Family Update

These past few months have gone by quickly, nice to be back to a schedule after the holidays and a routine.     Life doesn't really slow down from December-February though. With Christmas, Dreyton's Birthday, Lee's Birthday, Lee's Grad, My Birthday, Valentines Day, Anniversary and then the baby is born.   This all happens before the end of February, not to mention day to day stuff.

Lee

Lee is now in his 30's!   He celebrated his birthday by going on a guy's night to a movie, then playing some xbox at home afterwards with some friends.   He doesn't get to do that much as he's quite busy with other things.

He has been enjoying basketball with his mens league each week, as well as church basketball that runs through January. He also coaches Zoë's basketball team each Friday.

Lee's been working really hard these past couple months with a few big files that need to be done in tight deadlines.   I would like to think its slowing down soon but busy season isn't even here yet..   We are super excited that he got through all his CASB exams, and UFE exam, with all his hard work this past year.    Nice to know he doesn't have to do assignments in the evenings anymore, or study all summer long during paid vacation time.    He just has a few more months to finish off the hour requirements he needs, then he is officially a CA (chartered accountant)!   We celebrated this weekend by going to his graduation, and a Ball in honour of all the new CA's.  

My dad was able to welcome Lee into the CA Program being a CA himself.













Lee's co-workers from BDO that passed the UFE this year as well

The Ball at the Telus Convention Centre

You would think that would be enough to keep him busy, but he is also a Ward Missionary Leader which he enjoys, and goes out with the missionaries to teach once in awhile as well.   

Zoë

Zoë LOVES kindergarten, she has fun learning and keeping busy. If there's ever a day where she stays home most of the day she's very restless and begging to go out.   She is all about pretending right now, pretend this and pretend that. Dreyton and her keep busy most days playing pretend.

Zoë is on a basketball league with 5 other boys and Daddy as her coach. She is starting to get the hang of dribbling and passing a bit more. The first few times were more practicing ballet in the middle of a game.  She has also just started a sports class which is weekly at the YMCA, each week they learn a new sport.

She is such a girly girl (not sure where that came from, as I am not).   I went shopping the other day with her, which was an interesting experience.  From high heel shoes, to hair supplies, to jewelry, to makeup, she could have spent hours in the store (and LOTS of money).  

She also was very excited that Nana Stanford took her to get her first manicure.

Dreyton

Dreyton is my easy kid right now, he is very content to play anything and everything.   His favourite things to do are puzzles or to play on any electronic.   

He is in the same sports class as Zoë, he gets so excited to go each week to learn a new sport.    He loves to wrestle with anybody that will join him.  

Dreyton also just started speech therapy which he LOVES.   His speech has improved a tonne in the past few months before he started speech, so they dont' think he will need help for long, mostly with his S sounds.   They play game after game while he's there, so he doesn't even realize that he's learning at the same time.     

Kristy (me)

I have been keeping really busy lately being a taxi driver.   I am in the car multiple times a day driving kids to school, YMCA, basketball etc.    I have also been trying to finish projects around the house and getting ready for our new baby to join the family.   

It is crazy to think I have less then a month before this baby arrives, the time has come so fast it seems.   I am not sure how i'll be able to do it with me driving around so much with a newborn, but i'm sure I'll figure it out.
