1. Where have I been? I've been sick and just haven't felt like blogging. Still not totally recovered, but getting there.
2. Phil is off to Winnipeg for the week for some training for work. So nice to have work pay for everything!
3. Taylor has two more teeth, bringing his total to two on the bottom and two on the top.
4. Taylor besides rolling everywhere now rolls and then army crawls to where he wants to go! He is a handful!
5. For the last few days every morning there has been snow - I don't like it at all!
6. I just want to get the yard cleaned up, plant some flowers and some veggies and get on with the ugliness that winter has left behind.
7. I got the kids registered for two weeks of swimming in July. Since neither of them can swim on their own yet, I will take Taylor to the morning class and then Makayla will go to the afternoon class. I'm gonna be one tired mommy!
8. Makayla starts soccer lessons next week for 8 weeks. She is excited and I am too!
9. Taylor's got some crazy eczema happening and nothing seems to be working. We've been to the doctor a few times in the last few weeks with different creams and lotions to try. Nothing is working. The doctor is going to talk to a dermatologist and see what's going on. This is one of those times that it kinda stinks to live so far from a major city!
10. We will be leaving for Toronto in 4 weeks. Should be a lot of fun!!!
That's all for today! Have a great week!

Family Update
Phil - he's been working! In his spare time he likes to go out to the frozen lake and ice fish. He seems to be one of the lucky ones, always catching something. Whether he keeps it, gives it away or puts it back in the lake he usually gets at least one. As of next week, he'll have been working in Grande Cache for a year! He's been keeping busy at work and he is still enjoying it! Phil celebrated a birthday two weeks ago as well as we welcomed our new niece Abigail (Phil's sister) just days before Phil's birthday!
Jenn - has been taking care of the kids, the house and whatever needs to be done. Going to ladies Bible study once a week has been a great way to get out of the house and have some adult conversation and interaction. I also managed to get a whack of photos developed when we went to Edmonton so now I can finish Makayla's first two years scrapbook and start on Taylor's! I will have a birthday later this month. Somehow they just aren't as much fun as they used to be!
Makayla - has been going to swimming lessons since September. She is doing great. Last week was a big step in that she actually blew real bubbles (not just pretend ones). We are working at getting her head all the way in the water without me dunking her! She loves going and the lessons here are really cheap, so we might as well take advantage of it! She also loves going to church where she gets to play with all her little friends. She is doing well and we are looking forward to getting her into Preschool in the fall!!
Taylor - is growing like a weed. He still has just the two middle bottom teeth. Next weekend he will be 9 months! It's crazy how fast time goes by. He is a busy little guy getting his hands on whatever he can. He loves sitting on the floor playing with toys, especially if his big sister is there to play too! He loves to roll and will roll all over - especially when trying to change him. He has a goofy personality and is quite the character! We are looking forward to him being a little more mobile as he is now well over 20 lbs and super heavy! We are pretty sure he weighs more than Makayla!
As a family we are already beginning to plan for the summer. We will be in Toronto from May 7-19 (if you live there and want to visit with us, let us know and we'll start making some plans) and then we will be in Vancouver/Terrace from August 18-Sept 3. We will be in the Vancouver area from the 18-23/24 (not yet decided) and then in Terrace for the remainder of the time. If you are in that area and would like to visit, let us know and we'll start making some plans! It will be so great to see our families and friends and travelling with the kids should bring about some more great travel stories!
That's all for now! Enjoy your weekend!
