November 2009

I have to say I am very bad lately at writing in this blog. Sometimes it seems like life just takes over and there is no time for anything! There is a country song out right now where a guy is complaining that his wife is pregnant again and his friend says "that seems like life to me, it's not a fantasy" I think that sums up life perfectly. No matter what I seem to plan or expect to happen quite often the opposite happens! I am happy to report that harvest is finally over! Chris stuff was finished over the weekend and his dad is done just yesterday! Man did it take forever and feel like it was never ending! The year we got married we combined until the end of october and I thought that was long:) We've spent this week in red deer at a trade show for the shop, which has been a nice change from chris gone to the field! Although I have to say I had really good intentions when we got here about getting all the x-mas shopping done and I haven't done any - yet I seem to have bought alot!
Thankfully neither Madison or Zander has got h1n1 yet- they both got the shots for it though - what a tough decision! Madison is still fighting pnemonia, she seems to not be able to shake it and just when we think she's better it comes back full force. She does very well with the nebulizer though, quite often falling asleep with it on! In 2 weeks Madison will be 1 - it is so hard to believe! she continues to be a pest hanging onto things and walking. she also loves to crawl and chase me and then stand up hanging onto me and scream until I pick her up - I long for the days when she couldn't crawl! She is a very spoilt baby wanting to constantly be held and only sleeping if she is in our bed. Zander on the other hand will only sleep if I'm in his bed - I don't remember what it's like to sleep in our nice king size bed! Madison loves to mimic, her thing right now is if she finds a cloth on the floor she pretends to wash the floor, she also loves to carry things around in her mouth - espesically socks! she loves to pretend to talk on the phone and brush her hair.
Zander is coming close to turning 3. I'm hoping that will mean the end of the terrible 2's - because at times they have been terrible! His new feat for the week was swimming without his lifejacket with only water wings on and he did great - with the slide and jumping into the water - he has no fear which of course scares me spitless! Lately it seems like he is becoming increasing jealous of madison, whether it is because she has been sick so she gets more attention, I'm not sure but I thought this would have happened more so when she was still "new". I'm hoping that like everything this is once again a stage. Or maybe I'll just blame it on teething!
