Easter

We survived easter! This year we decided that we would host the Rawson family on Saturday and then the Epp family on Sunday, so it was a pretty busy weekend but lots of fun! On Saturday Aidan and Zander got to play together, and then on Sunday Zander got to play with Christian, Emma, Matthew, Dara, Luna and Kaitlyn! So there were alot of kids in the house on Sunday. I was very impressed on how much room we had, I wasn't sure our house was going to hold all 15 of us but it did well - thank goodness for the new kitchen! We all had a great time and it was wonderful to get together, although I still have lots of chocolate left over which I'm not to happy about:) Zander still continues to run everywhere and with the nice weather he is enjoying our front deck. Just today he popped his fifth tooth which he's been working on since christmas! Starting tomorrow Chris is going back to working normal hours (8-5) and I'll be working nights so we'll see how that goes - although I should be able to get a lot of work done in the office by myself.

Well it's been close to a month now since I last wrote so I figured it was about time. Things have been fairly busy - currently Chris is working from 6am to 2:30 pm and then I'm working 2:30pm to 6:00pm, so we're pretty busy and don't get to see each other much as Chris goes to bed quite early. Our only other option was day care though and as the closest is in Rosetown this works better, and besides I love being around Zander all day and miss him for the 3.5 hours I'm away! Zander is running around now - one day he just took off walking and now he doesn't crawl at all anymore! He especially loves to walk in the snow and loves to be outside! We take him sledding on Grandma and Grandpa Epp's hill and he loves it! He is constantly talking and his new favorite words are "puppy" and "no no no", he is also very good at shaking his head no. He loves to mimic and you have to be very careful what you say around him as you never know which word he is going to pick up next! His new favorite song is "the wheels on the bus" which annoys Chris to no end :) Zander has become quite the mommy suck lately, and has taken to yelling "mommy" whenever he wants my attention which is usually for no reason. His new trick is climbing onto kitchen chairs - the other day he did it and then said "tada" he was so proud of himself, he thinks he is a big boy. Last weekend we went to Edmonton with my parents and Kaitlyn and saw my sister Nicole, Neil and Kash and we all went to the water park. Zander wasn't all that interested in the wave pool, he really enjoyed one waterslide but his favorite thing was just to walk up and down all the stairs! Zander really loved Kash and loved giving him hugs and kisses, I've never seen him act that way towards another kid, it was very cute but Kash got sick of it fast! All in all it was a great weekend but I don't think we'll be going away any where for quite sometime as Chris does not enjoy Zander sleeping with us :)
