33 weeks pregnant!!!! We went to the Timmins Symphony on Saturday night. These pictures were taken when we got home. Everywhere I go people are telling me that I don't look pregnant until I turn sideways. Just carrying a volleyball. A volleyball that likes to move around alot. Brad talks to my belly and tells it to settle down.

Our house is slowly being over taken with baby things. This little person sure is taking up a lot of room already.
I had a doctor's appointment this morning and he is a bit concerned about my blood pressure being too high. So that means more tests and more visits to his office. Hopefully, everything is still O.K. I think we are pretty much ready if this little person decides to make an early appearance. We have the all important car seat now so we can bring him/her home from the hospital if need be. Can't leave without that.

This past week we have seen all kinds of weather. Last Thursday it was +30, then that night it went down to -4 and on Friday morning we had small snowflakes falling from the sky. One extreme to another. I spent most of Thursday down in our cool basement, and then Friday outside with a jacket on. Crazy.

Brad is determined on getting the lawn perfect this summer. It already looks a lot better than when we bought the place, but he wants to have the nicest lawn on the block. (or yet least as nice as Ed's, our neighbour across the street.)

Brad is getting ready for a fishing trip this coming weekend on "May Run." The May long weekend out here is called "May Run." Everyone wants to run as far away from Timmins as possible for the long weekend. Brad, Erich and Vincent (Erich's brother in-law) are headed out just for a day trip. They have been talking about it for months that you would think that it is some week long extravagant event. I am sure that they will be talking about it for months after.

This past weekend we had two surprise wedding showers for Val. (Erich and Val are getting married on June 30) The ladies at the church had a surprise shower for her on Friday night and then a few close friends that one for her on Saturday afternoon. We can't wait until those two are finally married.

The city of Timmins is in the middle of spring cleanup. Every house is allowed to put out any garbage on the curb that would not be picked up on a normal garbage pickup. Well, talk about making the city look like a dump. You would not believe the amount of garbage some houses have. The houses in downtown Timmins are fairly close to the street, not much of a yard, so the garbage goes from the front door all the way into the street. Anyways, it is a Timmins' tradition that you go and check out what everyone else is throwing away to see what you can find. In the evenings our neighbourhood was very busy with guys in their trucks just scoping out the garbage piles. I guess "what is one man's garbage, is another man's treasure." The Timmins spring cleanup made the CTV news for this area one night. (Yes, the news out here is pretty sad) There was an old French man on there saying that he likes to call it "recycling." Recycling indeed. The stuff probably just ended up on their own garbage pile the following year.

That has been our excitement for this past week. Not too much happening, but we always seem to be busy doing something. I'm not to sure what though.
