Case's 2nd Birthday

Ethan helped his friend, Case (a friend's son from my Blue Jay Elementary days) celebrate his 2nd birthday on January 30, 2010. Ethan had a lot of fun playing with the Sesame Street characters, eating cake, collecting pinata treats and watching Case open his gifts! Happy Birthday Case!

Ethan Visits Terry Fox Elementary

I brought Ethan to school with me today to enjoy a field trip to a presentation at Howe Middle School by Max-a-Mime. The show was done without any words. Max was very funny and kept us all laughing. Ethan enjoyed being with my students, who were also very excited to see him.

The Zoo in January

Ethan and I went to the Zoo on Saturday. We had the most beautiful warm weather and so thought we would take advantage and go for a bike ride. We had a great time. The zoo was quiet and all the animals seemed to be out enjoying the lovely weather too because they were easy to spot.

Nana Colleen

On Wednesday, Jan 13, we found out that Nana Colleen was diagnosed with cancer. There are not a lot of details available right now, but I would appreciate your prayers for her and the family.

Grandma Lauder's Visit

Grandma Lauder came out to visit for the weekend to help make some freezer meals and do some shopping for the baby. We had a good visit and got some much needed items checked off the pre-baby "to do" list.

Ultrasound Update

On January 5, 2010, I had another ultrasound, at BC Womens Hospital in Vancouver, to look at the babies head. Other than discovering the baby was already about 6lbs. 6oz. the news was very good. The doctors are saying that baby now looks normal and other than a few tests (head ultrasound and neurological testing) that they would like to follow baby up with after birth, I am done with ultrasounds!

Soccer

Ethan started playing soccer on January 4, 2010. He is really enjoying it, although he was hesitant at first, and looks forward to playing. He will often wakes up asking if he has soccer that day and likes to teach his mom how to play. He practices on Monday nights and plays a game every Wednesday. His team has won his last two games and Ethan has scored three goals. He also likes to play goalie.
