So we have spent the last 6 months packing and moving. We are now in Calgary at my parents house in preparation of them going on their mission to India in Oct. It was stressful to move but has been great once we have been settled in here. We miss Okotoks though and will be excited to return in 2 years or so as we have our house there rented out until we return. We are awaiting the arrival of our 4th child hopefully any day now. We are all excitedly anticipating this new babe. Kyndal says everyday that she can't wait to hold this sweet brother or sister in her arms. Waiting is hard, but we are nearly there. This baby did cooperate and stay in for us to go to Edmonton for Ashleys wedding last weekend, which we are grateful for!
Our girls just keep on growing, it is crazy how that happens. Dawsyn is really starting to talk a lot, which we knew would eventually come. She is such a little personality but pretty easy-going for a 2 year old. She keeps saying 'Me Baby' and even tried to squeeze herself into a tiny newborn sleeper one day. It will be a change for her with a new baby but she is the most baby crazy kid I know, so I think that she will enjoy it. We have been feeling really productive with getting a head start on our schooling this year in anticipation of taking some time off when our babe comes. Kyndal is doing her grade 2 and Elliette doing Kindergarten. It is going really well, I am continually amazed at how they are learning so much and how much we are able to accomplish. There is so many learning opportunities around us and it is so great to recognize them and take advantage. My mom is really into birds lately, so our science is a bird unit. She has her books for them to look at, spotting backyard birds and naming them, learning geography as we look at the maps of where different birds live, going to the Inglewood bird sanctuary and all of the talking about, coloring and drawing of birds. It has been fun for them. They don't even know they are doing school. That is the best kind.
Well that is a quick update into our busy lives. Now that we have managed our computer things it won't be as long the next time.
Here are a few recent pictures. Practicing to curl my girls very straight hair in practicing for Ashleys wedding.
She is not a baby anymore, here is my little 2 year old!
Kyndal loves to climb the trees out front, even in a dress.
Elliette and her furrowed brow. We have been talking about her as a baby and telling her this is one of my first memories of her, with her bald little head and furrowed brow. She is so funny!
Our sweet busy babe!!
When we can get a picture of this girls eyes it is so great. It is tricky to do!
My big girl is so much a kid now, with those missing teeth and all. She is just so sweet!
