I'm getting really bad at this blog posting thing!! Sorry! It seems I always forget about it and when I do, I'm too tired to sit down and write about the events in our lives! So... here it goes!
Colby is doing really well at the new dayhome! She lives just around the corner from us, so I'm so happy to be spending very little time in my car these days! For the first few days, he must've sensed that something was up because he didn't want to nap! Silly kid... made for some interesting evenings at home with him. Too little sleep during the day meant some very early mornings again! But he settled back into his routine after a few days and is now back to sleeping for his couple of hours in the afternoon. Must be a nice break for Becky! My cousin's son, Connor, also goes to the dayhome, which Colby loves!! They "play" really well together apparently, which is great! That's a far cry from how Landon and Colby "play" together, so I'm glad these two are getting along well! You know he likes it there when he doesn't want to come home when I get there! He cries, kicks, and avoids putting on his jacket at all costs. He sure loves his Auntie Becky!!
Colby continues to amaze us and seems more grown up each and every day. He's talking up a storm lately (although, not as much around other people). It's so cute!! Yesterday, we were at Home Depot and Gerry went down an aisle with a Home Depot guy and Colby said "Daddy go dere!" SO cute!! I was a little shocked, but loved it! He's also very affectionate these days and will now give hugs and kisses when you ask him! Melts my heart every time!! Swimming lessons are going ok... the past two weeks have had us in the deep pool, which he's not a huge fan of because of the temperature change! It's pretty cold in there! On Saturday, we were in the very deep end and he went off the diving board already!! Okay, well, I picked him up and handed him to the instructor in the water, but still, off the diving board! At age 1... crazy!
Gerry is working hard on the basement and is now working on the wood inside the windows and the ledge on the front bay window. We need to start looking at carpet... I just found out how long it takes it to be ordered! Ugh... going to be a long road ahead still. I can't wait for it to be ready for some playtime down there!!
School is going alright... I'm very tired at the end of my day, but am so thankful to live so close to the school. My kids are generally pretty good, just a few that like to make my life difficult. Such is life in any classroom, I suppose! The last weekend of January, I went on a scrapbooking retreat at Rustic Ridge Ranch and Lodge!! Such a great time with some fun ladies! There were 9 of us there at this gorgeous ranch that was a bed and breakfast! Despite the freezing room temperature in the middle of the night (thanks to the veranda door opening!), we had a great time filled with lots of scrapbooking, laughing, and delicious homemade meals! It was very productive too... I finished 25 pages in Colby's album! Yay!!
We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our new niece or nephew! My sister-in-law, Tracy, is now 8 days overdue, so we want that baby to come out soon and meet the world!! Can't wait to meet you, baby!!
I think that's about it for now... I know I say this every time, but I'm really going to try and post more often! Take care! Hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day. Enjoy Family Day!!! I sure wish the weather was a bit warmer so we could enjoy the outdoors this weekend... no such luck! :(
