Hello everyone!
Thanks for
asking about me, Mel. Congrats on your eldest being in K. How did you feel
about that? Glad to hear that preschool is helping your son's speech and
temper. I have had Zack in preschool for a year and a half now and he LOVES
it. Though, we have also been walking my neighbor's girl to K so now he
wants to go to school with her instead of to his school, LOL! YEAH Grace on
sitting up!!!
Hi Lisa! Sorry to hear about the H, F & M. That
went through our house when Zack was about 2.5 and, lucky me, caught it too.
I was 6 or 7 mo pg!! Zack had so many sores in his mouth that he
wouldn't eat at all for a few days (the good part was that he was too sore to
suck the soother so we FINALLY got rid of it then, LOL!) and had them on his
hands but none on the feet. I could not eat for a few days (not fun when
you are pg!) but hands and feet didn't get much of anything on
them.
So, for
those of you who are wondering how things are going around here... It's all
good. :o) I have seen Chris almost every weekend since we met (I think
this will be the 3rd weekend that we've missed in almost 2 months so that's
not too bad). He has come down to see us a couple of times, drove us down to
Creston, BC to visit my parents then came down the next weekend to stay with
us there. Thanksgiving, I spent 5 child-free days at my parents' with Chris as
well.
Things are really
going well between us. In fact, he just asked me to spend Christmas with
him in California at his parents' place!!!! I have never been to Cali before
so that in itself is very cool (they live in the Napa Valley) but to want me
to spend the holidays with his family must mean that this is more than just a
fling to him.
Of
course, I want to spend the holidays with my boys so to make it work out for
everyone I have had to do some fancy planning and it sounds like it is going
to work out well. As soon as Zack is done school, we are going to hop on a bus
and head out to my parents'. Hopefully my brother, his wife and the twins will
be able to come down early and we will have a "mock" Christmas morning with
the kids. A few days before Christmas we will come home and the boys will
go to their dad's for actual Christmas (he didn't see them for 3 weeks during
the holidays last year so it's only fair that he has them this year, as hard
as it will be for me to be without them that morning) andChris & I
will drive down to Cali for the week. I am SOOOOO
excited!!!!!
Also, Chris has asked me to come with the boys to
his place just out of Calgary for a week in November. That will depend on what
kind of deals that the bus will give me as a family rate. Hopefully it is
feasible because it would be wonderful to spend more time with him. Not
to mention what a great test it would be on how well he deals with kids,
LOL!
So it looks like
the next while will be all about me staying home and saving my
money, LOL! I am making and selling hemp jewelry (I sent out an
e-mail but I'm not sure it went through... If anyone is interested in
hemp necklaces, anklets or bracelets, I make it custom to whatever
you are wanting. If anyone is wanting to get anything for themself or as a
gift for someone, please e-mail me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] for
prices and with any questions you may have. I have pics of what I have
already made so you can see my work.)
So, that is my
life in a nutshell. I hope that all is well with everyone and that you will
all update us with your lives soon.
Take care!
Betty :o) mom to Zack
(Apr/00) & Donovan (Jan/03)
