Orange hair?

I thought I would post a couple of pictures's of Justin's cousins Amos and Hannah to show you that Sam isn't an "alien" in our family with his copper top!

Back in the groove

Well life here has seem to have settled into somewhat of a routine. Justin's working partime on Saturday's and Sunday's 8-2 at Petro Canada. PRAISE THE LORD, Justin was accepted for EI. Which is good because now he can take a little time to figure school and work options out instead of having to jump right into something that he may not want to do or that wouldn't be the best for all of us. So far this pregnancy is going "good". It has been the most different pregnancy yet. I am a ball of hormones and I am constantly tired. But my doctor reminded me that that could be because I have two youngin's to tend to and it wasn't that long ago I was pregnant. My body hasn't had much of a "rest" this past year and in turn my SI joint has been EXTREMELY painful and just a pain in my rear! I do what I can to not make it worse and Justin has been so great taking care of most of the vacuuming and big cleaning. Even cooking dinner or washing the dishes does me in for the rest of the day. Not fun but I know soon, once I have this baby, I will be able to do some core strengthening and I won't be feeling like this forever. I will be going to Physio again in the new year until the baby comes and after. I have to wait until I am back on BC medical until I go back to Physio. Because we are still on Alberta medical, each Physio visit cost's $50. That can definately add up when you are going every five days. But other then that I am doing well. The boys are growing like weeds. Sam shot up a size in pants in a month and every wash day I am packing away Mattias' clothes that he has outgrown. Mattias is a happy chatter box from the moment he awakes til he lays down for his nap. He seems to be getting easier as he gets older which I didn't think he could get any easier. Sam is three and testing his limits daily. New behaviours the past couple of weeks like kicking, hitting, screaming and being cheeky are just a few of his actions that have almost sent Justin and I over the edge. But daily he is learning that those things aren't acceptable and that we will not tolerate it in any form at any time no matter where we are or where he is learning it from. The time-out stool is working well and so is Justin and I being calm and firm yet loving. I can see light at the end of this tunnel soon. Sam and I have been doing crafts and baking which he loves. Much time spent outside in the snow playing soccer with Papa or the boys who live upstairs which Sam loves. We are LOVING our new place. It's cozy and none too big but we love it. It feels like home and we are so glad to be BCer's again. And our landlords upstairs, our friends, are better then we could have imagined. Having a babysitter so close for us and them is very helpful. And the hand me downs from their two boys, 6 and 8 are grately appriciated. Check our website for up to date pictures. Well lunch needs to be prepared and Sam is itching to get Tias out of his crib to play. Have a blessed Christmas and know what CHRISTmas is really all about. That it's origin would stand ahead of importance of what we so easily get caught up in what this season is all about. Blessings....
