The making of a Hockey Mom!!

Last week Charlie started skating lessons so he can play hockey like his dad. Being the independent spirit he is -- he refused to participate in about half of the activities. He did much better in week two. We have lots of fun at skating lessons, Charlie can't wait to show Mia how he can skate.
The last picture in the series is of Charlie having a donut at Lamar's -- it was a great way to start our Saturday. We usually make Saturday's our family fun day. After the donut we headed to Costco, while it may not seem fum to everyone, Charlie and I LOVE to eat the samples.

Long time ...

Its been almost two months since I have found the time to update the blog. A lot of you have been nagging me to get it done, so here are some pictures and updates.
I am doing fine, the pregnancy is progressing normally and I finally have some relief from the migraines.
I am still working hard at my MBA, for my current class I have been working on a business plan. It has been much more time consuming than I expected.
Charlie started school, giving me a few hours in the morning to get caught up on school work and chores.
Doug is doing well, hockey starts again later this month, I know he is looking forward to playing again. Tonight, Doug is taking Charlie to his first skating lesson. Expect some pictures later this week.
We spent the last couple of months getting some more camping in, attending festivals, and just hanging out as a family.
I hope to have more time to keep the blog updated now!!!

Carousel

This past Saturday, our friends Jerdie and Eden were babysitting a little girl Charlie's age named Ashley. We took the kids to the zoo; here are some pictures of them on the carousel.




Baptism

My mother-in-law Vicky was recently baptised in the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Doug and I were blessed to be able to share this very special day with her.





Zoo Trip

Here are some pictures from a trip to the zoo with our friends Tina & Isaiah.





First Day of School

Charlie started pre-school on August 25th. He is attending Victory Montessori three mornings a week. This will eventually change to three full days when I go back to work after Mia is born.
Since this was Charlie's first experience with school, I was a little nervous. But he did just fine, he didn't cry when we dropped him off. He did cry when we picked him up, I think he was just relieved that we really were coming back:-)
He loves going to school and all of his teachers. He is always happy in the mornings to leave for school.





Russian Festival

Here are some pictures of Charlie playing around at the Russian Festival.




Playing with Braeden

Michelle and I took the kids to the mall. Here are some pictures of Charlie & braeden playing on the little cars.
