Treasure Trove

"Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows."

-James 1: 17

The month is over and just look at all the good gifts God has given me! Praise Him! I hope you have enjoyed following this and have been looking for things to be thankful for every day.

Until next time....

Treasure Trove - April 29th

As you may have gathered I like babies. I enjoy gatherings of babies and watching them interact while chatting and hanging out with other mommas. One such babyfest was my treasure today.

Treasure Trove - April 28

Today our friend Christina came over for a great game of Settlers of Catan, it was a great time. I love that game. One might say I treasure it.

Treasure Trove - April 27th

Both my girls are learning new tricks every day and Kaylyn's newest favourite is sitting up on her knees and looking out the windows. When my Mom arrived today with my brothers and Grandma she was watching out the window and it was so sweet, it was my treasure for today.

Treasure Trove - April 25th

Spring is finally arriving! I love sunshine and I am loving watching buds come up around our house, it is very exciting and surprising because we did not plant any of it but there it is! My treasure today is the flowers blooming outside.

Treasure Trove - April 24th

I decided to post my treasure from yesterday, watch later today for today's treasure!

Yesterday we came home from our little vacation and the sun was shining on a beautiful Easter afternoon! We went to the park with the girls to play in the swings but one of them was taken already...my treasure yesterday was sharing.

Treasure Trove - April 19th

The hardwood floor is moving along beautifully, the first (and largest) room is practically finished and my treasure today was working with Mike on it. I like feeling like a handywoman, working the saw, seeing everything come together and working with Mike. Sometimes the girls try to help too, they are handybabies.

Treasure Trove - April 18th

Since the girls were born Mike and I have gone on three real dates, we have gone out without the girls apart from these times but most of those trips were looking at houses so they don't count as dates. Tonite was one of those three dates and it has been lovely. We went to Crossiron Mills and then came home for tea, I forgot my camera on our way out the door so these pictures are from at home. Today, without a doubt, my treasure is my date with Mike.

Mike won a ipod, I am really excited about using it and putting some pictures on it, I think it will come in handy. Excitment / winning things = treasure.

Treasure Trove - April 16th

Today stuff is getting done! We finished painting our room and began laying hardwood, soon we will be done and be able to move in upstairs. My Dad was super busy today but still made time to come over and help us get the hardwood started. Thank Dad!

I think I have the most amazing siblings ever. Today my younger brothers both came over to hang out with the girls and help me out. Elias is beginning to take an interest in baking and I could not be happier as every time he comes over he tries out something and leaves me delicious treats, I loved baked goods! Thanks for all your help today guys, thanks for playing with the girls, they like you and thanks for the brownies! Your visit is my treasure today!

Today Glynis came over for a sewing day, during which we have not sewn. We did however look through a couple boxes of fabric that our Aunt gave us awhile back. In these boxes we found a gem: vegetable and fruit fabric, we proceeded to create a quilt pattern to use these amazing fabrics and I have now cut the blocks. I am extremely excited about this quilt. Great fabric that was given to us is my treasure today.

Last night Mike and I picked out paint for our room. Since I could not come to Rona with him because it was supper time for the girls he went and got a few paint chips for us to look at, and by a few I mean a lot. It was fun to lay them all out on the floor and have our own little paint store. After we finally made up our minds we preped the walls for painting. Spending time with him and choosing paint was my treasure for today. I like Mike and I like paint.

Today was sunny and glad looking outside! As opposed to yesterday's deceiving sunshine with bitter wind it was lovely weather today for a walk, so walk we did. Today my treasure is getting outside in the sun. (Summer you can not come too soon.)

Treasure Trove - April 11th

Since Jael got her own the other day I figured it is Kaylyn's turn.

Over the last couple weeks it has been so fascinationg to watch Kaylyn learn to crawl. Many things the girls learn to do seem to come on slowly but every day I have seen her get better at crawling. A week ago she was scooting herself across the hardwood on her belly and now she is crawling all over the place and enjoying the new freedom. I think she has always wanted to move and now she can!

Here's to learning new things, here's to Kaylyn motoring around: my treasure today is watching her.

Treasure Trove - April 10th

When Mike and I went to Mexico I assumed that the hotel would have conditioner. I was wrong. So when we went into a nearby town a few days into our stay we went to a store called 'Mega' and I was very excited to finally have conditioner. When we came home I went back to using my old stuff but when we moved last week it was the first stuff I found so now it sits there and reminds me of sunny days and beaches. I like it. I don't think I am the type of person who would usually say this but today my treasure is my conditioner :)

Treasure Trove - April 9th

Today I spent almost all my time away from home, but I am still sneaking this in on the right day!

We recently bought a house and we are removing the old carpet from upstairs and replacing it with hardwood. As with most renos the job seems to be getting more involved as we go along, there was particle board on the subfloor which had to be ripped up and replced with plywood. Today the plywood is all down and we are now ready for hardwood. We would not be able to get so much done without a bunch of help so you are all my treasure today! Dad, Mom, Tyler, Josh...Thank-you!

Treasure Trove - April 8th, 2011

I don't often spend time with only one of my girls because there are two of them and they are on pretty close schedules. However, both of them have not been feeling well this week and it is making Kaylyn have longer than usual naps while Jael is still taking regular naps. Both today and yesterday I have spent a couple hours with Jael playing in the sunshine and eating cheerios. Instead of being annoyed that they are not both sleeping together I want to treasure the time I get to spend with either of them so today my treasure is my time with Jael.

Treasure Trove - April 7th, 2011

If you are not a mother you won't quite understand. If you are a mother it requires no explanation.
Today my treasure is some good 'ol shower therapy.
