First Big Dentist Visit

The boys have been to the Dentist a few times. And they are pretty comfortable... as comfortable as one can be at the Dentist. Yesterday Zachary had some cavities filled and today is Jonas' turn. I am sitting waiting at the Dentist office as they work on Jonas.

I was able to sit in with him, but it is hard to watch your small person have uncomfortable work done. It was hard enough to sit there with him while they administered the nitrous. He is such a good sport. He was just such a big little guy as he climbed up into the big dental chair. He laid so still as they moved the chair back into a recline, and then up to a higher level. Jonas just laid there so calm as they placed a little mask over his small nose. He looked so small in the big chair, but was such a big boy. He was so good and did what was asked of him.

I am so grateful for their health. I can't imagine what some parents have to go through when their children are sick. I think among so many tough things parents have to do as part of their job as a 'parent', but one extreemly difficult one would be having to be the strong one when your child is sick or scared.
Jonas is so brave and trusting. As I sit out in the waiting room I can't stop thinking about how brave he is. Since Zachary came out so well yesterday I have a sense of calm knowing Jonas won't likely remember anything, especially discomfort.
Oh he's done. I'll continue when I get home. What a champ!

...

Jonas is such a strong little guy. He came walking out of the office like it was almost nothing. That didn't take long at all. Less than half an hour. He seems a little sleepy, but that is to be expected since he hasn't had a nap and was just given nitrous. He picked out some green rings, and then we went to get a slurpee. Now that we are home, and it's a nice causal Saturday, we are just going to relax and watch some movies. It's pretty chilly out and we even had a little snow fall from the sky today. So it's a perfect day to just put our feet up and cuddle.

I'm proud of my little guys :)

Yard Sale

On the way to Zachary's soccer practice I chipped my favorite cup. I was pretty bummed and was talking to Zachary about it. He told me that I could "Yard Sale it". "That's what you do when you don't want something anymore" he told me "you just yard sale it." I told him I wouldn't want to yard sale it since it was broken and that I would rather fix it. He then told me that someone's broken things are someone else's new special thing. I guess he was trying to explain to me that one person's trash is another's treasure. He is a smart kid :)

Happy Valentine's Day


Last night Zachary prepared some Valentine Cards for his class mates. He was having trouble writing the small letter 'e'. We had to take a little break from the cards to practice E's and Z's. It was still quite a bit of fun. The more he did the more fun he had. Today his class is having a Valentine's Day party, and Zachary was signed up to bring some fruit. I thought watermelon and strawberries were the perfect Valentiner colour and shape. I made little hearts out of the watermelon for his class mates.


Another special Valentine's treat was that we (Jonas, Zachary and I) were able to wish some special ladies a Happy Valentine's Day. We had a little extra time before school to Skype with Oma, Auntie Jo, Auntie Care and beautiful baby Baylee. It was so much fun to see them. The boys played peek a boo with Baylee (fun for everyone).

A SUPER Bowl Birthday

On Sunday we were in Abbotsford to watch Superbowl XLV and celebrate Scott's 35th birthday. We had a blast with some close friends (Nick, Amy, Darcy, Debbie, Sarah and Ryan) and even a local celebrity. Geroy Simon from the BC Lions was in attendance. Scott was able to get his #81 Simon jersey signed by the local hero.



Sarah and I needed a picture with Geroy too :).

"To Scotty, Happy 35th"

Happy Birthday Scott!

You draw circles around us instead of a hearts. Since hearts can be broken, but a circles, like our love, goes on forever. Happy Birthday to the man who makes our world go round. We love you!

Krista, Zachary and Jonas

Jonas the fish

In keeping up with his big brother, Jonas has started swimming lessons as well. These lessons are the first for our whale. No surprise he loves it!

Zachary in the pool

Along with soccer, Zachary has swimming lessons. Wednesday evenings for 30 minutes he learns water safety and different glides. He loves being back in the water. Once he finishes this set of lessons, he will be in the Swim Kids program. Before we know it, we'll be attending swim meets.
