A beautiful day to be outside....

So 2 weeks has gone by again since I've posted, so I thought it was about time for a post and some pictures. Today was a beautiful, sunny day in Yellowknife, getting up to 23 C So Rebecca and I spent some time outside on our deck:


Since I last posted, it was also Mother's Day, as well as our 4th wedding anniversary a few days later. We spent our anniversary going out for supper to "The Office" restaurant, and then rented a movie to watch at home, while our friends watched Rebecca all evening. On Mother's Day we went to church and then to "The Explorer Hotel" for a lovely brunch buffet, it was yummy. No breakfast in bed for me, but that's ok cause then I would have been too full to eat this brunch! Here is me and my Sweetie Rebecca on Mother's Day:


On another note, I bought some strawberries a little while ago, and couldn't believe the size of some of the strawberries they have nowadays. Is it me, or have strawberries gotten bigger and bigger since we were kids? It makes you wonder what they put in them to get them that big! See what I mean, since when is a strawberry supposed to be bigger than a kiwi?


But the strawberries and the kiwis were a nice addition to this chocolate cheesecake I made. As Rachael Ray would say, Yum-O!!

Pics from today....

Here are some pictures from from today. This morning Rebecca STOOD beside the couch! Well okay, so her legs were tight and she had a lot of her weight on the couch, but still, I had never seen her hold that position for that long, she was like that for about 30 seconds! Enough time for me to run and take a couple pictures at least, haha. Then the rest are of her just being happy sitting in her Kimba chair (which she often does not like). We even went for a nice walk outside for over 1/2 hour this afternoon, enjoying the beautiful sunshine.
