---We're not going to see too much of this guy next month. He's doing some out of town electives in Emergency Medicine for the month of April. Two weeks in Edmonton, and then two weeks in Canmore. We know for sure he can come home after the first week of Edmonton for the weekend, but after that who knows! If I wasn't so pregnant I would take the kids for a visit at some point, but I don't know if I'm brave enough (or awake enough) to make the journey by myself - to either place. So we'll just see what his schedule ends up being, and hope we get to see him once in a while next month. We sure are going to miss him!---

---The wall in my scrapbook room all set up, complete with cool lamp, magnetic board and fancy made-by-me clipboards. Now if only the rest of the room looked as nice....---

---its seems I'm not the only one having babies around here. We discovered a bunch of baby fish in our tank. We're not totally sure how many are in there, but it will be fun to watch how many actually survive to be big enough to fend for themselves---

---An Easter party at a friends house. This was only about half the kids there, and they all had fun coloring eggs, making Easter crafts and hunting for chocolate eggs in the toy room. Fun chaos at it's best---

---Yes, I'm totally spoiled. I'm in Banff with Sean once again while he's at a conference. Our room was on the other side of the hotel this time, so we had a different view - there is a skating rink down there when it's cold enough to be frozen and a fire pit with some benches. It would have been real romantic like, if the rink was open and I wasn't too pregnant to skate anyway. But the lights were pretty from our room---

---He really likes getting his hair cut, can you tell? It's funny because when I take him to a salon, he's totally fine, and just sits there quietly until they are done. I don't like to take him to a salon every time he needs a haircut though, because his hair grows so fast we could easily go once a month. But anytime I try to do it at home he freaks right out. I thought it might just be for me, so I asked Sean to cut it this time. But it turns out he gets just as upset when Daddy cuts his hair. He ends up getting mouthfuls of hair, which just makes him more upset. Add on the clean-up after and it ends up being a real gong show. I guess it's worth the $15 to take him somewhere---

---My project life kit! It's made specifically for those doing the picture a day thing. Each page protector has a spot for 4 4x6 pictures and 4 journaling spots. In the boxes are journaling cards, a date stamp, and date stickers. So all I have to do is print off the pictures, jot down the journaling from the blog, and I'm done! What a great way to have a hands on copy of all these pictures I'm taking. I love it!!---

---Today Grandma Frache turned 80 years old! We spent the afternoon at her house where over 40 of her friends came by to wish her a Happy Birthday. She received several phone calls and beautiful flowers too. Grandma had a great time visiting and eating her favorite - Black Forrest cake. The next day she couldn't talk at all, she totally lost her voice from all that visiting and laughing! Happy Birthday Grandma!!---

---Is it just me, or is he still too little to be going to school, let alone getting to the classroom by himself? It's still so hard to just drop him off in the morning and watch him race across the school yard alone. Maybe I'll be OK with it when he hits middle school. Maybe.---
