jim has been home since mid Jan...has started to work again here in taber...yay...he worked for a week and then the kids and i took off to BC for 10 days...we visited my sista and her kids and my dad...we got to see gage and addi's nanna too...we were there just before the olympics started and got to see all the construction and cool colors...flying with 2 kids is a challenge but at least the flight is short...the kids had so much fun in bc...they played hard with their cousins and enjoyed antie drina and robbie and gechan...we don't get to see them often...and the kids were not as shy as i thought they would be...hooray...gage got a t-shirt from his cousins' dad...i has a helicopter on it and it is his most very favorite shirt in the whole world...he wears it non stop...he'll sleep in it and then wear it the next day then again to bed and then again the next day, if i let him...eventually he lets me wash it and we start all over again...oh well...i think it's kinda cute and reminds me of jim when he was kid...i guess he had a fav. shirt too and pretty much did the same thing gage is doing now with his shirt...like father like son...we have been home now for a few weeks and we are just settling back into routine...gage had one canskate lesson last week and did so much better than he had been doing...he missed 2 classes while we were in BC...so i was a little anxious about him going back...we did get him to wear smaller size skates and voila...he did so much better...i think he will be on his way in no time soon...addi is talking so much more than before and both are a broken record at times and it drives me crazy, crazy, crazy!!!!...i found a white hair the other day and pulled it out...then last night i found another one and left that one alone...i am so tempted to pull it out too but i don't want another one...i am too young for WHITE!!!!!!...i am trying to be more fit and workout in the mornings...so me and the kids do some stretches and a little pilates and then rest...but it is so funny to watch my kids copy me...they are so delightful when they are not yelling or talking back to me or fighting with one another...addi is getting better at going peepee on the potty...maybe she will be trained by 2???...cross fingers...gage can now put his own shoes on and clothe himself, all by himself...he hardly asks me anymore to help him...hooray...i was getting really tired of having to get him dressed when i knew he could do it himself...and now he is so proud that he can do it that we always give high fives and he loves it...he is slowly getting confident!!!it's fun to watch addi try to dress herself...everything goes over the feet first...pants and shirts!!!...when she runs she gets up on her toes and runs really fast and wriggles her behind...really fun to watch...gage uses an 'ife' to cut his meals up now...we did some mug shots of each of the kids and jim too...so here are some recent pics!...that's all the new stuff for now...at least that's all i can remember for now!!!ciao
