What to expect.

What can you expect when you're expecting another member of an already wonderful family? You can expect your family to be more than it was before. You can expect your ability to love to somehow expand. To stretch. You can expect a sore body but a quiet excitement bubbling within your already beautiful family. You can expect the connections shared within your family to branch out and become more beautiful than they already were. You will anticipate someone special, but not know them yet... which makes the eventual meeting that much sweeter. I love this family, growing another beautiful soul... Looking forward to meeting the new addition, when he arrives. xo This beautiful bunch look familiar?? They come all the way from Port Alberni to see me every time, and I couldn't be more thrilled to be such a big part of preserving their family history, and memories. Here they are expecting Blake... and when he arrived.

Out like a lamb?

In the past two days a lot has happened. In the middle of the night approaching March 12 2012 we awoke to the sound of incredible winds crashing into our house. Our entire house was shaking. We are west coasters, we are no strangers to storms, we welcome it, love it even. This one, however... was brutal. We were quickly reminded by mother nature who was indeed, in charge. March 12 until about noon, was a blur of power outages, reports of the devastation around town. {SEE CAMPBELL RIVER WINDSTORM IMAGES HERE}

Yesterday, was my 33rd birthday. I turned 33 years old during one of the worst windstorms in Campbell River's history. Kind of wild.

This morning, as planned I started potty training our almost two year old {someone give me strength} and in somewhat humorous fashion as I was cleaning up messes and 'accidents' in our own home as a somewhat disheveled mother {OKAY TOTAL WRECK OF A MOTHER} I also was featured on an amazing mommy blog "On to Baby" which was created by the ever popular "Wedding Chicks". It is Tiffany and Bradens maternity session, a total favorite of mine and It is so amazing to be recognized and featured by some truly inspired and lovely ladies. I am so grateful!!

Over the past few wild days there were numerous {countless} accidents inside our house as well as outside. I am grateful that the only accidents we were involved with included the potty... inside our home.

As I enter my thirty fourth year in this life I am aware of one thing only, this year has potential. Potential for anything, everything or for nothing. The choice is mine. Thank you so much for your love, your well wishes and for your comments, your "likes" and all things in between.

I've also come across a few of my images online from sources that surprised me. I've found pinners {on Pinterest} sharing my images, and I like to see my images shared and loved by others. I thought it would be nice for me to have a board of images I've come across of mine, on Pinterest shared by others. If you are interested, the images I've found are here http://pinterest.com/erinwallis/my-images-pinned-by-others/ ps....Dear beautiful, bountiful universe and all professional mothers everywhere... please wish me all things glorious from potty training goddesses everywhere.
