Sorry to all who check my blog, for not posting in awhile. We have a new computer and all my photos are on the old one. So I haven't been able to post pictures. For updates on our renovations....we have the counter tops finished (will post pics soon!). We decided not to do a back splash with tile, but to paint instead. That part is done now. We put up faux wood blinds on the 2 windows in the kitchen and white tab top curtains on the dining room patio door. Finally we have privacy again! Paul is working on the trim and hopes to finish that soon. Then we need to do some organizing, decluttering, and tidying up the outside of our home where all the junk from our renovations are. We didn't do anything too special for March break. It was lovely to be able to sleep in each morning, and to not have anywhere specific to go. It was quite relaxing. We helped celebrate my Mom's birthday at the beginning of the break. And at the end of the week, we celebrated with Mark & Rachael, as they were married. What a lovely day and nice to see some old friend too. Other than that, we just enjoyed the weather by going for walks and to the neighbourhood park as a family. Seth had to work on a homework assignment by observing signs of spring. It was neat to go outside every day and look for robins, plants growing, leaves growing etc. We spent time playing, painting (kid paint) and just being together. Seth learned to ride his bike with no training wheels. He is not fully ready to do it on his own, but has been practicing in the basement and can go for a stretch on his own. He is pretty proud of his accomplishment! And we are too! :0) Seth went back to school yesterday and I think it is always tough for them to get back into their routine. He did have a good day back though. Ethan keeps me/us busy. He has become a little monkey lately. He does something mischievous and then either laughs or smiles about it. He is also going through the terrible twos. And it is not fun. Loud crying and screaming from the top of his lungs, no matter where he is. Whether home or in the grocery store, doesn't matter to him. We will get through it and just be persistent. Ethan celebrates his 2nd birthday soon. Hopefully I will be posting pictures by that time. Anyways, this is just an update for now. Hope our blog-checking friends are doing well and that you all enjoyed your March break!
