So it took longer than the weekend, but here I am. Finally. Hopefully for good this time, but no promises. Today I'm going to try and catch up (somewhat) on what has happened since I last blogged.
Summer
-was kind of a blur
-didn't seem terribly "summery"
-we didn't go on vacation or anything exciting
-took about a million day trips to Calgary for Dad's eye appoinments
-we had lots of bonfires with the requesite hot dogs and marshmallows for roasting
-was HOT and I loved it!
-went swimming once
-went "camping" in the campground a block away from our house. The kids loved it and since we couldn't go too far from Dad, it was the best we could do.
-didn't do most of the things we usually do because of all the trips to Calgary
TJ
-grew... a lot
-now wears a size 6 clothes and size 11/12 shoe
-loves to run
-started kindergarten and loves it. He gets sad the days he doesn't have school
-comes home every day and asks to do "homework"
-says some of the funniest things. Yesterday, in the van, he said that he needed to watch tv and play games on my phone because using electronics was one of his talents.
Myles
-is actually a size 2 now, not just a kid drowning in his clothes
-is talking a lot more, some of which you can actually understand
-wants to go everywhere TJ goes
-loves parent preschool
-loves nursery
-still naps every day (thank heavens!)
-is super protective of Kezia
-finally graduated to 6-12 month clothes (mostly)
-weighs a whopping 16.5 pounds
-had her first birthday in July
-took her first steps a month or so ago and just barely decided that walking is ok most of the time
-naps every day
-loves playing with her brothers
-has the chicken pox at the moment. Most of them are in her mouth, so she is beyond cranky.
James
-is not getting the shifts we need him to get in Calgary, so he took a security job in Lethbridge. It sucks. I'm cranky about it and so is he. End of story.
-is working really hard at being patient with TJ and doing a good job most days
-is such a great Dad!
-is still the love of my life
-got released as a Relief Society teacher, which I'm super sad about because I loved that calling and didn't get to do it nearly long enough
-got called as the ward music chairman, which is super exciting
-got an iPad at the end of August because the business hit all the insane goals we set!
-went blondish for a bit
-took the shoes to Whoop Up Days. It was a long but awesome week.
-Went to see Mama Mia. Amazing!
-is officailly legally blind
-had 2 more surgeries
-has been told this is about as good as his eyes are gonna get. He did not take it well.
There you go. The past few months in a nutshell. Now, here's hoping I can keep up!

That freaking sucks about your Dad. I love that Kezia has enough hair for a little ponytail. Congrats on exceeding all your sales goals, fantastic. I wish we lived closer to help you out more, espcially all the times that you need someone to look after your kids. It also sucks about James' job.
Hmm, I think I can just say ditto to Maureen's comment! It's amazing that you stay as positive as you do. I'm proud of you!!!
