Sanora's b-day / work

It's been a while since my last entry, sorry about that. My computer is having problems loading pictures for some reason, they will be up as soon as I can get them up.

Unfortunantly both girls where sick leading up to the weekend aka Sanora's birthday. I felt bad for her and we tried to make it fun for her. We took her down to the Nakui fastival down town, it was a childrens festival with the first act being an outragously silly musicion, with the name Washboard Bob, Bryan and I like him. The second act was duplex, the band with Vida Hille and her husband, Bryan was in the high hevens when they played. For those of you we have made listen to "pooing and peeing at the same time!" that would be them! There was face painting, clowns, and tons of free goodies, so Sanora loosened up a bit, The band even sang happy birthday to Sanora to which was great, in fact the whole room did. It was so cute watching Bryan dance to silly songs with Sanora, Sienna LOVES to dance so she was laughing the whole time. We went for a late lunch after but poor Sanora couldn't eat anything. When we got home she pritty much was cometose on the couch all night, she couldn't even talk to grandpa on the phone. She didn't remember later when I told her anyway so she must have been pritty out of it. This sunday will be Sanora's party, we're having it at the house and Sanora has invited her whole class, golp! I have to work right after so Bryan gets to deal with the after math, he he!

As you know i work security at the college now. I really like the job, I have actually gotten calls for interview since but is quite content where i am. The security job challenges me (more like the students) and I like the hours. I did 2 grave yard shifts in a row and I was fine as long as I got a couple hours sleep before going on shift. Monday night was a bit of a nightmare, because with Sienna sick I didn't get her to bed till 10, then I chopped wood (Bryan's back is out) so I ended up with 15 minutes of sleep, it had the domino effect for the rest of the night. In the morning I ended up missing the bus by less than a minute so I waited for the next one in -45 for 45 minutes in very unappropriate clothing.....so when I pulled off my boots I lad a layer of ice around my socks and frost bite on each of my big toes. I'm laughing about it now, but I tell ya I sure wasn't at the time.

New Job/The Girls

Bryan and I have decided that I would start looking for work before mat leave was over because I needed to find something that would work for our family. It had to be nights, which is harder to find because everything closes so early, and over 10 dollars an hour. I couldn't stay at Reitmans because of all of those reasons and lets face it, it was the most undesirable job I have ever worked. I found 2 that where suiting, 1 being a security job at the college and the second being at an all organic bakery down town. The college is close by and has walking trails across the street from us that leads right down to the college. I just got word the other day that I got the job doing security at the college, with the hours being midnight to 8 in the morning which is perfect because then Sienna doesn't have to be in daycare even for a few hours. We might see after a while about her going in 1 day a week when she gets a little older though. I will probably be doing 1 to 2 days a week and then the rest on-call, with it paying allot more than what I was getting at Reitmans. I'm really excited about the job, partly for some silly reasons, but hey it gets me out of the house.

Sienna is growing so fast, she's learning new things all the time. She plays peek-a-boo by herself with what ever is in her hand, and it doesn't seem to matter if you can see her either. She waves at us all the time and is trying to stand on her own now. Sienna is such a character, she makes me laugh all day. If she can make you laugh doing something, she will do it over and over, seeming very entertained by our amusement. She started throwing herself on the ground, almost like playing dead, then will start laughing. Sanora is amazing with Sienna, and loves playing with her. The other night Sanora had a glass of water on the coffee table, and Sienna had gotten a hold of it dropping the cup to the ground. Sanora started laughing so Sienna picked it up doing it over and over again. I almost had to run to the bathroom I was laughing so hard, especially when the girls just stared at each other laughing for almost 5 minutes. As Sienna gets older and more able to get into Sanora's things, I'm sure things will start to change a little bit. Like Tara and Donovan said, she doesn't know what she's in for.

Happy new years everyone

First of all I want to thank everyone for there gifts and phone calls. We are very fortunate to have such a big loving family. We have had such a crazy Christmas that our cards got sent out late, and we all greatly apologize for that.

On Christmas day the girls where amazing. Sanora looked like a windup doll on full speed. She looked like she was going to jump out of her skin. We had to keep calming Sanora down and toke a few breaks both to elongate the process as well as to give Sanora time to take everything in so she wasn't to overwhelmed. In the excitement she even started unwrapping some of our gifts. Sienna was such a cutey pie, and loved all the paper and colors swirling around her. It was amazing to watch them both.

For new years we went to a friends house and slept over. They had borrowed a Karaoke machine and everyone went nuts with it. They had some kids CD's so all the kids piled around singing twinkle twinkle little star and songs like that. Sanora had a blast, especially because there where other girls there. Everyone stumbled on there way about 2 in the morning in which Sienna woke up. I couldn't put her to bed by 5 in the morning because she woke up as hyper as could be, little stinker.

I have started applying to different places around town to start work again. I applied at the college for a security position and it looks like I might get it. I had an interview yesterday and it went quite well, both of the interviewers where really easy going which made it easier. It will be nights so that Bryan can still keep his hours and I can still stay home with the girls during the day. We're going to do it how ever we can so that Sienna doesn't have to go into day care. The job pays well, enough in fact that I can work allot less than I did before and still have the same amount coming in.
