Same Old Stuff

Hello All,

Just checked the site and read Helena’s new post, and realized how long it had been since I posted …. whoops,

So I thought I would, not too much is going on with us

I have just started babysitting one little girl usually about 3 days a week - she is a year older than Aviendha but they get along so great.  And it actually is less work having the three, Aviendha has a play-mate so she and Heidi entertain eachother and I can just strap Qhaden on in the snuggly or set him up with some toys where the girls are and I can get some stuff done ….. well I can get a few things done ….. like maybe 15 minutes … but every second counts : )

We have been settleing into our new house over the past few months and renovation plans are being pushed farther and farther back … both from lack of money and the actual effort.  Actually doing stuff makes such a mess before it gets any better, we are now realizing that fact … hmm who knew.  But the little things are happening … slowly but surely - like we got Aviendha’s room painted.  I think the summer and warmer weather will bring in some more motivation.

Hmmm Lance is loving his job, he has full time work but things slowed down for a few months and are now picking back up for all the Christmas parties.

Aviendha impresses us everyday she catches onto things so quickly and is a real little helper … and a bit of a bossy one too :) She is really into being a princess right now and loves dressing up in any kind of dress.  Which is really fitting because Lance’s mom is taking Avi and I and a few of her cousins to “Disney’s Princesses on Ice” it happens on the 24th and we are soooo excited I know Avi will love it!

Qhaden is growing leaps and bounds he is now 6 months and we went to the doctor for his check-up yesterday and he weighed 19lbs 1oz - he’s a big boy to pack around.  He had 5 teeth and is cutting two more.  He can basically sit up on his own and rolls and inch-worms all over now, the lower shelves are no longer safe.

I think that’s about it for now - and I can never figure out how to do pictures on this thing but I know most of you are on facebook so you can see them there

Hey Sara! Thanks for the update! I totally hear you about the home renos…we’ve been planning to finish our basement for months now (however all we’ve done so far is a bit of cleaning and organizing)! Ah well…some day, right? I’m sure Avi will LOVE Princesses on Ice. Be sure to take lots of pics because I’m guessing the expression on her face will be priceless!

Have a happy Christmas!
