Believing that it's Warmer!

Today we embraced the warm weather. When you live in Alberta anything above zero makes you think and feel like it's summer! So we go to the park, eat popsicles, wear sandals, and if your name is Julia you wear a swimsuit outside. Sorry I didn't get a chance to take a pic. So being as ambitious as we are we decided to get some KFC and go out again, just as it's getting cooler. Oh and you wear your sandals. And if your Julia you still wear your swimsuit, just underneath your clothes.

Change

I have three different outlooks on the word "Change"

1st Change can be exciting, something we look forward to, like the seasons, our children's milestones or great trips and vacations. Sometimes we see change as a positive thing.

2nd Like Marvin J. Ashton said, "There is a tendency to think of change as the enemy. Many of us are suspect of change and will often fight and resist it before we have even discovered what the actual effects will be. When change is thought through carefully, it can produce the most rewarding and profound experiences in life." Sometimes we dread change or are scared of it but it can be a good thing.

3rd Sometimes, even with making good choices and being good people, unexpected things can happen. And the "Change" that is happening is not our choice. It Sucks!

But for whatever reason we grow from all three of these types of "Change". Whether the "Change" or the experience is for our own good, loved ones or people we have yet to meet. We go through these changes so we can find compassion and hopefully to become a better person.

Our family has gone through some "Change". I would say it's the 3rd type of "Change". My least favorite. We've had no say in it. But for whatever reason it's happened and we are looking for the positives of this "Change".

I have been avoiding our family blog. Trying to figure out how or if I should say something. Some of you already know, but I know others of you don't. So I just want to share with you simply that our pregnancy has had some complications and we won't be having the privilege of welcoming another little person into our family. We are doing okay and it's bringing us closer together.

So whatever the reason is for going through this "Change"; I know that I'm looking to become a better wife, mother and person because of them.

The Love Affair

Becca is in Love. With a couple of guys. Of course her Daddy and her buddy Champ. But there are two more. They might even be more important then the previous two mentioned. Woody and Buzz Light Year. This girl is in love with Toy Story. It doesn't help that I'm too exhausted and she watches it a couple times a day right now. But those are her Men. Here's a pic if her playing at Champ's. If there is a Buzz or Woody somewhere she finds it!









Stinkin' Cute Eh!

We are a bunch of sickies!

Becca and I are hanging out together upstairs. Julia and Emily are downstairs. And Shawn is starting to feel a bit better, so he's working in his office. Last week the girls were out of school but Julia had a fever so I was getting her healthy. Then later in the week Shawn got some nasty thing and the girls and I took care of him. Well this is some super bug because now I've got it and the rest of the girls. The only good thing about being sick is the cuddles. Other then that it's lots of tears and Tylenol. Here's hoping this is it for awhile. Cause I'm ready to throw in the towel. Isn't she cute, if you could only hear her snore it's even cuter :)
