This Tuesday

I probably shouldn't be starting a new blog considering my oh-so-random updates on my others but this one is bit different than those. This one's personal, it's about me, my family - immediate and extended, and so I think that I should be able to update and post a bit more frequently. I hope :} In any case, I've started it now so I might as well see how it does!

This past Sunday evening we, and by that I mean Obie and I and the kids, went over to one of our friends houses to get a look at their new baby. They had a boy on Father's Day (happy father's day indeed!) and he was named Jacob Andrew after his daddy. Obie and I decided we're going to call him Jake Jr., but then we have a tendency to name our children one thing and call them something else!




Since Rora is so used to babies now, seeing the newborn was like finding a new doll to play with for her but for Zack, Mommy and Daddy holding someone else's baby was infringing on his territory and he voiced his concerns, loudly. But the kid is cute in a not-as-cute-as-my-baby way, but then I think all other babies pale in comparison to your own.

After we got home Arora started playing with some of Obie's tools while he worked in the yard. I don't know for sure what she found and got into, though I have a pretty good idea that it was the tire from the wheelbarrow, and ended up with a greasy kisser!



Yesterday afternoon Zack and I were chilling out in the kitchen and he decided it was time to explore the contents of the cupboards and drawers that he could get into (because like every responsible parent I keep the dangerous stuff locked up :o ) and at long last my little man discovered the pots and pans!! After nearly an hour and a headache later I think that I'll be trying to persuade he try an instrument OTHER than the drums in the future!




All in all, I think this week should be relatively easy on me. I don't have any appointments or restrictions to my time, though I did agree to help my Aunt Linda move her things this week since I have my parents truck but I don't think that will take too much time. Obie's golfing in a tournament this weekend for work so I am at a loss as to what I'm going to do on Saturday with the kids but I'm sure by then I'll have some ideas. Fortunately for me (:D) with him disappearing for that on Saturday it means that I get to disappear for an afternoon or night one day this week... I'm thinking Thursday, but we'll see.

Till next time!!!

Our Newest Treasure

After all the waiting, both patient and impatiently, the baby is finally here!!! So without further ado, I'd like to introduce to you all: Helyn Saphira Marie Our precious jewel ;) Born August 6, 2008 [08-06-08] 5:59pm 7lbs 12oz, 21 1/4 inches (our biggest baby!) As for information on the actual birth, for those of you who are interested... I mentioned in my last post I had a doctors appointment on Wednesday afternoon and when he checked me I was 3cm dilated. Now at this point [1:15pm] I wasn't actually having any contractions and by the end of the appointment he had made arrangements to induce me on Thursday morning - which would have been the 7th. I went from the doctors office to my mom's office to let her know how things had gone and to visit for a few minutes. By 2pm I'd started to have a few contractions but I didn't think too much about them as they weren't really all that different from what I'd been having for the last week or so. By 2:30p...

Trick-or-Treating with the Kids!!

OH A HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!! She was Piglet at 5 months. A devil the next year. Last year Arora was a 'Butterfly Princess Fairy' (she couldn't narrow it down to just one), and this year we settled on being a witch. The decision making bit for the costume, of course, was that it had bright pink in it. But mommy (obviously that's me) was able to find a pair of tights and a sweater in the same shade of bright pink, so on the whole the Witch was a winner!!! Being only three weeks old last year on Halloween Zack didn't actually dress up. In a sense he was just 'a new-born' and we didn't actually take him around at all. This year though we (and I suppose that should really just be 'I') wanted his costume to be something really cute, but cool too. When I was shopping in Calgary a couple weeks ago I was able to find the PERFECT costume, at Old Navy of all places, and though mom and I worried that it might be a bit too big, we were wrong, it ...

A Quickie!

So here's an update on the whole oven/stove issue. Allow me to briefly describe the conversation I had with my mom... Me: It worked before and now it doesn't. It's broken. (somewhat paraphrased) Mom: Check the fuses. Me: I will, but I'd rather have a new one. Mom: And if that's not it then replace the elements. Me: I will. But I'd really prefer a new one. Mom: Dad will be home on the weekend I'm sure he'd could look at it for you, if you need him too. (that one's somewhat paraphrased too but that's the gist of what she said) Me: He can. But I'd REALLY rather have a new one. For Christmas and all. (and I smiled sweetly even though she couldn't actually see it since we were on the phone!) Mom: It can probably be fixed. Me: Probably. Though I'd REALLY just like to get a NEW ONE! Mom: If it can't be fixed, we'll see. Me: (and I'm smiling really big now) Since it's Christmas and all? Mom: Yeah, Christmas. Somehow, ...
