Well I go for a job interview tomorrow at Leon's in Trenton. I am very excited as I have been looking for a job for about 3 months now and have got nothing back. I took Blake to my Dr the other day and found out he has a speech impediment. So he will be starting therapy in Jan/ Feb sometime. I still think he has autism but the Dr said we will see how the speech therapy goes and then go from there. Makayla is doing very good in school and is in the school choir. She loves it. She will be in the Frankford Parade this weekend and thinks thats the greates thing ever. Ben has a black eye right now as he went to the bar and some guy hit him. Ben has no clue who it was or why he did it. We are going to start doing are wedding invites soon, which is very exciting. Not sure if you all know but Dad had knee surgery yesterday afternoon. It was only day sergery so hes home but is off for a bit. I like that as that means my kitchen will get finished!!! YAY!!!
Well I think that is all the updates from us. Hope everyone is doing good.
LOVE LOTS

33 weeks on Sunday!

Well the countdowns have officially started. Dec 24th is my last day of work & Jan 11th is the day they say Baby Dustin will arrive. Yep . . . still calling him Baby Dustin. I am getting really excited & really uncomfortable. Lots has got me excited . . . the baby show, the awesome baby shower, the bassinet & crib, the gift of flooring & trim & the progress being made in the baby's room. On the other hand I don't sleep well, I am losing my hair & my mind, I am clumsy & emotional, sore & heavy & all the books say this will all get worse. We went to our 1st prenatal class . . . 2 to go. Tim loved every minute of it . . . NOT! I am done w/ my monthly dr's app'ts. I see the dr again @ 34 weeks then will start going every 2 weeks. Everyone has started saying the time has gone by so quick . . . notice I am not one of them! Tim has started complaining about my sleeping habits . . . I guess I snore now. All I can say is welcome to my world.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Normy! I hope you are having a great day.

Jaclyn I am sorry that things are not working out for you in Australia. Do your best to stay positive & on the right track. You have a large family that will support you in anyway they can. Hopefully you will be home in time for Xmas.

Well I am off to bed . . . scrapbook party tomorrow @ Carm's.

Have a great weekend!

Here I go again...

Well for those of you who don't know, my life is again falling apart. I wish i had good news like Sarah, congratulations by the way, but unfortunately i am stuck with yet again, sh*tty, sad news.

It looks like we are yet again, flying back to Canada. Starting from scratch. Looking for a new job, new place to live, new everything. Fortunately for Sierrah, Kim (her daycare)" always has a place for her". I think all in all, i am living absolute opposite from 'the year of Sarah'....lol. Look at us, total opposites. I will try and be home for Christmas, as it would be nice to see some loving faces and not the sad, empty one i see in the mirror.

Sorry for the downer post here. Its just not a facebook kind of status. There are a lot of things with me that need fixing right now and i am planning on dealing with those as soon as i get home.

Aunt Viv has opened her home to Sierrah and I for the past week and said she will do so until we leave. It is sooooo nice to have family here. Not sure what would have happened if she were not here. Thank you so much.

Well i guess that is all for now. No point going on about my depressing life anymore.

Love you all and cant wait to see you.

finally!

8 weeks to go!

I want to start this blog entry by saying THANKS. Thanks to Aunt Lorraine for organizing the wonderful baby shower for me last weekend. I will be 32 weeks along tomorrow and boy did I start feeling it this week. I am losing my mind & my hair, starting to get clumsy & feeling uncomfortable all around.

HEy Everyone

Looks like Christmas is going to be on the 27th of December.
We would like to make it pot luck again if possible.
Hopefully this works for everyone local cause it works for the London ladies.
There will be room for crashers of course if needed.
Please let me know if there are any questions.

Love you all,
Angela and Wade

Hello All,
Well here it is back to reality..work and sick..lol..I need to win the lottery so my family can all retire!! I was at the dr. today..I have a bad cold which I guess with all that is going around, it is a good thing..lol..I just hope it goes no further..Lisa I hope you are feeling better..Anyone else out there that is not feeling well? I hope not.
Angela, I got your message for the 27th and that sounds good..I can't guarantee it but I will do my best to be there..No one knows what the arrangements for Xmas are yet but dont wait on me..thanks for waiting this long...shit it is not too far away!!! Sarah will be for sure.
I speak to Jackie quite frequently and Sierrah has some kind of parasite. The dr. gave her cream but she had an alergic reaction to it so she has to go back..poor little thing..god I miss them..Anyways, nothing else new here..just wanted to check in and say hello..
Love you all
Donna

Fuuny Moments

I was playing with Alister the other night trying to tire him out at 10pm.
We were stacking blocks and knocking them over he was giglling so loud that mom even heard him downstairs and had to come up to see what we were doing.
Here is the video that we took.
