Wish you were here...

Where do I start....I really wish I was putting more effort into this lately. I feel like I'm connecting with all of you when I write more frequently, thank you again for reading/keeping in touch with us through our blog! My thoughts lately.....I really wish we lived close to family and I'm wishing we lived in a bigger place( I've been hooked on mls for weeks now!) They sound like selfish wishes. Yes, I should be satisfied with where we live because there are many who live in alot smaller home. But in terms of the family wish, well....I'm always telling our friends who live close to family, how lucky they are. I really wish we lived closer to my parents or my sister. At present, we've been given tickets to a FABULOUS event and I'm stuck with childcare issues. This is where family comes in....sigh. There's a saying in our family, " You chose your life"....and I have to believe there are reasons we are here and not living elsewhere. Okay, enough of my complaining.....

Jonas is becoming such a little boy. He loves to say and point out all the cars and trucks on the road, he points at a picture of a duck or a car and say what the picture is. He's also standing in one spot for longer periods of time and gets so excited when we give him lot's of praise for doing so! But that's where it stops....he'll stand but refuses to walk...he just loves to crawl and crawl he will! September has been a full month filled with a trip to Victoria for a weekend, Canucks ( Hockey) game, a trip to the Vancouver Aquarium and we've been able to get in some visiting with friends on the weekends. Being on maternity leave was great...there was definitely alot more time for visiting....now weekends seem to be alot more busy. Jonas is also doing very well with his childcare on the days that I'm at work. He seems to know the routine...it's funny...if we get him up and dressed right away...it's like he knows it's a "work" day.
