What can I say...I take only pictures of my sons lately !!!
I spend so much time in the house...

Luca started smiling last week.  Real smiles. It is really great.
Luca sleeps for 5 hours stretches at night. That is really great too.

Happy 2nd month anniversary baby !

my boyz

Thank you again to Madame Nicole for the great pictures ! 

They are priceless.

it was my birthday at NuVu

and I had a great time ! a wonderful time !
thanks friends !
(picture of the girls - the boys are on the other side !)
and thanks to my mom who babysat both boys !!!

on a rainy day last week

Playing in the garage and with playdough inside !
Fun !

success story

First photobooth with the two boys!
I had only a few seconds to get it right betwwen each flash :
Mateo, stick out your tongue
Mateo, smile
Mateo, pout
Mateo, normal face!
Wow !
We were cramped in !
Mateo told me : maman, j'ai pas de place !!

Luca was wondering what was going on...

Luca

He is such a good boy !
Recognize the vest Annona?

fabric for the trailer

yeah baby !

the day before...

Madame Nicole - our great babysitter - came to take pictures of Mateo and my belly the day before Luca came into this world...

They turned out great!
Thanks so much !
It is a great souvenir!
She is coming again tomorrow to take pictures of the boys....

I miss walking and swimming

The doctor told me to stay really quiet the first 6 weeks.
A second c-section is harder.
My body is not recuperating as fast as the first time.
I still can't lift Luca in the car.
Yesterday, I went for a mini walk and it hurt after.
I just have to be a bit more patient...

baking cakes

This was the inspiration.
I bought all the right stuff and did not change the recipe or the instructions.
And this was the result :

Not as colourful, not as vibrant...
Had a few techical problems with the dough sticking to the pan...
Vicky helped a lot - or should I say she assembled the whole thing 'cause if it would have been me, it would have been disaster!
Alex and her friends loved it - that's what's important - and it tasted pretty good too !

a new project : a new head board for our bed

You know me : I always need a project.
The problem is : I don't have the budget!
But this should not be too expensive.
Want to give my bedroom a new feel...
It will a different colour than this one, a different shape...but this will get me going...

we got the camper ! yeah !

My lovely husband (and super Gaby!) went to get the trailer last weekend!
This is what it looks like now :

I know it needs a lot of work but this is the plan :

I'll be open to suggestions friends.
I'll be starting next spring.
I'm so excited !!
Thanks M for making it come true.
and a special thank to Dodo for giving me the idea ! Lots of art dates ahead in our gypsy caravan!

mateo is at the day care and Luca is sleeping - ahhhh...

it feels so good!
I have a little bit of time alone to breath.
breathing meaning : taking a shower, checking my e-mails, tidying up the house...and just enjoying a very quiet house.
ahhhhhh.....
silence never felt so good.

time in the house

I have been spending so much time in the house in the last month.
Much more than when Mateo was born.
Now, I have two boys and they don't sleep at the same hours so that the confines me in the house a lot.

For now, I am okay with it since I am still a bit weak and tired.

For now, I am okay with it since it gives me time to journal and to blog which I know I won't have the time to do as much when M goes back to work.

For now, I am okay with it since it keeps me away from shopping centers and keeps my budget under control. (Shopping on-line is tempting me but so far I am resisting !)

For now, I am okay with it since it is so different from my regular schedule.

For now, I am loving it because I am spending so much time with Lucachino (Mateo is always off with this dad).
