Under the weather

I realize it has been a few weeks for posting, the entire family had the flu that turned to the winter cold and to finish it off I ended up with food poisoning! We still have the lingering cough and runny nose but I can handle that! We saw the speech and language specialist and had Ginja's assessment completed, her understanding is at an age range of three and a half so she is on target for that, and expressive speech is delayed but that was what got us the diagnosis to start with. Tomorrow we meet with infant and child development worker to do the intake process and get more help while we wait the 18 months to get into CHEO. So we are the steps to answers. 

Wedding! So I have decided to go with alternative flowers. I will be making flowers from material like chiffon, silk and a few other materials. That took care of the how to preserve my bouquet and saved us a ton of money on our floral budget. I may still choose some fresh baby's breath but will incorporate a lot of twigs, lace and burlap in the centrepieces. 

Look what I won from Julie Keon, www.juliekeon.com !!! I am so excited to attend this awesome show, she is doing a seminar on writing your own vows. We will be fortunate to work with her for our wedding as we have confirmed her as our officiant. Now we have to just pay the deposit for our photographer that I finally decided on!!! I had decided prior to seeing their work in person but are going with BH Photography based in Almonte, Ont. After seeing their work and talking to them at the bridal show in Renfrew, I knew I wanted to book them and they embraced our idea of a first look. Then on the Monday following the show I received an email telling me that I won their $500 off giveaway! I could not have been more excited!! Check out their awesome work www.bhphotography.ca

I am getting more and more excited as we start to prepare the details and finalize our vendor list. It also reminds me there is so much work to be completed. Look for my future posts on with some how tos!
