* You'd see a BIG OLD GRIN on my face because Nory is having an "I LOVE MAMA" day. These days are rare and I'm soaking up every single moment. (Sorry, Phil, but you're going to have to suck it up for this one day only!)
* Yesterday was strange because we didn't get to see Nory for the ENTIRE DAY. She was sleeping when we left for work at 5:30 and was sleeping when we returned from work at 8:30 p.m. (due to an open house). A work day is so much easier when you can return home to a little one who acts like it's Christmas morning upon your arrival. Oh well, the plus side to staying in town all day long is seeing your long lost sister for dinner between work day and work evening!
* Nory is 19 months old today! In honour of this major milestone, she got a new bathing suit (the old ones are too tight!) and some cat slippers. She also got to see Auntie Gem, Uncle Steve, and Grandma Barb for breakfast at the IHOP! SPOILED! :)
* Speaking of milestones, I am 22 weeks today!!!! (And I have the back pain to prove it!). I really meant to take a bump picture today and I am DETERMINED to take one tomorrow. We're struggling with the name game this time around and are hoping that something wonderful comes to mind sooner rather than later. Wish us luck!
* Text messages that say "we're on Guiliana and Bill!!!!!" are really fun ones to receive (thanks Gem!). Seeing the episode you are on, by surprise, while having your post-dinner tea is also an extraordinary experience. Turns out Bill's Kuwait visit made the cut! And we made the guest list for the event last spring! YAHOO!
* Making bento lunches is SO MUCH FUN. Eating them is SO MUCH FUN too. The bizarre thing about this is that they are always healthier than the average lunch (in our experience, at least). Since when do the healthy options legitimately WIN you over?!
* This afternoon I made dark chocolate pumpkin loaf (HOORAY FOR THE FALL-IDAYS!) and banana coconut muffins. I have yet to try the latter but the former is DELISH!
* Nory is a total daredevil these days. Climbing from one couch to another, jumping off her chair - face first onto the floor, dancing on the coffee table, standing nice and proud on top of her lego bin. Ugh. It's like an all day fear factor and the worst part is how she looks at me with this sassy grin before beginning any of these dangerous activities. She KNOWS I hate them...
* Weekends go by so quickly it seems. Tomorrow morning Phil has his first basketball practice of the school year and I am going into school to get some work done. We'll pick up some groceries afterwards and then rush back home to Nory. Oh - and Cathy and Shahid are coming over in the afternoon!!!
* The Biggest Loser aired this week and we're all ready to watch episode one before bed (that is....IF I can keep my eyes open!). The return of other shows we love is always an exciting part of September :)
Enjoy your weekend, Canada! We love you! XOXO

| Nory was a MASCOT MAGNET at the mall today. All five of these guys came running over to play with her as we were walking by :) |
