A New Year and finally a new blog entry!

Well it's been awhile and I guess it's time for a new post eh? Honestly though? Everytime I come on here to blog I have no idea what to say so I'm gonna just keep it short and just give the short of it!
Christmas was great fun in Calgary...the house was crazy and going back and forth between families kept us on our feet. I think next year we'll be keeping it quiet in Kingston! It's been so much fun but I do have to say that I miss my home...weird that I can call Kingston that now! Drew is already counting down the days to go home...I think he's excited to go back to school!
Sean had to go home on Boxing day and so we've missed him so much since he's been away from us...we go home on Saturday so soon enough the kids will have their Daddy back!
It was so much fun having the 3 little girls together this year...they are all close to the same size and into everything...they don't like to play together but they play around eachother...I think they're still in their independent phase...next year they'll be wreaking havoc I'm sure! I caught them in the fridge while Nana was putting food away from dinner.


Melia especially liked the turkey stuffing! She opened the bag and started chowing down!Tonight we broke out the chocolate fountain finally! Each year we talk about using it but we finally did this year...it was awesome! The only thing we were missing was strawberries! The grocery stores didn't have them for the last few days so we were unlucky...but goodness otherwise! Chocolate can go on anything and I'm happy! The kids loved it and didn't hesitate to dip right in! We had some vampire fun and that explains the nasty pictures beneath! Watch out people...I'm hungry!










All in all it was a fun trip and I'm a little sad to be leaving in a few days. I still have some friends to see and shopping to do (always) so I'll have to make the best of the week! I'm a little excited about getting back to normal life though...back to the grind right? Sean has been super busy on call this week and has gotten maybe 4 hours of sleep in the last 4 days! I think he's actually happy that we're not there to keep him awake at night (Taylor!).
Well Jeni is getting on me for not blogging about the latest happenings in our life and so I guess I'll just dive in and go for it. I have to say though that I think perhaps I'm in a little denial, hence putting this off until now...........Okay...I'll just say it...I'm having another baby! It's still surreal to me and so I don't think about it much but I guess I should say something before I start showing! So I'm 13 weeks along (3 months) and feeling great! Either the kids keep me busy and so I don't notice anything or this is just the freaky pregnancy where I don't get sick! Either way I won't complain! In case your wondering...not planned and quite frankly I guess anything can get past any type of measures we take! Erin I think you can relate! We are very excited now though and are busy planning in our minds what it will be like with 4 kids under the age of 5...hmm...I think I'll keep thinking! So at this point I'm praying everything will go smoothly!
So that is the start of our New Year! A lot to look forward to I guess!
By the way...Jeni is convinced that people still read my blog so if that is true let me know that you're still there!

Of course we still read your blog! Congrats on a new baby and you'll do great! You seriously are super woman and your kids are so good. That really is exciting news. As for getting preggo accidentally, my friend Evonne is gonna have 3 kids under the age of 3 (I think...it could be 3 under the age of 4. Either way...)and ALL of them have been unplanned. Crazy huh? Anyways, glad you're feeling well and had fun in Calgary. The pics of the girls in the fridge is adorable! Those 3 are gonna get themselves into so much trouble when they're older. Fun fun fun!
