Frunty loves helping with the flowers and when we approach our home, he yells, "Look at those geraniums, they're bootiful!" The pink flowers on our back porch were chosen by Frunty and he takes care of them, as you can see!

"We did it!"
Today we are full-term, yeeha! We made it to 37 weeks and I celebrated with an early morning run through Woluwe Park. With my new support belt, I feel great and completed 45 minutes with no problems. Now Tiny Baby can come any day! We are so excited!
Last night we celebrated K and E's engagement. I made banana leaf, sticky rice, and chocolate oaties...both designed to help K carbo-load for tomorrow's 20 K run. K made an excellent lasagna. We watched the sunset on their roof top...what a view of the city! K is already writing a list for my Mom and aunt of things to do and rules to follow as they will stay chez eux during their visit. It is such a nice area of town too.
The last few days we have had 30 degrees Celsius in the shade. It has been very hot. I am glad I got a run in before the heat wave hit and I did one stair work out thursday but yesterday, it was too hot to do anything! Tomorrow it is supposed to cool down a bit and be rainy which is way better for the runners. We will go to the race to take pictures of K and S, another friend, and I am so tempted to walk and run it...it isn't too late to join in the fun as S accidentally got two numbers...I will really have to think about it.
All our Tiny Baby clothes have been washed and are almost dry, my bag has been packed, we are getting our documents in order...I think we are almost ready to go except for the name business...still can't think of names. It isn't a question of deciding on a few we like...it is a question of finding ones we like...what a hard job again.
The other special thing to celebrate today is the wedding of L and B in Toronto. We wish we could be there. I bet it is going to be very beautiful especially given that it is at Black Creek Pioneer Village. We will have to content ourselves with photos. Our gift to them is Belgian Chocolates from Leonidas with the letter A on them. We will celebrate with them one day in person. Good luck, L and B!

Happy Birthday, to our lovely niece, K, in Port Credit! Hope you have a fun day!
Nonna sent me this wonderful quote today. Thanks so much, I love it too!

Envy can be a positive motivator. Let it inspire you to work harder for what you want.

Funny underwear moment: On Saturday in the car, I asked Frunty if he had to go "pee-pee" and he said, "yes...I want to go pee-pee in my underwear." I tried to persuade him not to but then his face went all calm and his eyes were just staring straight ahead and I knew he was going ahead with what he wanted to do. And I am really positive that Frunty really wanted to just see what it was like because all week he has been holding it so well and maybe he was just curious about what it would feel like. He didn't do it again the rest of our car trip to and from Holland. Anyway, maybe some people would be furious but we thought it was really adorable and funny. Frunty wanted the experience and now he knows what it feels like to go "pee-pee" in his underwear!
