Another doctor's appointment

I couldn't make it this time, but apparently the heartbeat was 145 bpm, and there appears to be only one child, as the early oversized uterus is back to normal sized :(

Besides that, all is well.

It's been a while...

Been busy & sick over the past few weeks.  I decided to finish posting the beach picture because Cara has begun a different post.  Teresa has been OK, but we wish she could be with us all day.  We went up to the lake last weekend and shut it down.  What a sad time, but hey Rowdy loved it because he was allowed on the front beach.  I might also mention that Grant Park is still fun, and the football team is 1-1.  We go to St. Paul's Thursday.

Also a quick shout out to Russ & Meghan who are expecting in April!

Teresa loves playing fish with daddy!

Gangsta T in da' house!

Teresa can walk Rowdy now with his mouth harness on.  It is so cute, and she rarely gets pulled down.

Teresa loves swinging, especially with people her size :)

I am glad to have such a respectable brother in law...

I went to tuck Teresa in late one night and here she was napping away, exactly like this...  Crazy kid!

Look...  Teresa looks happy to be by Tony... Finally!

She is so cute :)

Teresa admiring the greatest birthday gift ever...  She willingly came to say hi to Uncle Tony.  She actually kept going around the cottage this weekend, informing us that the guest room was "Uncle Tony's bed".  Sorry Jackie, but she didn't reference you.

Once again...  I am glad I have such a respectable brother in law

Dance me to the end of love

Happy Anniversary Ken

Dance me to the children

who are asking to be born

Dance me through the curtains

that our kisses have outworn

Raise a tent of shelter now

though every thread is torn

Dance me to the end of love

Rowdy the Wussy Diva and Other Stories

So Jackie and Tony have come and gone, but I will talk about that in another post.  Teresa is doing great and is a constant source of wonderment and amusement to us. She is determined to learn all the words to "Little Rabbit Foo Foo" although I have changed the end so the field mice get their revenge on the little goon. She is pretty good with colours and can now recognize most numbers between 1 and 10. She is learning more every day and Ken and I are so proud.

In other news, I am starting a 6 week term starting on September 2nd teaching Home Ec for a teacher on medical leave. I can no longer wear regular pants and have had to pull out my maternity pants. I can also feel the baby move about once a day, little Yostie is getting stronger every day.

Now, on to the pictures.

The titular event of this post...it had rained earlier, and Rowdy was too delicate to actually pee on the wet grass. He stood there for 5 minutes until we let him back in.

Ken and Teresa, the two messiest ice cream eaters at Grand Beach.

Most of the family, together again.

Teresa always enjoys a good bath.
