.. while my crabby kid sleeps, a much needed new picture for the kitchen!

.. update!

Well, apologies to those of you who read this: I've been so busy with work and school that I haven't had much time at all to keep this thing up to date.

I have to have the most of my coursework done by next Tuesday, so I've been in a mad rush to get everything emailed in and completed - who knew that taking two courses could take up so much time and be such a hassle when working a full time job and trying to be a decent parent? Anyway, I've got a good handle on it now, I just need to work hard for the next week and I will be finished. Whew.

I've also been trying to get my apartment in order to have a new roommate come in. My friend Gillian wants to stay until December or January, so I've been trying to sort out the office and figure out how to switch rooms around so that she's comfortable here. So far so good - I just need some more hours in .. every.. day. As soon as I have some more time, I will write a new post.

Chelsea is good. Biting kids left right and centre at daycare, but good.

.. New Birthday Present!!

Well, it turns out that all this time Sean was really paying attention - and for my birthday he bought me a new camera! That means a) I don't have to borrow his anymore and b) updating this blog will now be much more colourful and fun. Weehaw!

Anyway, we went out to Tony Roma's and stuffed ourselves full of riblings and chocolate lava cake and took a few pictures before the battery died off...

I look just like my grandma!

I love chocolate milk! Rar!

Om nom nom.

We also caught a photograph of an altered billboard sign, but a baby-update blog is hardly the place for something like that. Haha. INAPPROPRIATE.

Good News!

Chelsea is finally snot-free! This new anti-biotic has fully taken away her cough and all of the gross congestion in her throat/nose/face. A big relief. Now I just have to figure out a way to get rid of her awful diaper rash and we'll be set. (A big part of that must be the heat.)

Speaking of this heat... I was unaware Calgary sat in the very mouth of hell. Today the high was something ridiculous like +32.. lucky for us, our apartment stays very cool and comfortable - but at work today we took 30some kids to the zoo for 5 hours and we were all exhausted by the time we left. No tiger is worth that kind of torture, I'm afraid.

Otherwise, things are going quite well. Chelsea is loving summer - has some really cute new dresses and things from Grandma Spongebobbi - and she's doing well with daycare and her friends there. I am quite stressed out with lots of things, but hopefully it will all settle down in the next month or so. Or at least I'll just keep my head up until it does.

Anyway, it's time for bed. Here's a picture of the day I took Chelsea to the zoo.. (a few weeks ago).
