June 2011

Wow! A whole year has gone by since i last blogged. Guess no one has missed any updates as no one has said anything. That's ok. Originally, i did it for me anyway.
Ethan is now 2 and 3/4 years old. He talks a lot, eats a little, laughs much and loves when he's in the mood. He can be the most affectionate boy when he wants and a miserable little thing too! Even when he's miserable he's still so darn cute.
Some highlights of the last year include:
  • going to the cottage, swimming, fishing, boating canoeing even.
  • the drive in
  • Elmvale zoo
  • lazy summer days outside
  • visits with friends and family
  • ATV rides
  • playing in the snow, making snowmen and angels
  • Being away from Mommy & Daddy for the first time - April and then again in Sept for our 3rd year anniversary, in which we spent the weekend at an awesome resort in Blue Mountain. We went hiking, shopping, to dinner, live band, stayed out til 1AM! and I had a pedicure - so nice. Jeff arranged the whole "surprise" weekend. He did a great job so good that i said he could arrange this years too!
  • My 2nd birthday party at our house
  • 2 year molars - those were memorable because they were so hard to come in & caused Ethan a lot of pain and me a lot of sleepless nights.
  • Great Grandma turned 95
  • Grandpa turned 65
  • Christmas was lots of fun as Ethan enjoyed opening the gifts, getting the concept of it better. Lots of great things from everyone.
  • New Years was spent with the Young family. We had a wonderful time. Ethan was a party animal staying up til 2AM!
  • February was filled with birthdays & a new arrival. Finally a girl in our play group!!
  • Jeff had surgery on his left arm for a torn bicep & was off work for 3 months having just gone back the beginning of May.
  • I painted the pool room in a colour called Marshlands - a dark browny green. Its a beautiful rich colour. It looks great!
  • Went to my cousin's garden wedding(on my Dad's side) It was lovely.
  • And as recent as yesterday we got a truck load of logs delivered. That i will have to post pictures of because when i say a truck load you really can't imagine how much wood that is. Seriously. I couldn't believe my eyes as i watched.

So I guess that's the last year, i don't know. I can't really rememeber too much of what we did but those are a few things.

Obviously most of my time is consumed by Ethan. He's all I talk about & know to talk about.
