Roman, Oshawa and some New (old) Pictures

Roman has been in a lot of pain since the surgery and has not been himself. But we switched his medicine on Friday and there has been a remarkable difference! He is back to only getting up 2-3 times a night, which for anyone else is terrible but for him is excellent. And as long as he gets his medicine, he is a happy, adventuresome little guy again.

His motor skills are quite amazing. He can feed himself (and me) with a spoon and put lids on to baby food jars and stuff. He also likes to play baby hockey: he pushes one thing across the floor using another thing. Or takes a long object and hooks it into a toy to pick it up. I made a little video of him eating an apple (a whole one, like how we would eat it). It's from my new camara so as soon as I figure out the software and stuff I will post the video.

We are going to Oshawa on Thursday, and I will see it (and Toronto!) for the first time. Here are the last of the fuzzy pictures from my broken old dinosaur camara. I bought a really great new one so I'll be posting more and better pictures in the future.



Here's your answer about Halloween, Sam! No costume for Roman yet though.

Clapping along with the baby Einstein movie. How freaking cute is my son?

Angelina liked Avery's red and orange butterfly on her right cheek, so she grabbed some markers and made her own. How resourceful and independent!

Feeding himself some messy baby food. His aim is almost perfect.

Snuggling up on the couch. These two love each other so much! They are the cutest little munchkins in the world. They are almost total opposites though, so they're like a funny little odd couple.

Hello from Vancouver

Hello everyone hope things are going well!!

Key - Omigosh, I hope Roman is doing alright since his emergency surgery. Has he improved at all since? More happy, hungry etc? I sure hope so....Lee and I send him hugs and kisses.

I'm doing well, my project I'm on right now for work (the Casino in Burnaby) is 6 weeks until the Opening date to the general public so I'm super busy right now to say the least. Other than that Lee and I set our moving date again and this one is set in stone. We'll be officially moving in together on November 1st. SO EXCITED!!! Then even more exciting news....we're going to get a puppy the weekend after....a daschund. I've got the names picked out already....if it's a boy doggy we're naming him Jalepeno Fromage and if it's a girl doggy the name will be Martini Bizzle. Such a dork, I know!! LOL

Other updates...Lee and I went to Mexico at the end of August and had a great time, I posted a ton of pictures on facebook if anyone wants to see. We have also become God-parents to my friends son, Joshua, the ceremony was on September 7th and it was a great day and honour. That's about it for now.

Hope you all had a great summer, and are ready for the Fall weather and festivities (any one who has kids do you know what they are going to be for Halloween yet??)

Cheers!! xoxox

Another Hospital Visit...

...that place is getting to be like a second home. We took Roman into the ER yesterday for emergency surgery.

Poor Roman has had a hernia for so long now and has been having more and more frequent episodes of crying, vomiting and refusing to eat. Yesterday it was finally bad enough to do the emergency surgery, thank God! Who knows how much longer we would have had to wait for a surgery date.

There were complications becuase his little guts were all twisted and the surgery took awhile. The surgeon also had to remove his appendix just to make room. Then we had to stay overnight and Roman had an IV until he pulled it out (Good job, baby!)

My little guy is remarkably resilient and mostly back to normal. Once he is healed, he will have no more pain! I am so happy this is over. It may happen again on the other side, but it could take years and maybe not at all.

Angelina was a little angel through the whole thing. From impressing the nurses in the ER to playing in the children's ward, she thought the hospital was great!

What wonderful kids I have.

Another Wedding

My camara has really had it; now the pictures are all blurry. Can anyone recomend a good user-friendly, quality-picture camara?
Angelina and her cousin KaileaAwww, these two get along so well
Dancing with Grandpa (I know, he looks just like Matt!)
This wasn't at the wedding, obviously! Just a little picture of my creative genius/comedian
