Spina Bifida Awareness Month

It is officially that time again! I know June is almost over but I still have a little over a week to promote my cause. June is Spina Bifida Awareness Month and I know everyone has heard this about a million times from me but I am going to say it again! Make sure that yourself or the woman in your life is taking taking 0.4 milligrams of folic acid daily BEFORE they are pregnant. Most cases of Spina Bifida can be prevented by just this little and easy daily ritual of a pre-natal vitamin pill. Remember, that this applies to every woman in their child bearing years as 50% of pregnancies are unplanned and this defect occurs before you even know you are pregnant!  Do check out www.sbhasa.ca for more info.
 Secondly and just as importantly!  Mark your calenders, Saturday August 28, 2010 at 10:15am is the official start time of the first annual Calgary Hope Classic at South Glenmore Park!  I am part of a small comity planning this event and we need runners walkers and wheelers to attend this event.  Please don't let all of my months of hard work go to waste and come participate in this event!  Also, there is a huge BBQ with tons of food for after the event, so for $18 for a good time, a free shirt and a meal you can't loose.  Register at the link below!


If you are not a runner/walker/wheeler we are accepting volunteers to help before and during this event (and you still get a free shirt, food and entertainment)!  Just let me know.

It's only funny because it didn't happen at my house...

I know, it's been almost a month.  Only 5 months to go and maybe I will be better!  The only reason that you are getting photos now is because my sister took them when she was watching Sterls for dayhome and e-mailed them to me, requiring no effort on my part.  Do know that when I get some ambition I do have a couple projects that have been completed plus some really rad photos of the Sterly.

I think it is really cute that Corbin and Sterls fell asleep playing together, but why would you pick hardwood as the final destination for your head?
These next set of photos are seriously cute.  I believe this is to be true, particularly since it did not happen at my house and I did not have to clean up the giant mess.  I can hardly recognize Sterls in these pictures.  He looks so different as an floury albino baby.  You have to admit that the would be pretty fun, even for an adult!



We went to Canmore overnight last weekend with some friends.  I actually got a baby tan, for those of you that know me well this is a huge deal.  I am pasty white and remain that way all summer even though I spend all free time outside.  It makes no sense to me.  It was really fun plus the 28 degree Celsius weather was an added bonus.  Especially after this month long bout of rain.  I did not however take any photos as that would have required some amount of effort on my part.

We are going on vacation to Kelowna soon, so hopefully my photographic lull will pick up and you will get tons of photos (of my laying on the beach doing nothing).  Also a friend from Utah is coming to visit, so I will have a life again for a week and a half and make my lazy self do tons of fun things.  So fingers crossed, good photos to ensue....
