Well I was going to share with you some of our early Christmas pics. with Marianne and mom but as it turns out our camera card can not be read. So here's the thing; we purchased an new digital camera for Christmas - an upgrade, and low and behold the Future shop guys sells us this card that can't be read by any machine, thus it can't be developed without going though this long process of changing the files and so on and our computer won't let me upload them on to this blog. So Ray goes back to Future shop to see what the problem is and the same guy who sold us the camera and card says "oh, that one is not compatible" and leaves Ray to find one that is compatible on his own. Yikes, some people have no customer service skills. To make a long story short we finally got a few pictures developed but I appolize I can't share them on this blog. Now with the new card we hope there is no problems.
On a brighter note, I just want to say Thank you to my sister Marianne. I have been having a rough time with Mark lately and feel like I'll never make it through this terrible two stage with Mark. The whole time she was here she kept seeing how cute he was, or reminding me to see the postives rather then feeling like all I say is "no Mark, don't Mark, stop that Mark, slow down Mark, ect...." Even in the midst of it all he dose say some cute things or stops to give a hug and really he is just trying to have our undivide attention - all the time! So for the last few days since Marianne has been here I have tried my hardest to focus on him and see his cute side more. When there's a tantrum - 'cause believe me they haven't stoped - I try to CALMLY seek out what is bothering him. I guess I knew to do this all along but I have been so overwhelmed lately and emtionally drained I forgot. So Marianne - THANKS FOR SEEING HOW CUTE AND LOVING MARK REALLY IS!!
by the way, last night he said he is not going to bed until Auntie Marianne and Grandma come back!!

Here's a few photos to share with you
Melody with Kyla - mamma needs her cuddles
Mom thanks for the visit and all the cuddle time with the kids!
We picked our Christmas tree from up the mountain, not only was it free it was a great memory shared with Karl and Lisa and Kaden and Mark.
Let's begin - Dec. 13 2005
Well, as the Christmas season is upon us there is much to consider. We just enjoyed a great visit with my mom and sister Marianne. We celebrated a small Christmas together taking in the "Living Nativity" production at our church - Ray you looked great singing up there in full costume. We also shared a few gifts and had a great time visiting. Mom sure helped with the Christmas baking as well as a mini Gingerbread village.
We are starting to feel more and more at home here and a huge thanks goes to Ray's family for that. Ray is settling in at work even though there seems to be a great deal of disorganizness within the company as long and there is work and Ray is happy there all is well.
I have been keeping myself busy with the two kids and taking in a playgroup and take-a-break for women which has been a great means of meeting people. I also try to keep up with my scrapbooks, reading and learned to knit - Jill you always did inspire me and I finally picked it up - scarves is all I can do right now though.
I truely loved and needed this visit with my mom this last week and will count the days till February when I can see her again. Dad will finally met Kyla in a few weeks when he comes for the holidays and we lookforward to that time too.
Mark is doing great being a two, testing my patience and the rules and yet he has thoses cute, adorable times too. Kyla is 4mths now and discoved her voice and tongue. She'll coo and giggle for everyone. She learned to roll over while mom was here and just before mom left Kyla began to discover a means of inching like a worm to move across a blanket. I think she just wanted to show off to Grandma.
We have really loved keeping up with people through this blog idea and hope that many others will be able to use this means to keep in touch with us also. Thanks Lisa-Joy and John,(lisajoy-and-john.blogspot.com), Josh and Michelle (joshfuller.blogspot.com), and Brad and Stacey (xanga.com/bradandstace) for your blogs and letting us keep up with your lives. Hope many of you enjoy ours as well.
Keep in touch
