A few more pics...

I can't figure out how to add more than 5 pics at a time, so here are a few more pictures...

December is here!

Well, we're all settled into our new house and loving every minute of it. It's hard to believe we once fit into a two bedroom condo! It's great to have the two floors, and now that the snow is here we're loving the garage. We'll love our yard once Spring comes along, too. Our next door neighbours have moved in already, and they have a toddler and baby at home. Thankfully they are super nice, and we've already shared a couple bottles of wine with them! Anyway, this house and neighborhood will meet our family needs for quite awhile :)

Kaelyn is now 9 months old. She is the cutest baby ever in our opinion, and even cuter now that she's sleeping better at night! Kaelyn has been the perfect baby from Day One, but we were always given a slight reality check once nighttime came. Kaelyn goes to sleep really well, but loves to wake up every 3 hours ALL night long. This was fine during the newborn days, but now that she' approaching that 1 year mark we were hoping she'd end this night waking habit. So she's been sleeping much better at night these days, something we're grateful for because I'll be returning to work in 4 months! She's also a very happy "sitter" meaning that she can contentedly play on the floor for a long time, but has no interest in crawling yet. Every day Kaelyn and I have several "tummy time workshops", and she stays on her tummy for awhile but prefers rolling as a method of transportation ;) Oh well, she'll get to crawling when she's ready I suppose.

Other that that, Jason and I are looking forward to Christmas. I'm always a sucker for Christmas, but this year I'm so excited for it. I think it's partly because I'm not doing choir at school this year (this involves pracitising x-mas carols starting in October) and also because it's Kaelyn's first Christmas. We are keeping our fingers crossed that Search and Rescue remains quiet this holiday season, as it has been for the past few months. Usually this means there will be a lot of searches coming up, but let's hope not.

I hope all is well with everyone out there! Have a great Christmas, be safe, and take care of yourselves :)

love,
Katie, Jason and Kaelyn
