Day 250 – Epic fail.

I always bite off more than I can chew.  I like a good project to keep me busy and inspired, but it rarely stops there.  And then, before I know it, I’m overwhelmed.  And missing that feeling that having spare time brings.

We officially moved into our new house on December 17.  Four days later we left for Virginia for Christmas.  We arrived home on December 28th and by the 3rd of January, we were back on the road, on our way out to BC for some skiing/snowboarding/family time with little to no internet access.

The trips have been beyond lovely, but have left very little time to actually settle in to the new place.

We’re getting there, but it hasn’t been easy.  And some of my favourite things have suffered.  One of them has been picture taking and posting.  And the timing for that has been ridiculously bad.  So much has happened over the last month and I’ve wanted to share, and I just couldn’t.  No time, no energy, no internet.

I don’t know when I’ll be able to sit down and properly catch up, but it is definitely at the top of my to-do list.

Until then, feast your eyes on my little beauties…

Dan thought he could get away with packing only 1 pair of pants.  It backfired …

Alicia - That is funny…and hilarious reaction from Jaia!

Dominik - one pair of pants should “cover everything” … 😉

Auntie Jenny - It should be noted that the rip in the pants did not occur at the airport – it was a few days before departure. And yes, Dan did hit the mall in Calgary with his purple underwear showing.

Sonja - Didn’t you learn anything from the boys trip to NYC during which Paul had an incident with his lone pair of pants?

Conversations with Jaia

After her bath, on her way to play with Barbies before bed – “I love you, you’re my true love kiss man.” (with hug for daddy)

And immediately after – “Mama, why do princesses don’t poop?”

On birthday morning upon seeing the presents “wow, this is just amazing!”

And upon opening the last present, which we expected to be a letdown – “more puzzles, what I’ve always dreamed for!”

Auntie Kris - And on opening her little gift from us (jewelry making set), she gazed up at Kurtis and said “Oh, I just LOVE it.”

Kurt has repeated that story about 874 times.
