Four Months Old

Mr. Canaan is four months old today. He just enjoyed his first Christmas, and got

To celebrate with both sides of the family. Which was such a wonderful blessing! He did absolutley fantastic on the two plane rides, so far he travels like a champ! Hopefully when him and I head back to Manitoba without daddy he will do the same thing ;)

Canaan likes too:

-talk and grunt. He's always making some kind of noise.

-listen to people sing. It calms him right down!

-watch us eat

-move! He's become a shuffler

-giggle when he gets tickled

-play in the bath!

-reach and play with his toys

-sleep! 

He's getting so big. I don't know how much he weighs, but he's getting heavy! He's so good at entertaining himself-it's fun to watch! He got to open lots of presents this Christmas, even though he didn't know what was going on he seemed to enjoy himself! 

We're having a great time in BC. Really enjoying spending time with family, Canaan really loves his uncles :)

  

Little man we love you so much. I thank God for you so often. And pray that I won't take for granted any of our time together. 

 

 

Thankful Thursday

1. Electricity. We were without it yesterday for about 4 hours. It's crazy how much we rely on the stuff. Without it our house wasn't warm, I couldn't flush the toilet, turn lights on etc. once it came back on I couldn't help but be thankful for it, because I really did miss it! 

2. Clean water. Today our taps are running this gross looking brown water. It probably won't stay that way for long, and is probably just some sedament in our pipes. But I'm thankful that usually every day we have clean water to shower in, cook with, drink and that we have it in abundance!!

3. Airplanes. In one week an airplane will take my little family and I to BC for Christmas. Thank you airplane! 

4. Disposable diapers. I'm thankful that there is one less thing I have to wash! I have a puker, I'm always doing laundry! 

5. Health. We take it for granted! I'm thankful today that we are getting over colds, and that a cold is all we had. 

6. This mild winter we're having. I do miss the abundance of snow, we could have more of that. But I am enjoying the milder temperatures.

7. The frost that's been hanging around for a few days. The trees are beautiful! I don't get outside a whole lot this time of year with a little one, but I love being able to look outside and see the beauty still! 

8. Photography. I really do enjoy using my camera. And I love that I can capture memories of my little guy and not just have to commit them to memory. 

9. Salt water spray and nose syringes. I know gross, right? But without them I would of had a grumpier little boy on my hands! I'm also thankful that eventually little ones learn to blow there noses😊. 

10. Being able to buy gifts for people. I love giving gifts. Having to think about what that person would want, searching for it, seeing there face when they receive it. I'm thankful that we have the luxury to purchase gifts. I know gifts don't have to be bought, but it's nice to be able to do that every once in a while! 

What are you thankful for today?

Today was busy. I kept forgetting to take my SLR with me, so

Once again all these photos are from my phone. Boo, I know. This season is always so busy, and I realized today that we have something happening every single day this week- all they way to next week! I was a little stressed today, there's lots to do. But it all got done. At least the stuff on today's list :) I did end the day not feeling well and having to cancel my evening plans, I think a nice hot bath might be on the menu for the rest of my

Evening. 

1.breakfast. Cinnamon toast crunch, yes please. 

2. Mailing Christmas letters was on today's agenda. Done. 

3. Home made turtles, Christmas baking has commenced.

4. Front door selfie. we left the house today to run errands. I was in real clothes, and make up. It had to be documented.
