Look at us now!

Apparently I forgot about this blog I started last year LOL

So here we are, a little over 1 year later. Back in Cambridge, and in the same neighbourhood we were in before we moved. The kids are thrilled to be back, and so are we, with all our friends.

It's Thanksgiving weekend, and we did our traditional trip to the pumpkin patch where we got a bunch of great pics. I love fall pictures. Although it was 27 yesterday, and today, so it didn't feel much like fall! The first time I can remember short weather at Thanksgiving. But I am not complaining.

Family of seven!!

Tegan is here!! Tegan was born July 7, 2007. What a lucky boy he is! It was a very rough labour and delivery, and a scary time as Tegan had to be hospitalized right away, but all turned out in the end, and he is very healthy. He was 2 weeks early, and weighed 9lbs 3oz. Poor mommy!

He is beautiful, and all the kids love him. We are enjoying our new extended family. Since he was born on Brennen's birthday, we gave him Brennen's name for his middle name. So far he has bright blue eyes, we'll see if that changes. Both my boys have brown eyes, so it would be interesting to see one with blue eyes.

We are headed to Cambridge/Kitchener in a week and a half. It will be nice to see some of our friends again, we really miss it there.

Other than that, we don't have much else planned this summer. We are just getting used to our enlarged family, and enjoying our home.

My new toy

This past Mothers Day was certainly a great one!! Derek surprised me and bought me a Digital Canon Rebel XT. I was so excited! And I am having a ton of fun with it. I can't believe the quality of pictures. So far I have bought one additional lens to go with it, but I still need a good zoom lens. This picture is of Chelsea while I was playing around last night.

Today is the first day of a 3 day long weekend, and Derek has it off! Owning his own business has it's privileges! He closed the dealership for the weekend. He may regret it though - he will spend the weekend with my dad working on building the kids a big wooden play structure that we bought them. It is being delivered this morning. I will have fun taking pics of them putting that together! LOL

2 1/2 months to go!

Then baby Tegan will be here! I am so looking forward to the end of this pregnancy! It certainly doesn't get any easier each time around.

The rest of the kids are doing well. Caiden is 16 mths now, and is starting to talk. He says a variety of different words: Car, Eggos, hello, bye bye, shoe, mommy, daddy, tickle tickle, more, etc. He is getting so big!

Chelsea is as cute as ever, but still pretty demanding. She certainly keeps me on my toes.

Derek has decided to go off on his own venture, he is now part owner of a car lot, and a training company. I am so glad he is now his own boss!

Cassaundra and Brennen are doing well in school. They have adjusted well.

ScrapCentral is busier than ever! All of my 'spare' time goes there these days!

It's about time

I can't believe it has been so long since I updated this! I really need to make it more of a priority. Just have so much going on right now. ScrapCentral pretty much takes all of my computer time these days. A lot of things happening, including two big announcements! I should be posting those on the blog later today.

Cassaundra has her big birthday party on the weekend. She is now 11 years old. Quite the party too! Boy those girls were hyper! Good grief, we couldn't leave them alone for even a minute! But she had a good time, and that is all that matters. We bought her a 5 megapixel digital camera, and she was SO excited! I knew she would be.

I am 5 months along now, and this baby is so active. I am starting to lose a lot of my energy though, as I am very large again! I hope this next 4 months isn't too hard.

Spring is here, and the mild temps are just starting to arrive. Tomorrow it is supposed to be 20!

Time is flying by

I can't keep up with the days sometimes. So busy with ScrapCentral that there does not seem to be enough hours in the day. Tomorrow we launch, I am so excited!! I hope everyone likes the site as much as I do. I have big plans for it.

A little milestone yesterday. Last night, while sitting with Derek I felt the baby move. That was the first time I felt the baby. Very cool. Although as a mom of 4 children already, I know that it will only be cool for a bit, until it gets to be not so cool as this baby grows and takes more room. I pray this is not another huge baby! LOL

Cassaundra goes to see the surgeon next week, the lump is back in her shoulder. The Dr. seems to think she will need surgery again, we will see.

I go to register Chelsea at school in 2 weeks. I can't believe that my little girl will be starting school next year. It seems too soon. I think she will love it though.
