Can you believe it !! One month from today and it will be all overwith !! 

I am just about ready, have a little more decorating to get done, have to wrap the gifts, but I am done shopping. So no stress there, finally got my first paycheck today although it lasted all of 10 minutes after I went online and got the bills caught up. **sigh** if only we didn’t have bills to pay :p

I spent the evening last night decorating the tree, not much on it but it took forever to make it look nice. hard to fill it all in and make it look festive with only ribbon and beads. !  I did end up using a half dozen or so balls just for color , we were hoping to not use any just in case Brooke got ahold of them I’d feel terrible if they broke and she got hurt. 

almost a month in at work now. its going along, at this rate it won’t be long before the count down will be on to be finished again.  Time just seems to be flying by !  

I think we are going to have Brooke for a sleep over this weekend, can’t wait to get my baby hugs !! Missing my girls big time ! 

we had quite a ritual going there while I was off work and it was wonderful to get to see them every day.  So I do look forward to that again when I’m done of work.

Only 24 more sleeps till Kevin and Shan get home !! the count down is on !  

We got lots of snow over the weekend but today was so mild that a lot of it is melted and there are even some spots where the grass is peeking thru again.

Well its that time of evening, time to hit the hay so I must run, Hope everyone has a great rest of the week.

Here a couple shots of Brooke from the last weekend we had her here.  She was having fun with my wicker basket and her monkey.

Well I’m back to work, 2 weeks in, I do like my job but I REALLY miss seeing Brooke and Karla every day. 

Last weekend we went up for a visit spent the day Saturday with the Wallace family and had a great visit. 

Tuesday Loralee and I went up and Karla, Brooke and Earls Mom joined us to go to the services in O’leary. Got to see a lot of cousins whom I haven’t seen in ages.  So that was a good day .

Yesterday when we got home from work Earls Mom and Aunt were waiting for us to drop Brooke off for the weekend. Was wonderful to see her when we pulled in the driveway !!  We had a great evening , Karla dropped in after work before heading out to do grocery shopping and home.  Brooke slept till almost 8 this morning, and is now down for her morning nap.

Will be taking her shopping later today , I have to pick up a few groceries and some of her toys need new batteries so I guess we’ll head to the $$ store for those. 

Brooke has a new word now, when she does something (moves a chair, or puts a toy away) she says Dare ! (There).  as in all done. haha too cute.  she also says dear dear . 

amazing how much they change in such a short period of time, in just 2 weeks she is so much more mobile and understands so much more (she now knows what no means).  

She has 2 more teeth coming thru on the bottom that will make 6 on the bottom when they are all the way up. and 4 on the top. 

Not  a lot to report from this end been pretty quiet around here, basically going to work, home, make supper, head down to Vibe and go walking at the wellness center for half hour or so by that time its 7:30 and time to get things ready for work the next day or get any errands done that need to be done.  

Well I must run, throw some clothes in the washer and then head down to Vibe while Brooke is napping. 

Hope everyone is having a good weekend , thanks for stopping by
