Good Morning everyone,

Well, we had a good weekend. I got almost all of my shopping done and we had a nice supper and a great time at the comedy club. The opening act was horrible, I mean BAD but the main comedian was hillarious. He was on Last Comic Standing. His name is John Wessling. He was just great, there was a pint in time where I thought if he didn't stop talking I would pass out from laughing so hard.

Anyway Mckenna, I want to report that I bought all of my gifts except 2!!!!! I told you. LOL

Stacie, you have to guess a new day cause I already had Dec 9th. I'll post a list of which days are taken.

Stacy - Dec 9
Mckenna - Dec 6
Erin - Dec 8
Cathy - Dec 15
Muriel - Dec 7

Alrighty, gotta run. Everyone have a great day.

Stacy

P.S. Stacie, it's snowing like crazy here, we've received about 3 inches of snow overnight. How would you like that shipped to you? LOL

[cathy102]

Hi Stacy...Sounds like you had a great weekend. I haven't shopped for Xmas yet.. Sean's birthday is next week and I am focusing on that first. My kids have so much stuff, so I will not be buying too much. I could open up a Toy Store .. We haven't had any snow but it's so cold here...

Just waiting for my parents to get here to visit...I will check back later...

[cathy102]

Jess...How did the DR appt go? Did your DR say how close you are in having Ivy????

[mckenna]

[stone]

I heard from Jess yesterday,and so far no baby Ivy.......She will be here anyday.....

Okay I will snag Dec 10th....Sorry for taking your date Stacy.

I want Stacy to send me some snow UPS next day air........LOL

[melon161]

Good morning everyone,

Stacie, I will get that snow out to you today. We have enough here to make me miserable. LOL

Mckenna, Thanks for reminding me that I have to take the kids to get Santa pictures this weekend. I'm a little worried that Asher will be freaking out. Last year he couldn't have cared less. He just sat there and smiled.

Jess, I can't wait to hear that you've had Ivy!

Has anyone else read the James Frey book "A Million Little Pieces". I did and I loved it. I just bought his other book "My Friend Leonard". I can't wait to get started on it but I'm reading another book right now so I've gotta finish that one first.

Also, I have to get Asher one or two more things, anyone have any suggestions? It's so hard to buy for his age.

HI Everyone,

We just got back from Nicolas' appointment with the Occupational Health Therapist. He did very good. He's average for most things, he's above average on jumping and stairs and stuff and then he's below average on his fine motor skills, so we have to work on those things. She gave me lots of ideas of what to get him to help him build the strength in his hands so we're going to be working lots on those types of things.

Any baby yet Jess?

Stacy

[coachmur]

Hey everyone,

Just had to check in and see if the baby is here yet. She is probably being born as we speak. It would be awesome if I won the poll since I have never won one.

It is cold here today. Below zero, but we still have tons of snow. I went out to get firewood and shovel the deck for the zillionth time this week and I was sweating. Of course now I am freezing so I think I will have to take a hot shower.

Stacy, that is great how well Nick did with the therapist. Did she suggest those Duplo blocks. They are just basically huge lego's. Our boys always loved those. Boys love to build things. Do you guys have snow yet. Usually your climate is very similar to ours. Are you close at all to High River? One of my best friends grew up there. She now lives in Sedgewick? I think I spelled that right.

Where is everybody? I have been pretty bummed lately. We got a call for two small kids last week and then they didn't give them to us and I have been bummed ever since. I was so excited to think about having little kids in the house on Christmas morning. That is so fun. We feel sort of like we are being ignored by our dphs office and we don't know why.

Well I should go and get the chicken in the oven for dinner. We have to eat early tonight.

Talk to ya all later. Go Jess, get that baby born today.

Muriel

Hey Stacy....thanks for the snow.We are supposed to get 3-5 inches tomorrow.HOORAY!!I LOVE IT!
Keep sending it to us!

Muriel...what a bummer that you wont get the kids for Christmas.

Have you girls completed your shopping yet?I am officially done with my shopping....

Well it is homework time,so I will check back later this week.
