Oh my I didn’t realize how long it’s been since I last wrote anything. Some days just fly by and I can barely remember what I did.

Sophia is currently napping in he crib and I must say I am a bit jealous of her. She looks so comfy there. I know I have said this before, but I really want to climb into her crib and snuggle. She has also started her second set of swimming lessons, and I must say that I do not like our swim instructor. You can obviously tell that she has no clue what she is doing. I know that right now swimming lessons are meant for babies to get used to being in the water, but she still needs to take some charge and actually teach us moms how to do certain things. I have taken this class before so I know what do to and how to properly put Sophia under water, but the rest of the moms have not done that before and the swim instructor  just said to put them under water. No instruction, nothing, poor babies must have been pretty shocked from that. Ugh, I don’t like paying for something and having it a waste of time. It’s a good thing that 2 of my friends and their kids are in the class, otherwise I would have switched to a different class.

I am really excited that it’s thanksgiving this weekend. I have been craving turkey for a long time now and can’t wait to sink my teeth into that bird. Sounds tasty doesn’t it??? We have a big dinner planned at Brad’s grandparents house on Sunday, and then a lunch at his Aunt Helen’s on Monday, and my parents are having one also Monday night. We may be all turkey’d out this weekend.

Ok I don’t know what else to say and I think Sophia is waking up. Bye bye

I have been thinking what I should write about. Nothing new has happened in the last little while, and life is good, I guess I could write all the things that I am grateful for in my life.

1. My husband. He is the most amazing person that I have ever met. We have been through so much together and yet we’re so happy and in love. He is always there for me when I need him, he supports me in anything that I want to do. He loves Sophie and I more then anything. He works hard to support our family. I could go on and on, but I think you all get the point. He is an incredible man and I wouldn’t trade him for the world.
2. My daughter. Sophia is the light of my life. There is nothing more precious than watching your little baby growing up and learning new things. I love it when I walk into her room in the morning she gives me huge smiles and reaches out for me to pick her up. I love seeing the innocence in her eyes when we play. She is so beautiful and I can’t help but be proud for making such a wonderful baby. She is so patient and gentle, I could have a million of her.  I am so in love with my baby girl and so thankful that I have her in my life.
3. My family. They have been so good and supportive when Brad and I moved back to BC. They helped us out in so many ways. They love Sophie so much and I love seeing her eyes light up when she sees her grandma and grandpa. They have given me break when I need to get some sleep. Sometimes my mom would take Sophie for the night just so that Brad and I could get some rest. I love my parents, and I am so happy that Sophie gets to spend time with them.
4. My in-laws. We don’t get to see them very often, but they were so supportive of Brad finishing his degree. They helped him to get through school so that he wouldn’t have any student loans. They are always so excited to see Sophie and play with her. I hope that as time goes by that she will be able to see more of them. It’s nice that our kids will have grandparents to grow up with.
5. My life. I am so thankful that I have such a wonderful life. I am thankful that I am well and happy, and that I have such a wonderful family. I am happy that I do not have a pessimistic outlook on life and that I am able to see the good and get past the bad.
6. All my other extended family. They have been so great and loving and supportive. I wish that everyone had people like that in their lives.
7. There are many more things that I am thankful for, but I only wanted to list the most important ones.

Sophia being funny

I started this about 3 hours ago…
Yesterday afternoon while Sophia was napping I, was sitting on my couch with my laptop reading up on some things. All of a sudden out of the corner of my eye I see Brad walking by the window. I knew that he had a dentist appointment that day, but he was home awfully early for that. Once he got into the house he proceeded to tell me that he had spent the last 3 hours in the hospital. While he was at work he dropped a very heavy cylinder on his knee and it made the knee cap move out of it’s position, and then it fell onto his foot and broke right through the steal toes boots. Oh I am so happy that we bought those for him, otherwise he would have a few very broken toes. Poor guy is limping around, I hate seeing him in pain. He now has to miss a few days at work since he can’t move around all that well. It’s a good thing that WCB covers his missed days at work.

Right now he is studying really hard for his final. It’s in a few hours and I know that he will do well. I am so proud of him for finishing his BA and doing so well in this class. We’re very excited to fly out to Edmonton this November for his graduation! He put so much work into it and I cannot wait to see him get his graduation papers.

Today Sophia and I took a walk to the pool and then went swimming. She gets so excited when she is in water, I love seeing her so happy. I lost $5 on the way there, or I just have mommy brain and never actually brought the money with me.

Brad just got home from his exam. He is finally done with school. No more papers, studying, no more school(until next year ). He is giving Sophia a bath so I better go and get her bed ready.

I write this with a very loud baby standing next to me. I don’t know what has come over this child recently. I think that she has found her new passion, shrieking. Oh my is it ever loud. I knew that kids get into the throwing fir age far before the terrible two’s hit, but I was not expecting a 10 month old to throw herself on the floor and scream as loud as she possibly can. If she doesn’t get exactly what she wants at the time that she wants it, watch out cause then comes the really loud shrieking.  Anyone know what to do? I would write more, but my attention is being demanded else where. Help!!!
