Sick of Becks

You're probably all a little sick of seeing Becks every time you check my blog. Sorry. I've been busy!! Last week I wrote an exam which ended up being HARD!! I'm anxious to see how I did and I am now contemplating signing up for another course. I don't know. My lazy 3/4 says NOOOO! We also had our house recarpeted and Brad painted all our kitchen cabinets. Once the kitchen floor is done, the place will look almost new!
We are doing well. We've all had a touch of a cold, Joel has had it the worst and just won't get over his cough. He finally slept through the night last night, giving Brad and me a good solid 8 hours of sleep! It felt good and I feel much better today. We are starting to get into the swing of Christmas. Brad is outside, as I write, stapling the lights to our home. I have pulled out a few decorations but the tree has to wait. I can't do it while it's still November. The lights won't go on until the 1st. Joel will be participating in the Preschool Pageant at the church this year. We'll see how that goes. He can't even talk but he can sort of do the actions to Away In A Manger. We've been practicing to his Little People nativity set (the song plays when you push on the angel).
As for Joel's talking, it is getting better. He now says "Nnnnno!" and "I wannit". When I tell him I love him, he looks at me and says "Bye bye!". Now that is the sad part of being a working mom. He associates I love you with me leaving.
Last night we had some slush fall outside. I can't say it snowed because it was quite literally slushing. Yuck. Here's to some real snow for Christmas. Looking forward to it!

A Little Bit of Becks

Okay, so sometimes it's okay to act like a teenager again. Last night we attended the LA Galaxy/Whitecaps game. It wasn't the greatest game but it did have it's exciting moments. It ended 0-0, so no goals but there were some good chances! Anyway, as you can see the star of the show was David Beckham and he showed himself to be a decent guy, although I still don't get why he makes so much money.
We had fun, along with the other 48 000 people and got to see a superstar not do overly much on the field. The game actually picked up once he was subbed off. Go figure.

A Little Bit of Everything!

We spent the weekend in PG. The purpose of our trip was to FINALLY meet our new little nephew Noah. He is such a sweetie! Remember, you can click on the picture to enlarge it.
We had a very busy weekend. When we arrived in PG, after driving through a nasty snowstorm, we popped in to see Grandpa at work. All Joel would say was "vroom, vroom". I think he liked the trucks : ) The three guys spent some time out in the snow while we had a baby shower for Julie and Noah. The last three pictures are before, during and after. A few weeks ago Brad and I decided we would get Joel's hair cut while up there, then I changed my mind but had no choice but to give in to the pressure around me - you know who you are.... He sure wasn't happy while it was going on but he sure was a good boy during it! And the end result is a much older looking Joel but still so cute! And still my little baby....

Halloween

Joel had a fun Halloween! Owen stopped by while out trick-or-treating and then we took Joel around to the neighbours around us. Katie came for a visit as a little skunk and we all went to watch the fireworks together. The kids were very cute but I'm glad it's over again for another year. I can't say it's my favourite day - I can't even say I enjoy it.

Silly Joely!
