Update

Life is falling into a routine. Mika has been an amazing addition to our lives. She is a pleasure to take out as for the most part she quietly watches the world pass her by or sleeps. One exception was our recent trip to babies r us, but after a quick feed in the parenting room, we were back out and shopping again. She is awake a lot more now, and has developed fairly strict sleeping and eating patterns.  There are always exceptions, but for the most part we can not complain.


Joel and I made our first trip out to Lilac where he helped my dad clean up the site from the fall. Joel and dad had taken apart the deck, but left the wood scattered throughout the site. They used some shelving and stacked it in the corner of the site for now. They still have a lot of work ahead of them, but it will all slowly come together. They were out again this past Sunday moving the trailer from out of the swampy bush.


This past weekend was filled with family time. My sister in law was in town for spring break and spent a couple of days with Mika and I. She even came with me to a doctor’s appointment. The appointment turned out to be a waste of time since it wasn’t with my normal doctor and the fill in was, well less than helpful. It was still nice to have the company though. As always, Sarah and I spent hours talking about everything and anything.


Friday Joel and I drove north to look at some property however nothing caught our eye, but the drive together was enjoyable. Friday night we had the Hayward Easter dinner at Martin and Barb’s condo. Joel’s grandparents joined and were happy to hold little Mika. Actually I do not think she was put down the entire dinner. That night at about 3am, Joel took over for me on baby duty so I could get some sleep. He stayed with her until the early morning, only waking me for feedings. It was a nice break for me.


Saturday we had Easter dinner with my parents and grandma. It was almost the exact same meal, but we enjoyed it. Mika has already been spoiled for Easter receiving books, clothes, stuffed animals, bibs, socks, etc.


Joel also worked on our back entrance this past weekend and installed the lino we had bought months ago. It is so much easier to clean and I am enjoying it! (even though it is temporary)


Yesterday Mika and I made our first trip to Steinbach to visit Sarah and Ryan. It was a good afternoon, although Mika slept most of the time. Ryan sure is an active little boy now! In the evening we headed over to Kevin and Mel’s for a visit. Mika was awake for part of the visit, and stayed up late last night.


Anyways, that is all for now! Enjoy ~
