New post with old memories

Thought I would do a quick recap on the last week for you all. I wanted to post some pictures of the house and it's progress for everyone but the USB port inside my camera got damaged somehow and now I cannot load them directly on to the computer. I will go at some point this week and get them on a CD so I can post them.

JUDD - He is still busy working hard on the house. The limestone came this weekend so he was outside pretty much every day last week putting Tyvek wrap on the house and getting it ready for the stone. On the weekend him and my dad put the rest of the plywood on and Judd spread out the limestone around the house. I guess we have to leave it there for a few years while the ground settles back down and then we can put in a permanent path again. Still no deck, but I think my dad and Judd will be starting that sometime this week. Other than that there is not really anything new there.

AIDAN - Aidan had an interesting week to say the least. He learnt lots of new really weird songs, I think he makes up a lot of them just to see our reaction when he sings them. He has learnt "Little Rabbit Fru Fru" which is one I know too and can sing along so thats lots of fun to do with him, he was quite impressed that I knew it! He drew a picture of a tree which I've scanned for all of your viewing pleasure. I know it's not much but to us it is art, and it actually resembles what the picture is which is not always the case! He also got into a fight at daycare on Wednesday. Apparently one of his friends wanted something from him and decided to head butt Aidan to get it. Aidan came home with a red mark on his forhead and did not forget to mention that "I didn't even cry, because I am a tough guy!" On Friday he was acting really weird before daycare and we took his temperature and he was fine so we sent him off. At about 1:00 pm we got the call that he had a 102 degree fever, needless to say Judd went home early to take care of him. After a long rest Aidan was feeling fine on Saturday so it must've been a 24 hour bug or something. The weekend consisted of playing outside in the sandbox, going for dinner with his grandpa and catching up on some video games and quality snuggling time with mom and dad!

SARAH - Nothing really new with me, stil
l liking the job a lot, I'm always sort of waiting for the ball to drop and something really negative is going to happen there. I am not used to this sort of workplace at all. There is very little complaining going on because everyone seems to be content with their job. It is definately a change for me and I'm glad that if I had to go back to work it was with MTS. Trying to keep up with the Doula thing as well. I'm starting to get a little worried though as I have a workshop at the end of October and I need to read 3 more BIG books before then so the pressure is on! I haven't decided whether I will charge for the service when I am certified or if I will limit myself to families/women that can't afford one, I will have to see what the need is in each area first. That's about it with me, trying to stay happy and energetic and sneak in as much time as possible with my family unit. Had a suprise visit from Aunty Betty and Uncle Al on the weekend which is really nice...it was good to see them as it gets to be too long. Sometimes people need to seek us out to see us!

KNEESAA & ICHABOD - Kneesaa is especially happy these days as we have really been making an effort to play with her and also to take her for longer walks. On Sunday I took her out for a walk around the community for about 45 minutes and she was so content when she got home she just passed out! She also quite enjoys the new limestone that Judd put down and loves to mess it all up, needless to say I got the order that she is now to be tied up when outside. Ichabod is still galavanting around outside however he is starting to come in more often as the weather gets colder. I am trying to convince Judd to let me get another dog for Kneesaa, however I am loosing that battle pretty steadily. That's all for the animals in our life.

Here are some pictures from July when we went out to St.Malo for moms birthday. Thought some of you on the Feenstra side may want to put the ones of Aidan and Grandpa & Grandma in your albums! Take care everyone, will post again soon hopefully with some updated pictures!

Love Judd, Sarah, Aidan, Kneesaa and Ichabod
