Finally a POST!

Finally, I am getting back to it!. Its been a busy and not so busy few months! I have been not feeling the greatest, and haven't been on the computer much. I am just getting slowly back into the swing of things, so hopefully I will be more consistent again!

I've been very sore with this pregnancy, and have spent a lot of time lying down, and even sitting up was difficult, but I am starting to get a few more things done, and move around more. I do something, then sit back and rest for a bit, and then do a bit more.

I am excited that we have decide to expand our kitchen into the dining room. Currently we are all fitting just barely in the kitchen for meals, but with this newest addition on the way, we are thinking more space is needed for us to enjoy meals together. So we are removing a wall between the current kitchen and dining room, and will repaint, and put new flooring down. Ken is also working hard on fixing the basement to make sure we get all the bounce out of the floor as possible before we install the laminate.

The girls have been working hard on their home schooling and Courtney has finished all her Kindergarten phonics, and math. She is ready to start grade 1 and is actually looking forward to it! She is now riding Sarah's old two wheeler! She does an amazing job of understanding sign language, and can remember them very well. She is growing by leaps and bounds.

Sarah is finished her grade three phonics, and is working hard on finishing her grade two math before the end of the year. We are right on track with your other subjects, and are actually spending spring break doing unit studies. We've talked about friends, feelings, Japan, and still need to talk about flight. We are planning a unit on Australia, and that should finish off our grade two curriculum.

Nicole has graduated to a two wheeler bike with training wheels! She loves that is goes much faster then her tricycle, and feels like a big girl. She also enjoys unit study with us, and is working on memorizing her articles of faith, and several songs using sign language. She is the one in our house to make everyone laugh and have fun!

Kenny is growing so big too. He is almost 20 months old now and is getting more vocal. He says a few words, but also communicates lots with sign language. He loves his dad, and will look for daddy come the late afternoon, waiting for him to come home from work.

Better go, I'll post more later... Hopefully!!

NEW Camera!

We are so excited! Our digital camera was not working properly and Ken decided to send it back under the warrenty.

They didn't fix the camera, they sent a brand new one. It was even a better quality then the original one we sent them! This new one has x12 zoom, and 5 megapixels!

Here is a few recent photos!

Sarah and Kenny are playing the the dinning room at bedtime!


This is mommy's NEW FAMILY RING!!! Thanks Daddy!!

Sick Sick Sick!

The past week our family has been dealing with the flu that is going around Magrath. Courtney woke up Monday morning sick to her stomach, and a high fever. We treated her with homeopathic, and tylonal and sent the Kid I babysit on Mondays to a different babysitter.

On Tuesday, Sarah, Nicole, and Kenny also had a fever, and were unable to keep their dinner down from the day before. But later that day were asking for food, and were able to eat lightly. Wednesday Mommy was exhausted and slept most of the day and night! We all took homeopathics, and all of us recovered very quickly, except Courtney.

Friday was the first day Courtney ate real food the entire day. Daddy with the homeopathic avoided the whole thing.
