It’s been a couple weeks since Ken went to Calgary to start working at his new job. Everyone keeps asking me how I’m doing without him and I have to say that it’s been pretty good! There are a few moments where I could use a helping hand dealing with a bit of the five year old attitude (and sometimes the 2 year old attitude!!) but I’ve had a lot of incentives for good behavior. Mostly play dates. We’ve been arranging a couple playdates a week with friends which gives Paige something to look forward to and a reason for me to keep the house clean. Last weekend we had Paige’s longest and bestest friend Elizabeth over for a play date and boy did they have fun! I was very proud of both of them, only one minor tiff that was sorted out right away and they continued on playing. It was so nice to see. Looking forward to the next play date.
I’ve been really enjoying getting back into taking photos again too. The kids have been such good models. The only thing I need now, is for the weather to SNAP out of this cold spell and onto some sunny nice days. Then I will be in photo heaven. Check out my flickr goodness for all the latest additions to my stream.
Paige is going to be heading out to Washington to spend the weekend with her cousins. I don’t have to tell you how excited she is about that, we’ve been counting down the days (several times a day) since day 13. That kid is just like her father that way.
I was surprised last night that she decided to finally take out the beads in her hair that she had put in at Beaners! I was sure those would be in for at least another week. However, she did make me promise that I would put them back in tomorrow night before she goes to see the cousins.
Nolan is potty trained for the most part. He does have the odd ‘P’ accident due to the fact that he gets busy playing and really doesn’t want to be bothered with the potty procedure (at least this is my theory). He even has a sense of humour and waddled up to me and told me he had an ‘ask-i-dent’. When he got my usual dissapointed reaction he jumped up and said "I’m only joking on you! It was pretend, I didn’t pee!". What a stinker that kid is. Of course, once he saw my reaction to his joke he did it over and over and each time I thought that he had actually peed. Either he’s a good actor or I’m just a sucker.
Well I should go, I want to design the kids valentines by myself this year… so I better get to it!
Chat with ya’ll later,

Good to read your blog again and sounds like you all are doing well. I’m busy scanning thousands of old photos and what a job, it seems I’ll never be done. Thank God for digital cameras.
