Christmas Part II

Yes, we're a bit late in the updates! Shows how our life has been over the last 4 weeks! If we were to rewind 4 weeks ago....let's see, enjoyed our Christmas traditions....baking Christmas cookies with Jonas, Van Dussen Gardens light show with the Pereiras, Christmas parties, Birthday celebrations and then the week before Christmas, Nadia was extremely sick. After having had no food for 5 days and very little liquids, we even ended up in the emergency for the evening. I had a little flashback (2 years back) when Jonas ended up in the emerg around Christmas with pneumonia, roseola, etc! Thankfully her illness didn't last long and we were off to Kelowna for a Christmas with the whole family. Auntie Drea and Uncle Ryan hosted us and Mom and Dad and we had a great time full of late nights, outdoor ice skating, eating and Christmas celebrations. Nadia and Jonas loved all the attention and definitely made Christmas that more special. Whether it was a book or Buzz Light Year, Jonas was excited and full of expression "I've always wanted this!" Jonas constantly wanted to know what the list of activities were for the day.
Two days after returning back to Burnaby, Keith's parents came to visit for a few weeks. They were able to take in many of the kids regular activities, babysit while we were working, enjoy some yummy meals together and our rainy weather! During our busy work week it was nice to have the extra help around the house.

Nadia Updates....weighing in at 22lbs, loves almost any type of food, just started her first set of official swimming lessons, she is full of words and likes to repeat what we say like "cheese, apple, happy, berry, toast", she loves to be around her big brother and will sit happily reading books and making up her own stories. We're discovering she is very social and doesn't take long to warm up to strangers.

Jonas Updates.....weighing in at 35lbs, hates most dinners put in front of him, bringing out his funny side, making up funny voices and phrases "your killing my space!", starting up his swimming, skating and soccer lessons for the winter, still loves to go on adventures, had a growth spurt over the last 3 weeks, loves to be around his friends and would rather stay up all night than go to bed!

Keith and Amanda....working, cleaning, cooking, grocery shopping, chaufferinng, seperating fighting children, bathing children, booking playdates, needing and planning a vacation to Cancun!!!!
