I am so behind in my blogging! It has been pretty busy around here. A few weekends ago, Ainsley & I drove to Edmonton to pick up Peter when he got back from California. We had a fun weekend shopping at WEM and eating out! Last weekend we went to the Santa Claus parade in downtown Cold Lake. There was quite a turnout, the streets were lined with people and there were lots of floats too ... we were impressed! The neat thing about small town life is that, though there were alot of people out for the parade, we still saw several people we knew and their families.
On Saturday night we put up our Christmas tree and decorated it, while drinking eggnog of course. Ainsley enjoyed playing with what soft ornaments I could find for her to chew on and throw! Then, on Sunday we went to Moose Lake Provincial Park and went for a very long trek through the woods ... we were exhausted afterward, with the exception of Ainsley who got to nap for most of the hike :)
(They relaxed while I decorated the tree!)
This weekend the Christmas celebrations are starting. I have a Christmas dinner on Friday night with the girls ... then we have a Tacky Sweater Party to go to on Saturday night ... and then Sunday is the church Christmas potluck. The list continues ...
I am excited for Christmas; Ainsley already has a pretty good stash under the tree, and its going to be lots of fun watching her tear away (and probably eat) the wrapping paper.
Speaking of Ainsley - she is growing so much. She is 7 months old as of yesterday, and weighs 16 lbs., 3 ozs. She is sitting up and clapping, and able to put small pieces of food in her mouth by herself - with Mommy's supervision of course! She is also getting very good at handling her pink sippy cup and likes to drink her water from there. Also, she seems to be getting close to waving, but we're not sure. She & I will be heading to Ottawa in late January for a 2 week visit - I am very much looking forward to that! It will be interesting to see how the flight goes however ... I will be one of those people on the plane going back and forth down the aisle with the baby to keep her entertained! She is just the best little girl, sleeping very well (up to nearly 12 hrs. straight at night!), happy most of the time and curious about everything!!
I will try to keep up a little better ... not as much spare time as I used to have ; )
Team PM & Ainsley
