Totally random...

I'm missing my Bug.  He's with his daddy this weekend.  Six of one, half dozen of the other...miss him while he is away, but savor the silent moments...He's at such a funny age right now...everything he does, he wants a high five, because "it was AWESOME, right mommy?!!"...Carries a bag of groceries in the elevator..."High five mommy, that was AWEEEESOME"...Has a bath..."That was AWESOME hey?!"...Where does he learn this stuff??!!  He's my little man now!

We are loving living in Edmonton - it's nice being closer to work.  People we want to visit are only a hop, skip and jump away now...No longer a couple of hours...Our apartment is nice...it feels like home.  Life is good. 

I hope your life is good too!!

Finally!

We're in the new house....Nolan's in the new daycare (which he quite likes - they do Yoga....ever seen a 4 year old boy do Yoga?...it's quite entertaining!!)...finally starting to get settled...woohoo!!

A couple of pics to liven things up...

Hanging at the new park

Life is so rough when you have to get dressed...

Happy Thursday!!

I'm baaaaaacccckkkk...

I'm baaaaacccckkkk..

After a much needed break and a major life re-vamp, we are back and ready to go!!  Nolan and I are awaitng the possession date of our new house, have a daycare, I have a new job - really, what more can you ask for!!  Life is good...I am anxiously awaiting getting back into our own little routine...

We survived the Easter egg hunt at mom's house - who knew Nolan would be such a snitch and tell all the other kids where we hid their eggs....last year of his helpfulness, that's for sure!!  It was fun though...Nolan had a blast.

Life is finally looking up, so that means I will get back to regular blogs!!

Lucky you...

Scattered thoughts...

I'm home!!  I enjoyed a glorious 2 weeks in Costa Rica, loved every minute of it & would go back in a heartbeat...

Sunset off our balcony.

The Howler Monkeys (aka our alarm clock) outside of our room

The chubby hands I missed so much

Loving his still-painted toenails

I'm home. 

I'm grateful...

well hello there strangers...

Yep, we are still here...plugging away. Lots has happened in our lives lately, lots that has made us, well me, Nolan doesn't really re-evaluate when he is only almost 4 years old...but, it has made me re-evaluate everything...and my consensus, well, I'm grateful.  (Wow, that was a run on sentence if I have ever seen one!!)

I'm grateful for so much...I have an amazing Bug (Nolan to those that don't know that Nolan is my Bug, and will be forever and always)...I'm grateful for the random hugs and kisses I get from him...the simple statements, "Don't worry mommy, I always come home to you"...they melt my heart.  I'm grateful for my family, who without them, whoa, who knows in what kind of shape I would be in lately....My Tash, I love her to bits and pieces...she is...well, she is my rock.  *love you to bits*...All of my friends, near and far...In the grand scheme of life, I have it pretty good.  Sure, there are times that I am ready to rip my hair out, or hang Nolan by his ankles, but there are also way way way more times, that we laugh until we cry, and I can sit back and just love.

Thank you to you all...just know that in some way, every single one of you has changed me, (all for the good...I hope, hahaha), and I'm loving this place in my life that I am at...

For once in a long time, we are happy.

Finally, it's getting better.....

Ugh, so much has been going on, but so much that I am NOT going to blog about....life is slowing sorting itself out and taking a turn for the better...FINALLY!!!!

We are still here, and making each other laugh everyday...

I'll be back...
