Time is flying by

I can't keep up with the days sometimes. So busy with ScrapCentral that there does not seem to be enough hours in the day. Tomorrow we launch, I am so excited!! I hope everyone likes the site as much as I do. I have big plans for it.

A little milestone yesterday. Last night, while sitting with Derek I felt the baby move. That was the first time I felt the baby. Very cool. Although as a mom of 4 children already, I know that it will only be cool for a bit, until it gets to be not so cool as this baby grows and takes more room. I pray this is not another huge baby! LOL

Cassaundra goes to see the surgeon next week, the lump is back in her shoulder. The Dr. seems to think she will need surgery again, we will see.

I go to register Chelsea at school in 2 weeks. I can't believe that my little girl will be starting school next year. It seems too soon. I think she will love it though.

Today

The Rideau Canal opens today! Yay! It finally got cold enough for it to open. I am really looking forward to taking the kids skating on it. I grew up skating on the canal, but I moved away when my kids were so little that they have never had a chance to skate on it. This year will be their first. So I am going to get grandpa to watch the two little ones, while Derek and I take Cassaundra and Brennen skating. It will be fun to experience Winterlude.

We have snow, but not nearly as much as we usually have this time of year. That's ok with me. There is enough for the kids to enjoy still. They love to play outside in a fort with the neighbours kids. They are adjusting really well to living here. Better than me!

But between the kids and ScrapCentral, I am keeping busy. There is a ton I miss about Cambridge, but I am sure eventually I can replace it. I get so sentimental at times, maybe it's just these pregnancy hormones.

ScrapCentral launches next weekend! I can't wait, I have so many plans for it. I want to make this the best site! Melissa has done a great job with it too. It has been a lot of work getting it all done, but the end is in site.

So if you have read this far, you may as well head over to ScrapCentral's blog to check out what is going on next! www.scrapcentral.blogspot.com

It's winter now

We finally got some snow, and it now looks more like winter. It was only about 10cm, but enough for the kids to play in it.

I have been super busy, ScrapCentral is keeping me hopping! Everything is all set, the website is almost done, and the launch is in only 2 1/1 weeks!!

Yesterday I had a midwife's appt, and got to hear the heartbeat. That always makes it feel so real. Can't wait for the 20 week ultrasound though! I really hope we can find out what we are having. I am feeling good. Other than a growing belly, I don't feel too pregnant. Except the tiredness. But that is a combination of being with busy kids all day, and staying up too late working!

Check out my other blog!!

ScrapCentral is just about to launch, and in the meantime I have lots of fun things planned!! Check out my blog at www.scrapcentral.blogspot.com for more details!
You can also check out www.scrapcentral.ca for a sneak peek!

It's snowing!!

I just looked outside, and I see snow!! Nothing on the ground yet, but it is blowing all over, so maybe we will actually get to see some cover the grass. My kids will be happy. Cassaundra has a ski trip coming up that they would have had to cancel if the weather didn't turn around soon. So maybe I will have a new backyard pic to post soon!

Just got off the phone with Jillian. Boy can we talk! I don't think it is ever under an hour. I miss our get togethers though. Now we can commiserate being pregnant together. And Jillian, I really don't need any more stamps! But as long as you are placing an order...

Meatballs are in the crockpot for dinner tonight. I love a crockpot. Isn't nice to be able to throw a bunch of food in, and then you do nothing, and then it is cooked? I am going to have to find some more crockpot recipes.

Well I have to help some little girl finish her game. That is the great thing about a laptop, it can follow me where ever I go!

The view of my backyard - where's the snow??

Good morning

Thursday morning, not as cold as it was yesterday. But I can't complain, the weather has been great this winter. We still don't have any snow. Weird. I hope it gets cold enough to at least take the kids skating on the canal. Winterlude starts in 3 weeks, so there is still time.

I don't have as much to do for ScrapCentral today. The website is on hold for a bit, while Melissa is away on holidays. We posted a sneak peek launch page yesterday, I can show everyone that for now. I have a lot of plans for the contests and giveaways though, so I will work on finalizing those.

Chelsea and I are working on learning how to write her name, that is one thing we will be doing today. Caiden is busier than ever, especially now that he is walking. He is so cute when he walks, he goes slow, but has the biggest grin on his face as if to say 'look at me!'.

Speaking of Caiden, he is wanting attention right now, off to finish morning breakfast routine.
