Aidan's 5th Birthday

Aidan is 5 - and he knows it - and he is telling everyone he knows that he is 5. He has grown in leaps and bounds this year. School has been so good to him. Here is a picture of his name that he wrote all by himself!

Christmas Eve

This year we went to Lara and Andrew for Christmas eve dinner. It was a lovely evening and Lara had set up everything so beautifully.

Ward Christmas Party

Last Friday our ward had a wonderful Christmas party. Father Christmas came to visit first and afterwards we had a delicious meal. Skeptical

In awe (that was the real Father Christmas Mom!)

Fearful

Aidan's School Concert

Aidan's school held their annual school concert and I was so proud of the little chap! He was one of the three little kittens who lost their mittens.

9 weeks and 5 days

It has been a fun ride the past few weeks.....NOT!

I have been feeling so tired and the morning sickness is really getting to me.

On Sunday I started bleeding and spent the night in hospital. The doctor says that I do not have enough progesterone and that is what is causing the bleeding.

We thought that this was going to be another miscarriage but when the doctor did the scan there was a beautiful heartbeat and a healthy little baby swimming around.

So....I have been feeling quite queasy lately....

They grow up so fast!

Mother, O Mother, come shake out your cloth,

Empty the dustpan, poison the moth,

Hang out the washing, make up the bed,

Sew on a button and butter the bread.

Where is the mother whose house is so shocking?

She's up in the nursery, blissfully rocking.

Oh, I've grown as shiftless as Little Boy Blue,

Lullabye, rockabye, lullabye loo.

Dishes are waiting and bills are past due

Pat-a-cake, darling, and peek, peekaboo

The shopping's not done and there's nothing for stew

And out in the yard there's a hullabaloo

But I'm playing Kanga and this is my Roo

Look! Aren't his eyes the most wonderful hue?

Lullabye, rockaby lullabye loo.

The cleaning and scrubbing can wait till tomorrow

But children grow up as I've learned to my sorrow.

So quiet down cobwebs; Dust go to sleep!

I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep.
