Big Red Thumb

So I started this post like a week ago, but something came up and I couldn't finish it, so I'll do it now.

Evan's thumb is seriously needing to have some lack of attention. It is big red and bumpy. I took him to the Dr. the other day and he said that we should get him to stop stucking his thumb for 2 wks.

A very difficult thing. I have discovered that my son is a Howdiny(?). The about of things that she has gotten out of is amazing. I finally found a why that he does escape (safety pins are great), if used properly. Don't no one has been hurt. His thumb isn't red anymore, but it is flaky and cracked I think that we may have to keep this covered thumb thing up a little longer than Dr. says. Poor guy. But as usually he is a super star. He's the best, I wonder if Alex will be as easy going.

"Oatmeal and Dancing"

Just an example of how odd my husband is.

He always come up with the oddest expressions. Sometimes it really funny, and sometimes I just have to roll my eyes. This was one of the times that I laugh "to hard" to quote Jer again.

All that said I'm glad that after 5 years married he can still make me laugh. It would be kind of sad if we didn't have fun together.

Mess

I often hear Evan saying "me me"(soft e). And often I wonder what he is talking about. It sound exactly the same as when he says mom. But he is very insistent about it "me me". I look around and realize that he has spilled milk on the floor or there are toys everywhere. It's funny he sound right annoyed that there is a mess.

I must say it a lot, and I now I get annoyed when there is a mess, so he must have picked up on that. Hopefully I can steer this appreciation for tidiness in the right direction and not just Ignore it.

I'm Married

I put my wedding ring on for the first time in nearly a year today( and it's not coming off ). I can't get my engagement ring back on yet, but soon I hope. I feel good to have it on again, although a bit strange. It's funny, when I fist took it off I felt naked, and now it feel funny. I guess that's what happens when you don't wear them for 2 yrs.

7 hours

So, Alex slept for from 10 to 5 last night,and then went back to slept. It would have been great if Evan hadn't woken up at 12 and then cried at 5 until I got him up. One of these days it will work out the way that it should. At least that is what I'm hoping.

Until then God need s to give lots of patience, and everyone else around extra grace to deal with me, as I'm not a very nice person to deal with when I don't get enough sleep.

It's cold

Winnipeg is crazy cold. I'm cold and I'm inside, maybe it has something to do with the fact that I'm tired. Or maybe it because Jeremy isn't here. He always feels the cold before I do, and turns up the heat.

This is just one of the many reason I miss him. He's having a good time out in St Stephen though. Looking at houses, and being a social butterfly with Jake. He really seems to like the place from what he's told me.

I really hope that we can lease the apartment soon. It's the only thing that really stops us from moving. All in God's hand, I guess. Sometimes I wish that his timing was a little more like mine. And then I remember all of the time that he has taken care of, so I guess I has to choose to trust him once again.

Alright, it's been nearly a month and I've been either very busy or very tired. So that is why I haven't written.

Having one child was pretty easy, but having two is a lot more difficult... I guess it won't be so bad when the youngest start to sleep though the night. I hope that it's soon!

Jeremy is away, in NB checking out St Stephen. I'm sat here waiting for Jer's first impressions of the place. But it doesn't actually look like he will be calling so I guess I have to wait until tomorrow.
