Well the May long weekend has not been perfect weather – Saturday was rather blah but today was better. Yesterday we took the whole family and had our photos taken… We needed a family 8X10 for Ken’s work as well as a 5X7 of just Ken. I used the polo shirts I had gotten from Old Navy on Mother’s Day and jean shorts, Ken wore his grey dress shirt and I wore one of my old flowered tops (the dress I had originally chosed would not fit with my non-supportive nurding bra dangit). Zander cried as soon as we put him up on the table but we did coax smiles out of Gavin and Emanuel and Zander did not look too much like he had just finished crying. Amazingly enough we got a picture of all 3 kids together, one of the twins together and a cute one of Emanuel in his "I’m Not a Girl" onesie! I love my discount card! We have really used this last one alot. Now I just have to wait til June 6th to pick them up!
Tomorrow we are on our way into the city to purchase kitchen chairs! We are FINALLY replacing our old ones my mom had given me when SHE replaced hers! Yikes!! I am really looking forward to having something a little more sturdy than our well worn chairs.
I have basically gotten my student loan payments figured out – mom and I are going downtown next Monday to allow me to easily pay my first payment to RBC, rent and our payment on our storage unit – here’s hoping it is our last month?? I can dream right? I am applying for the loan reduction so fingers crossed we will get a nice chunk taken off on top of everything – that just means I can NEVER get another school loan – not that I would – I go back I go back with the money in hand.
I am actually getting excited about the idea of buying a house even though it cannot be on our own! Getting out of this apartment would be a dream come true for all of us… we could even get our own lawn!!! What fun the boys would have with a safe spot right out in front of the home! Ken and I plan on driving past the town we wish to buy in tomorrow and see if we can find out what the prices run to. It is funny that life is actually improving so quickly and we are starting to have some actually options! Isn’t life interesting?
Hmm nothing else new really, the kids are growing like weeds and the twins are using TONS of words, though still delayed for their age – Emanuel is adding new words at least every week now as well as copying his big brothers all the time. A little frustrating but it is so cute watching him toddle on along behind. My baby is growing up!!!
