We are heading into FALL. My favourite season...

The little man is starting Montessori preschool. Actually, it's called "toddler time" because it is for 2-3 year olds. Two mornings a week, two hours. 4 hours a week I am looking forward to =) Probably just end up doing errands with only one babe in tow. Sounds relaxing.

I am going back to school as well. 2 courses. 6 hours a week. Wow - I'm up to 10 hours now of kind of "me" time. If you can count going to school "me" time? But I really do LOVE going to school. Like, really love it. Even if I am taking Income Tax II and Intermediate Accounting. I would have a year and a half left if I was going full time. Wow. That would be quick....my goal is to be done in the next 5 years!

I other news, little missy got her 4 month shots today. She was again, devastated...still she is upset, almost 12 hours later. She did have a nice loooong nap this afternoon, but when she is awake, so is grumpy. Very out of character for her. Poor girl.

And if you are interested in stats, at about 10 days shy of 5 months she is an ounce under 17 lbs. and 26"long. Yup...that means BIG. Still over 95%tile for the 5 month chart.

we're back

We are home from a few days on Mayne...the bags are unpacked, laundry is going, grocery list is made, and life is back to its usual pace.

The kids are napping, and I am catching up on all things Internet. I will post some pictures soon of our time and some of the highlights - including my first time kayaking, and some fun ocean beach exploration!

Hope everyone had a good weekend...

here we are

The first post on the new blog. Thanks for following me over here.

Today I am preparing for our small trip away. My parents have a cabin on Mayne Island. It is a wonderfully relaxing place, and I am saddened that I have not been there in over 2 years! And I have no one to blame but myself for that.

John has 3 days off because of all the extra time he has been putting in this summer. It has been really hectic at his work lately, and he has been taking on a lot. It is a bit surprising, because we thought it might get really slow because of the tough economic times. (probably the most overused phrase of the year.)

Laundry is done, kids bag is packed, dad's favourite cookies are made, John's favourite cookies are ready to be baked....and I am excited for a little R&R. But first up - baby shower tonight!

Until my return....
