Busy morning

So today Hannah and I had a very busy morning. Mike was asked to bring pictures of Hannah to school so all the teachers could see his baby but since we have not developed any of our pictures of her we decided to just bring her to the school. Everyone thought she was just so cute and that she looked just like her daddy. After they all went to their classrooms I took Hannah to my old school J.R. Reid to show her to all the teachers that I used to work with. She was such a good sport about being shown to so many people. She smiled a bunch and then fell asleep. After that visit we went to the church for a Mots meeting which took till lunch time. Now I am home and I am fed, Hannah is sleeping in her swing and I feel the need to get some homework done. I also feel the need to take a nap. I am not sure which one is going to win out on this one but I do know for sure that a blanket, warm slippers and a cup of tea will be involved in whatever I choose to do!

Wordless Wednesday!

Weekend Seminar

On August 20-22 I went back to school for my last year of school. It was the first time going to classes after having Hannah. I was feeling stressed just going back to school and having to find someone to watch Hannah while I was in class. I had asked my sister Christine to come and she was only too happy to come and spend the weekend with Hannah and myself. Then Dwayne and Judy found out that they were going to be induced and were going to have their baby on the weekend. Since Chris had told Judy she would watch Meredith for her when baby #2 came along Chris was not able to come. I asked my good friend Whitney if she would be able to come and she said yes. The weekend went faster than I thought it would but it was still as stressful as I thought it would be. I spent much of my time in class worrying that Hannah was crying and that Whitney would be stressed out having to care for a screaming child. She did cry but not as much as I worried she might. It was good to come home and see Mike. After we arrived back in Brandon we went to the hospital to meet my new niece Chloe. She was so little (compared to Hannah) and so very cute.

On the Tuesday of that week Hannah and I got back in the car and drove to Austin to visit my parents and sisters. It was good to see them and spend some time just relaxing while other people took care of Hannah for me.

Then Thursday came around and Mike took off to the farm to be a farmer for a couple of days so my mom came out to Brandon to pick me up and take me back to Austin. Chris and Judy came to mom and dads on Thursday evening to hang out. Again it was a great day to have other people to help take care of Hannah. I came back on the Friday and boy oh boy was it nice to be at home. On Sunday we went to a picnic to celebrate our friends 1 year birthday of his bone marrow transplant. Later on that night we went out to our friends Thomas and Shelda's farm for a bon fire. It was so good to hang out with friends.

We spent Monday and Tuesday at home relaxing. Then on Tuesday evening I drove out to MacGregor to my sister Kim's house for a girls night of eating ice cream and watching a movie. We stayed up late. Wednesday morning we got up and got ready for a day of shopping in Winnipeg. Mom, Chris, Kim and myself went to Winnipeg to spend the day shopping and just spending time with each other. Judy decided to stay at home since Chloe was only a week and a half old but I think she will be able to join us on our next venture out to the big city.

We had a great time shopping and got back to Austin late so I stayed at mom and dads for the night before come back to Brandon.

On Thursday Mike and I went shopping for shelves to make my coat closet in my kitchen into a pantry. While I sat on the computer for my evening class Mike put up the shelves in the closet. It looks great and I am so thankful that my husband is so handy.

That about sums it up!! Maybe next time I will blog as things happen and you won't have to read so much about my life at one time.

Ok so, the last few weeks have been a bit busy for me and Hannah as we have been gone from home quite a bit. The last place I left all of you was the day of our anniversary. So I have a few pics of me in my wedding dress (cause I fit) and a few pics of our date night. Mike and I went to the Keg for supper. It was really great, we had a chance to talk about the expectations that we have for each other and how we truly feel our marriage is going. We then went to the bulk barn and bought some candy and then went to the theater. We watched Inception. It was actually pretty good. We left Hannah with Mike's mom for the evening and she was quite a good baby for her Grandma. Mike and I were very thankful for the evening out just the two of us. It was fantastic to go on an actual date!!!

Wednesday!!

So today is our anniversary and Mike and I decided to do something special. We have a reservation for 5 at the Keg and then we are heading off to see inception. Mike's mom is coming to babysit for Hannah while we are out spending time with each other.

This morning I decided to play a little dress up with Hannah. I found two outfits that I had worn when I was a baby so I thought I would try them on her and take a picture. The pink outfit was a little snug and she did not really like it. The picture of her in the duck shirt and brown pants is what she is wearing today!

New people to meet!!!

Yesterday we went to Boissevain for supper. Mike's grandma, aunt Val and cousins Alex and Dixon were out and they had not seen Hannah in person. Grandma made a wonderful supper of Cheelcha (not sure if I spelt that right), smontfat and sausage. It was so good!!! We all had a good time!

Monday!!!

So we took Hannah to church yesterday even though she had proved to be quite grumpy in the morning. I think it was the best thing we could have done. She slept through the whole service (with some rocking of the car seat)! Then we went out for lunch with some friends and she slept all through lunch. She started to wake up just as we were finishing lunch so we sped home and fed her before she got to angry. Then all afternoon she was only awake long enough to eat and then she went right back to sleep without having to be rocked or have to sit in her swing. It was a great afternoon of hanging out with friends and being able to actually visit without having to console a crying baby. She slept her usual hours at night so my guess is she really needed sleep. Today has been fairly good. She has been awake for a good amount of time but she has also had a really good nap. I am hoping that she will nap long enough for me to get some baking done this afternoon. I was also thinking that I might pack her into the stroller and walk to the mall and mail some letters that I have sitting here on my table.

Today is my day to make some cold calls for pampered chef. I am quite nervous about it cause I don't like talking to people I don't know and asking them to have a cooking show in their house. First of all, I don't really like doing the cooking shows. I just wish I had people calling me asking me to put in orders for them so that I could just sit here at home and put the orders in. Oh well, I will just have to suck it up and do it. We could use a little extra money around here so here I go...
