The Cheese Noodle Dilema

This picture was taken in October of 2007

with her favourite meal.
So it seems, at least for now, that I have my well behaved 3 year old back, thanks goodness. Carter on the other hand has been so miserable the last couple of days, I hope it's just a growth spurt or finally some more teeth, he only has 2. At this moment my house is nice and quiet, Grace is playing in the playroom and Carter is finally napping, ahh the sound of silence. It is so welcome these days, even if it is only temporary. I think that cabin fever is already setting in with Grace and myself, although the last few days have been so gorgeous, we were able to get out for an evening walk and enjoy the sunset. I do love these cool, sunny fall days.

Our new challenge recently is trying to encourage Grace to eat more, she has a thing for cheese noodles, it is so incredibly frustrating. She is way to stubborn to even be bribed, if she doesn't want to eat it, she won't. I'm sure she would sit all night long at the table if that was an option. I will win eventually...

My Life In the Last 16 Months...A Quick Summary

So much has changed in the last 16 months, I have found it much easier to keep in touch with friends since the introduction of Facebook to all of our lives. I thought, however, that I might get back to doing some blogging.

It has been a busy year for my family and I, as most of you know we have a wonderful new addition to our family, a little boy, whom is almost 10 months old already. Grace just turned 3, I know so crazy.

I really don't have a whole lot to say, does that mean I'm sort of sad?

We had a wonderful summer, Kelly's mom came out from Alberta to visit, my dad turned 60, we got to do some camping, although not as much as I would have liked. Grace keeps taking about going back to the "camping site", she is too funny.

My football team had a great year with many new faces and of course with that comes new challenges; but we met those head on and had a wonderful year. I am so excited for the next season to begin. We also decided to play a little softball this past fall and while I have never really been into the sport I had a great time and wished I could have played in a few more games.

Carter is a wonderful little man and Grace, most of the time, is a great big sister. Although lately I have been wondering where my normally well behaved little girl is, I hope she returns to me soon, I miss her.

Well there you have it, my recent life in a nutshell. Since this is my first blog in 16 months, I thought that would just include some random pictures from the last 10 months for you to enjoy.
