Updates



I have tried to upload these a few times- and keep losing them, I am so relieved to finally get them up here ~ only a week later- which is pretty good for me! :)

Family Update- all is very with everyone. We have begun the transition for Caden from our bedroom floor to his bedroom floor this past Friday evening (2 nights ago) It's been OK. He manages to fall asleep in his room and a bit into the night he wakes becuase we are so far away. I figured this would happen for the first week or so, so I still left a blanket on our floor as well. He manages about 3-4 hours in his room alone before he wakes up to come into ours, so thats huge progress. We'll keep doing it as planned and hopefully in the next month or two we can try the transition back up into his bed. Keep your fingers crossed. I think once school starts around here we'll try the potting training thing full force as well, just a plan for now. Caden also thought he would give himself his first shave in the bath this past week. He took a nice piece of skin off of his heal. He'll learn for his mistakes!

Colin has began signing!! I am so excited. He only has one down so far- but that's all it takes to start flying though them. he now signs "more" anytime he wants something. I love it!!

Courtney has finished summer school and done very well. She is beyond bored with summer and more then ready to go back to school. She has her summer girl scout meeting this thursday, so that means school is right around the corner! Only 2 more weeks left of vacation left for her. This coming weekend she will attend Camp Hope for the weekend. A bereavement camp for children sponsored though Niagara Hospice. I think this will be wonderful for her and coming to terms with both Jen's and Les's death.

Mike and I doing fine as well. Busy as usual with the 3 kids, the house and work. It's expected. Kym is going for a nice relaxing massage with Mom and Aunt Karen this coming thursday, then dinner. I can't wait!

So that's the quick lowdown on us for now!
