3 weeks old, a haircut & a trip to the park!

Well we haven't had any recent pictures to post of the house b/c not much has changed. However, Kevin has decided to take time off work to get the exterior completed... could be a couple weeks, could be a month... we don't know. But it will save us time and money in the longrun b/c we won't have to pay extra interest and insurance penalties for going over our time limit (December 6th). It's also very exciting b/c there will be so much more progress to see in the coming days/weeks!! As for the homefront, Aiden turned 3 weeks old yesterday. Here's a few shots. Atalie had her 2nd "official" haircut today! I've cut it a couple times when she was younger but she just won't sit still long enough for me to do it anymore. So we headed off to the hair salon, where she'd feel a little more intimidated, thus a little more hesitant to wiggle around;) It works!! After her haircut we headed to the park to let them (Atalie and Zack) burn some energy.

A serious phone talker!

Atalie has a cute obsession with the phone. She pics up the cell phone (an old one, which we've taken the battery out of) and walks around the house with it to her ear, chattering a mile a minute and making hand movements as though she's having a genuine conversation with someone:) ... currenlty we sit at the computer with our phones, her on her cell phone and me on the real phone, which she promptly brought to me in an attempt to have a little conversation... and so we chat;)

Small Update

Well... the house feels like it's on hold, which it's not, it's just slow going right now. Last weekend was a dud - rained half of Saturday and all day Sunday - so we headed to Cranbrook for some grocery/clothes shopping on Sunday. Otherwise, things around here have been pretty "normal", if there is such a thing. Here's some pics of around home (current home, not the new one). Our BIG little dude gets a bath and seems to enjoy it:) Mom has her hands full - Grumpy and Sleepy. Aiden is forever sleeping it seems... Atalie is seen looking like quite the little girl while sporting her new clothes and ponytail (her hair has been too short until recently).

Uncle Tyler and more

Here's some pictures of Aiden's first bath (we totally forgot to take pics during his bath), Atalie playing with Grandma, Atalie eating her own donut at Tim Hortons, Kev's hot tan lines and Uncle Tyler hard at work (and play). It was a GEORGOUS fall weekend here!!! Mid-twenties and sunny all day:) Who wouldn't want to be outside? ...even if on a roof...

Aiden & Atalie

Things have begun to take a bit of shape around here, meaning there's signs of routine showing up once in awhile;) My Mom is still here, which is such a blessing!! We'll see how things go after she leaves... yikes. Anyway here's some ongoing shots of the kids. Seems there's always more where these come from... I just wish I had a good digital to post them with. I did, however, have a blast using up a roll of film on Aiden yesterday and can hardly wait to get them developed... now if only I had a scanner to post them with;) Well, these will have to do!

Gettin there...

Kevin was able to get most of the roof on over the weekend. It looks great! Whatelse can I say?? And what post would be complete without a pic of one of the kidlets??

Big Sister Atalie

Atalie is quite intrigued with her little brother, to say the least. She's been reaching out to hold him today and giving him kisses while petting his head;) This big sister is also a big girl, washing windows already!
