Update

Here are some pictures of Charlie's last skating lesson and Doug, Charlie and I picking pumpkins. If anyone is on Facebook, I have also posted additional photos on Facebook, just look me up :-) (Amy Benisch)

We have our next OB visit on Wednesday. I found out at my last visit that Mia was breech. I haven't felt any big somersaults from her, but we will know for sure on Weds if she has turned. If she hasn't turned, we will be scheduling a C-section.
I have been fighting a cold for the last few weeks. Unfortunately, I also had a stomach bug, migraine and insomnia. I feel much better now and I am just anxiously awaiting her birth.

Doug is playing hockey on a new team this season and is really enjoying it!!! Charlie and i went to watch his game last night. Charlie was excited to see daddy score a goal. When I asked Charlie if daddy plays hockey as well as the men on TV, he answered "not really". LOL

Charlie is loving school and seems to be learning something new everyday. I just can't express how impressed I am with his teachers and the Montessori system. He informed us this weekend that he learned how to put his shoes on all by himself at school. When I asked him to put his shoes on at home he informed us "I only have to put my shoes on by myself at school not at home."

Charlie is very excited to meet his new sister. He talks about her all the time!!!!

Hockey Mom Part 2

Here are some pictures of Doug & Charlie playing hockey!! They are out on the driveway playing hockey every night. At school the other day, Charlie was asked by his teacher what he wanted to be when he grew up. He answered "A hockey player!" His daddy is certainly proud!

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.
