Just Life Lately

Love this boy so very much

Coloring with Daddy at the Krahn/Cowie Gathering in Merrit

What an amazing Grandpa.  On our way home from the gathering Kenzie kept asking when would she see Grandma and Grandpa again.  It was hard to explain to her that she would not see them in person until March or April next year!  She sure does love them very much.

Second cousins hanging out.  My cousin Krista was over yesterday with her little girl.  Our kiddos are 9 days apart (Hayden is older).  It was a lovely afternoon of hanging out with our kids and talking about life as moms.

So what is new in our family.

Kenzie - she is her usual bubble and spirited self.  Her new favorite word is "Sometimes".  It follows many of the sentences that she says.  She also likes to say "No Way Mommy," especially if I ask her to stop doing something she is not supposed to do, or ask her if she wants a consequence for her actions.  She changes her clothes multiple times a day, and is such a little girl and I love that about her!  I also love that she still loves to snuggle with me.  Probably my fav part of the day with her is in the mornings when Jeral takes Hayden after I have fed him and Kenzie and I snuggle and watch a cartoon in our room.

Jaris - slow and surely his vocabulary is increasing.  He still talks a lot of jibberish, yet in time that will get less and less.  We have been going to a group program for toddler with speech delays.  It has been hard because Jaris does not function well in large group settings and this is a large group setting.  He also is not a fan of being over stimulated and he definitely gets over stimulated there. I have been very tempted to join him in crying the times that he has cried while we are there.

Hayden - He is a very healthy little boy!  I am so thankful that nursing him is going so very well.  He is smiling and talking up a storm these days.  I am pretty sure his favorite time of day is anytime his diaper is being changed and he grins from ear to ear at diaper changes!  He also likes us to hold him in ways that allow him to sit up, and he like to try and stand, he even fusses when we do not  give him enough standing time during the day.

Jeral - Well motor cycle season is over with for now :(  He did not ride as much this summer so he could spend more time with us as a family and help me out.  I am so very grateful for that!  Life on the farm is just the same old same old.

Me - I have been rather sick with what my Dr. thinks is gall bladder issues.  So that means we I am being very careful with what I eat.  I definitely feel it if I cheat.  I have an ultrasound scheduled for Nov 23rd, so until then careful is my moto when it comes to eating.  I have no desire to be in the kind of pain an attack brings with it.  I am hopeful that for now the issue can be controlled with a dietary change, and that surgery will not be required!  Other than that life is same old same old for me!

So there you have it.  Life in the Krahn household!
