterday I get to the place 15 min early. What I didn't know is that the time they tell you is 15 minutes before your actual appointment to leave room for signing in and registration. So I had to wait for half an hour before getting to go in.

The appointment took an hour and 15 min. One was because I had a student technician but mostly because Baby would not stop moving. Getting measurements and pictures seemed are near impossible task. I'm having another monkey! It's so fun to watch and see. I find growing and having a baby one of the most amazing things. Everything looks good, nothing to be worried about. I'll get the full report when I go back to my midwife.

Here's a sneak peak at our newest miracle.

18 Month Photo Shoot with Auntie Kim

I am feeling so Very far behind. So much is going on. So much to report and tell. So many posts jumbled up in my brain. So Why haven't I been Blogging? Because I threw my Computer out the Window. No not really but I sure have been tempted to multiple times. It might work better if I did. As it is I can't blog with pictures if I want to blog on my own computer. It won't load my memory card so anytime I want to blog I have to go to my Mom or Sisters house with my card to share my life with all you who care to "listen".

So I'm hoping that in the next couple of days I am able to spew out all that's happened to date (including Yesterday's Ultrasound results!).

These are Cameron's 18 month Pictures. Done of course by my super talented Sister Kim. (You can also check her work out on Facebook) These pictures were taken on time. But due to editing and then trying to get my computer to work and not having time or energy to go somewhere else to blog, you get to see them two months late.

Presenting my Handsome little Man, who is growing up way too fast!
