A Card from my Unborn Babies!!

This morning for Mother's Day I got the most beautiful card from my unborn babies!! I didn't even know they made such cards. DH made some custom adjustments so that it said 'we' and had a picture of 3 babies on it. His love and thoughtfulness continues to amaze me. The babies also gave me some handmade moccasins from Canada to replace the ones I have worn out, that we bought together when we got engaged in Banff National Park. He is going to be a great Dad! The card made me both cry and laugh. I just wanted to share it with all you Mommies to be!

Yes, it is a small world, eh? DH teases me about saying eh. I lived in Calgary when I met him and he was in California. The second time he came to see me, he shoveled my driveway for me. He had never experienced that much snow! That's when I knew he must really love me

In the spring when he came to visit we went to Banff and took the gondola up Sulfur Mountain. We walked to the top of the board walk to the old Rangers Station and he got down on one knee and proposed. It was really amazing. People clapped and cheered. LOL Banff is our special place. We live in California now and I do miss the mountains! One day we will go back to visit ~ but we will have 3 little ones by then
