WE took Paisley to the zoo on Thursday. She did really good, didn't fuss at all, and seemed interested in some of the animals. We'll have to do it again when she's a little older.

More pictures to come.....

Fantastic Weekend

This last weekend was the annual Calgary Classic. Which is a paper crafting event for us Alberta girls (there are also events in Edmonton and Olds every years as well). I had such a great time, and got lots of visiting with my online friends, as well as lots of inspiration. I got my paper crafting mojo back! This is my second year in attendance, as well as the 2nd year its been run. It's lots of fun, there's challenges, swaps, door prizes, make and takes and all sorts of fun and exciting events. ALthough my time at the actual event was more limited this year, due to Paisley's schedule, I had a blast.

First off, the ladies that welcomed me to their table when I arrived on Friday (I think I was only invited because Paisley was with me at the time ;)). Deb, Linda and Geri (I sat near Deb and Geri last year as well): Not the best pictures, I didn't bring my camera out til I was about to leave, and just snapped them quickly.



There were so many talented ladies there. Here are some of the swaps I received (once again, terrible pictures, as I waited til 10 pm to take them:











And here are a few of my creations on the weekend:





I had one other card that I swapped out that was a flower, but I gave them all away.... so none to take a picture of. But I do plan to recreate it.

Anyway, great weekend for me. Paisley stayed with Josh and Grandma and Grandpa Schroeder. Saturday she wasn't a very happy camper, and wouldn't eat much, but Sunday went much better. Sunday evening we got to FEAST at Great Grandma (Gigi) and Grandpa Ritz's before heading back home.

Picture Update!

Paisley is all smiles these days, especially for Grandma and Grandpa Schroeder (who are visiting).


Here's Paisley with Mom, Mom's sporting her new nursing cover. It's called a Peek-A-Boob nursing cover. :) It's a brilliant design by a stay at home mom here in Lethbridge!


With Great Grandma and Grandpa Ritz:






And here she is ready for bed in one of our favorite sleepers (which is now in the "too small" pile):

Heading out

Heading out for the weekend. Paisley's taking her first road trip to Calgary (which includes her first excursion to IKEA). She also gets to meet Great Grandma and Grandpa Ritz for the first time.

Still having issues with uploading pictures direct to blogger, so here's only one, from 2 weeks ago! She's changed so much since then. She's so smiley and coos. And makes tonnes of new expressions.
