Spiderman!

I just did this because Sandi put one on her blog...and the funny thing is that it also came up with my favorite superhero!

You Are Spider-Man

Quick and agile, you have killer instincts (literally). And that kind of makes up for the whole creepy spider thing.

What Superhero Are You?

YUCK!

So here I am again....I have been down and out for the past 10 days unable to get off of the couch for the most part because of a raging sinus and ear infection.....Every time I got up, my head would spin...Lots of fun when I am trying to look after Jeremy. Fortunately, he is a good baby, and so most of the time, he was pretty easy to look after....
Kind of messed up our schedule with him though....the result being, that he has been trying to take advantage of the fact I have been sick to try and nurse ALL night....crying if he didn't get his way...meaning that I was up most of the night...not what I needed at that point.
Kendal and I decided yesterday, that since I am mostly up now, that we are going to be agressive about getting him back to schedule, and so meany that I am, at eleven last night, Jeremy was put in his crib...where he actually slept till 2 am. He cried 2 xs during the night....which I ignored...and mostly slept without much fuss! YAAA! However, I still didn't sleep much because I kept checking on him to make sure he was ok....but I am sure that it will get better.
As far as my ear infection gos, I am going to have to go to a specialist. I have ringing and hearing loss in my left ear, and even after an agressive round of antibiotics I still have infection left. I am going back to the doctors on Monday, but my doc is away on holidays, so I will have to wait till she comes back for a reference....

Sorry...

There have been no new posts this week...I have had a really nasty flue which was making me incredibly dizzy...great fun to try and take care of baby when I couldn't even move my head....I was really wishing that every one wasn't working.....Hopefully I am at the end of it now....
More tomorrow...

Jeremy makes a mess!

Jeremy is eating solids now...sort of. When I mean sort of...I mean that he only eats when he feels like it....He prefers to nurse, so he has to be in a really good mood to actually touch it...and then he wants to feed himself...which gets really messy. I have taken to giving him his own spoon to play with just so that I can actually feed him with the other one. So far he is only eating simple grain cereals (rice, barley, and oatmeal) and peas. He will only take about a teaspoon of whatever food it is...and half of the time won't finish that...He would much rather smear the food on his highchair or face...or me. Whatever happens to be closest....LOL!

More Canada Day pics!

Look Dad! Some more pics for now...I will update some more later....We are having computer troubles and this took me an hour!

Canada Day!

Ok...this is really way past for this post, but Jeremy is a lot more mobile now, and not letting me near my computer! LOL!

As usual we went to the celebrations at Wascana Park and hung out with Scott and Cori for the afternoon...It was fun...but man, was it ever hot out. At about 5 pm, we went home for a while, and came back at 8.30 for the fireworks at 10.30 (no kidding - that is how busy it gets...
Here is a slideshow of some of the pictures.

You have to see this...these guys were insane to take this footage!

Chilean Pavilion

Today I am going to post a video about the Chilean Pavilion..not because I actually have anything to say about it....(although it was good, and had plenty of really cool crafts and displays) but because their building was about 1000 degrees, and that is what it feels like it is in here today!!!! Actually I think it is maybe 30, but I feel like it is 1000 degrees....

Not Alone...

One of the things that I love about God, is that even though he has expectations of us, we never have to walk alone.....
This morning I was reading 1 Sam. 23, and in verse 16 it said "And Saul's son Jonathon went to David at Horesh and HELPED him find strength in God."
That little verse is precious to me on so many levels. For one thing, it implies that maybe at that moment David felt weak, and needed help to find strength. It reminds me that David was just like one of us, and didn't always have the answers to everything in our lives....
It tells me that it is OK to ask for help...something that at times I have difficulty doing...I don't have to always be independent and strong...
It also implies that we have a responsibility as Christians to help our brothers and sisters when they are going through situations which are difficult for them to handle...to pray for them, and offer them a helping hand....
Sometimes, people think that when they come to God that their lives will get easier, or that they will never have any problems...but God never said that. David in this chapter was on the run from King Saul, who was trying to kill him...sounds like a trouble to me.....

but thank God, that in the body of Christ, I will never be alone...

Suddenly I turned around and she was standing there
With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns
Come in, she said I'll give you shelter from the storm...

Sometimes life is kind of crazy...
Today I was thinking about how only 2 years ago, if anyone had told me that I was going to have another baby, I would have laughed at them....
Having a baby was definitely NOT in the cards for us at all. Kendal and I had been married almost ten years, and raised three teen girls before we realized that maybe we did want another baby after all...and now, I can't imagine life without Jeremy! Even all the dirty diapers, and no-sleep nights are worth while..I would do it all over again if I had the choice to make..and not only do we have Jeremy, we are actually considering another one in a year or so!!!
Life sure throws us some curve balls!
Fortunately, once in a while...they are good ones!
