Doctor's offices & ABCs


First time updating my blog via blackberry, since I'm waiting at the Dr's office and there are 10 people ahead of me (of which only 4 have arrived so maybe Ill be out of here in an hour). The joys of Quebec health care...  I had an ultrasound earlier this week (and that is the one place where somehow they are always on time). It went very well; I got to see baby moving a bit and s/he is the perfect size per age.  Evelyn got to spend some time with Clara & Joanna and is still talking about how she got to give the dogs treats.  She's been doing really well with her alphabet books (her favourite is the dinosaur one filled with difficult to pronounce gems such as huayangosaurus) luckily there's a phonetic guide at the end!  Ev can repeat each letter after me, and traces them with her finger (this is a bit trickier now that she wants to do it alone, but she generally moves her finger in the right motions).  I've been on a reading frenzy (since finishing le comte de monte cristo in the fall I've read lotr, safe haven, still Alice, amazonia) and am taking a bit of a break from impossible to put down books to have time for organizing post christmas :). It has been wonderful to actually have some time to read more than a magazine though.  Josh (mr fix anything) repaired the free plasma tv we picked up a week or so ago (cost us about 70$ in parts) and we treated ourselves to a nice (on clearance!) Tv stand and it really neatens up our living room.  Plus we've relocated some of Evey's toys in anticipation of the big move when the play/guest room is complete...we're aiming for 3 weeks from now when we'll have enough guests to warrant an extra space :D.  Well that's all from me this week... I'll upload when I have wifi (and maybe add pics...we'll see) <3 font="">
