It's all over...

I find it hard to believe that Christmas and New Years is all over. Kinda sad in a way but exciting also as I know there are so many changes this year in our family. Joshua will be moving to grade 2 and Hannah will be moving to Kindergarden and Isaiah will have his 1st birthday. Greg is turning 28 this year in just a few weeks and I will be a quarter of a century this year. Leah is approaching her 3rd birthday and my house is slowly getting put together. it's just amzing the thought as to all that is going to be happening this year. OH my dad is turning 50 wow! With all the thoughts of what is going to happen this year we just have to get thru this winter I really don't like winter at all. But this week is really encouraging as tomorrow is going to be +7 Yeah I can't wait. For the next 3-4 days it's going to be above 0 here! Hopefully the snow will all be melted away.

Well as for New Years we had a nice time with the Pollards, They approached us sunday night asked us what we were doing and wondered if we wanted to go for Ice Cream. But I suggested for them to come to our house to hang out. Well they did their girls stayed up till 2 am and they were both SOOOOO good. I couldn't believe how good they were. It was a really nice time of playing games and eating pizza. We played Skip-bo for hours. On monday we went to Montague for their yearly new years party it was lots of fun and tons of food Oh my did we eat too much. It was really yucky driving home. It was freezing rain and the roads were really slippery.

Well on Tuesday it was Greg's first day back to work BOO HOO All alone with 4 kids it's quite sad okay so nothing out of the normal from day to day but when Greg is home for 1 1/2 weeks it makes it hard to go back to not having him. He has been so helpful lately it's wonderful. My first day home was pretty good. the kids slept in till 9am it was great. So i made pancakes for breakfast as I waited for the kids to wake up.
Hannah fed Isaiah is food she had a great time feeding him she thought it was so great. She would do it for every meal if she could. Isaiah would get frustrated because she wouldn't give it to him quick enough. Isaiah is eating a big variety of foods. He's not eating meat yet even though they say that he should be but I just feel that it might be a bit hard on his bowels as that's always been a challenge in our past family history with the rest of the kids.
Last night Susan and I went to Holland College for a meeting about going to school to get our degree in Medical Transcription. It seems like a lot of work but I am going to give it my best shot I've wanted to go to school for something medical related and I think this is going to be what I want to do for right now. It's basically part time since there will only be 2-3 classes a week that I would have to go to and they are in the evening. There is a lot of after school at home study that I will have to work on. So I will be SUPER busy with studying. I have to take Human Anatomny and terminalogy. and a few other classes. The great part is that the government is going to be paying 80% of the tuition. BONUS, Since the class is $4700. I am very excited about this the process is going to take some time it will be a 4-6month course. Since I already have my anatonmy from UPEI hopefully with a refesher It will come back quickly. And the job afterwards is working at home. so I am quite excited about that so i can be home with my kids which is VERY important for me right now.

Last Christmas we purchased these lights at IKEA and finally they are on the wall and wired up! they look great and the living room is night and bright now. The picture doesn't really do it justice but it looks so great! We can read in our livingroom now with out straining our eyes.
