More updates

Of course more pictures of the kiddies. I can't help it they are just so adorable. The top picture is of JJ watching the snow fall again.
My little princess. She does the exact same serious face as her older brother as soon as I bring out the camera. But she looks so pretty in her little dress.
More snow in Nanaimo! I think Sean jinxed us. He was rubbing it in that we get less rain in Nanaimo then my parents do in Langley(only tiny bit less) So my parents came back saying that Nanaimo gets more snow. I think they are right :) We have been told the amount we got this year is not normal for Nanaimo but so far I agree with my parents.We put the cabinet on the left up the other night because the old cabinet had a spot for a microwave and we changed to the microwave above the stove. I am so proud of my "handyman"

The microwave and new cabinet installed. We are still not finished as we have to hook up the fan and think of a way we are going to cover the pipe. I'm not sure if I want to build a box around it like our old place or do something a little different.This is the new blinds we installed in our kitchen and the bottom picture is the new blinds in the living room. It feels so different now that the vertical blinds are gone. I love it. We also replaced the blinds in the kids bedrooms and our bedroom and the family room downstairs.


And this is the present state of our main bathroom. Last night we did demolition. And tonight we will lay the new floors and then start putting it back together this weekend with the help of my parents. Thank goodness for my parents otherwise we can only work on the house once the kids are in bed. It is so great when they come because then Sean and my dad work on the house while my mom and I take the kids out shopping and try to keep them entertained. Usually once the kids go down my mom and I paint.
This is my hallway. My dad and Sean will be finishing this on the weekend also. They have a very busy weekend ahead of them. I am very lucky that Katie May doesn't crawl yet or it would make these reno's even more difficult then they already are.
As you can see we are moving along. After this weekend we may take a break because Sean will need to start getting ready for his exams in April, write his thesis, then JJ turns 2, the weekend after that we are going to the doodle bops and it's Easter. So we have a very busy month ahead of us.

Video's of the kiddies

We are still busy around the house with reno's but I'm trying to keep everyone updated with the kids. This weekend we hope to finish the flooring and start to Reno the bathrooms. We got the microwave up in the kitchen and the two new cabinets so it is coming along. We need to finish the trim around the top of the cupboards and lay the new cork floor in the kitchen. We are coming along schedule.

Jordan is becoming very independent. Every now and then he decides that he wants to go play in his bedroom privately so he heads down the hall to his room and closes the door. We always go to see what he is doing just to make sure he's not climbing out the window or something. For some reason this time he took the kitchen stool and was sitting on his bed with it. A little later he added his Car push toy to his bed.

My little Katie May when she wakes up. She is the happiest baby whenever she wakes up. Every single time you go in she smiles at you.

This is a video of Katie's first time eating rice cereal. I have the same video of JJ somewhere. Now she eats all sorts of mushed food. So far she seems to like most things but you never know JJ used to like most baby food then one day decided he was going to be the pickiest eater around. It just keeps us on our toes.

This is my little man following us around the kitchen with the kitchen stool. He does this every time we go in the kitchen. It is so cute but it can make doing anything a little difficult. I now try and keep everything pushed to the very back of the counter.

Our little Katie May doing tummy time. Near the end of this video you hear JJ fall on one of his toys and then he starts saying oh no. He says that whenever something is broken or not working. The toy was fixed after this video.
