Happy Easter!











Happy Easter Everyone! We had an enjoyable but busy weekend. Angeline is 4 weeks old (as of Saturday) and on Thursday her doctors appointment went well. She weighed in at 8lbs 6oz so she is continuing to gain well and she measured 21 inches tall. She is now out of new born clothes and wearing 0-3 month things. We are just considering ordering some cloth diapers for her and David (though hopefully David won't be needing them for long).


Nana and Papa have been here for the weekend. They have been painting our house for us. They got a lot done but the ceiling has needed several coats of paint since the previous owners smoked in the house and one point. Also we ended up ripping out the carpets... thanks Bob! (he has been helping a lot too) so we are having some of the hardwood floors refinished near the end of this week. Jonathan and Bob are painting this morning before Jonathan goes to work. Thanks to everyone who is helping us out with our new place as well as everyone who has offered. Karen has been doing some extra babysitting for us too.


When we move in I will be sure to post before and after pictures, definitely a big difference! Lots to do still before we can move in. We have to put laminate floor in David's room because the hardwood isn't in good shape there and we haven't decided what we are doing in our room or Angeline's. We have some volunteers to help with the laminate and I will be letting people know what days we will be needing help but we are still waiting to see when the hardwood is finished and Jonathan doesn't have his work schedule yet.


David has been a bit cranky lately. He missed mommy and daddy (mostly daddy) because Jonathan has been putting in long days between working and working at the house. He also decided to do some redecorating of his own with blue dry errase pen on his walls, carpet, rocking chair, diaper mat and toys. Most has come out but I still have to work on the walls. Hope everyone enjoys the pictures!

Wow! You guys are busy! We'd love to help out when and where we can!! Keep us posted.
As for the dry erase pen - have you tried your Norwex cloth? I get many stains out with it and a little scrubbing! Good luck! See you guys soon!

Busy, busy, busy... but well worth all the long hours for Jon when it is all done. I am glad to hear everything is coming a long well and our offer still stands for any help you need just give us a shout. Angeline is sure growing fast, I love that lil girl and the shot of her yawning in her cute dress with her lil spayed toes- too cute for words. David looks so happy with his chocolate. Cameron got a total of 3 Easter bunny egg hunts this year which he really loved...lol. HAPPY EASTER to all you guys as well, see you guys soon.

Love, Sheena.
