Runs on Coffee and Cream: bell park

Hello June

Monday, 4 June 2018

It's hard to believe it's June already. I'm not too sure where the time has gone, but here we are.

May

May was a great month. We went to Hamilton for the first time since Emma was born. It was a successful visit and the 5 hour drive there and back went well. Emma slept for most of the drive and we had interesting adventures at rest stops changing diapers and feeding her. We also had my mom up for a longer than normal visit which was nice. There was no rushing. Just hanging out and enjoying ourselves.

We played many games of Catan in May.

Matcha Lemonade season!

Lunch at Twiggs.

The summer heat showed up this month. My walks around the neighbourhood with Emma were now sunny and hot walks. I officially have tank top tan lines. We also went to Bell Park a couple of times. The most recent time was somewhat of a picnic with friends. Too bad their were a gazillion (I'm not kidding) tent caterpillars at the park trying to join us. It was a little annoying.

We ended May with Paramedic Week here in the city. We attended the proclamation last Monday to start off Paramedic week so of course I took a ton of photos of Emma and Adam with the ambulance since this was the first time Emma was at Daddy's work.

June only just started but so far it's been a rainy month. I'd really like for the sun to come back now! We have a lot of fun plans for this month. Graphic-con is this Saturday, which is my first craft show of the year. I've been able to sew a bit with Emma around so I have faith that I'll be able to get back into sewing more and more as she gets older. There's two weekends that family is coming to visit us, Father's Day, our wedding anniversary, and the month ends with a friend's wedding. So it looks like it'll be another busy month.

Can you believe this cutie is 3 months old?!

I'm pumped for the summer with Emma. I have so many things I want to do with her. If you follow me on Instagram, I apologize in advance for all the adorable baby pics! I've been trying to keep them separate in a private account on Instagram. But they keep leaking back into my main account. Whoops!

I'm having a hard time believing that January is just about over. This month has been all about new things and new beginnings; we've been organizing and decluttering, I've been buying new fabric and starting new sewing projects for cons, and I'm trying to organize my life with an in-depth planner.

New fabric!

More new fabric! How great is the Homer one?

The start of my addiction to planner stickers.

A winter walk at Bell Park.

That's a frozen Ramsey Lake in front of me.

The turtles are getting so big.

Logan being super adorable but a really bad assistant in the craft room. He believes all fabric and envelopes are for him to lie on.

I hope January was a great month for you! I'm excited to see what February has in store.

Summer doesn't technically begin until next week, but it already feels like Summer. It's been hot and sunny and we've been trying to get outside a lot.

I found a place downtown that makes bubble tea and they have so many flavours and options! Both Adam and myself got ours with jelly.

I say it every year, but I need to spend more time at Bell Park this Summer. It's my favourite place in the city.

The s'mores frappuccino is back at Starbucks and it's still amazing!

Cotton candy sunsets are one of my favourite things about this time of year.

So we found a groundhog in our yard a couple weeks ago. It was kind of crazy and he was pretty big. Thankfully we haven't seem him since.

Logan can't keep his eyes open when I take a picture with the flash on. It's the most adorable thing.

I'm pretty excited for Summer to officially start, are you?

Happy first day of Fall! Looking back at photos from September I'm seeing a trend... Fall! Even though we've had a few warmer days (kind of hot actually), I'm all about this season.

Fall Mums are everywhere! I still need to buy some for the front of our house.

Adam did buy me a Moon Cactus recently and picked this one out because of the colour. I'm so in love with it! And now I kind of want more...

There's a love/hate relationship with these Halloween candies. I'm a fan of them, though, you can only eat a few at a time.

The Maple tree in our yard is shedding red leaves. They're so pretty but I'm already dreading raking leaves.

Pumpkin cookies from friends are extra yummy.

Seymore loving the box we brought home from Costco.

Catching Logan mid-yawn makes him look like a little monster.

We headed to Bell Park on an exceptionally warm day last week. It was lovely.

I hope September's been good to you so far! We still have a few more Fall activities planned for the next couple of weeks which I'm excited for.

Today is my birthday and I'm really happy. So far the Summer has been great and filled with wonderful moments. I'm not going to write much today but I'll share some of my favourite photos from the last few weeks.
