Connor's Christmas Concert

The concert was awesome and we really enjoyed it.

Merry Christmas

We are all very excited about Christmas. We have been busy making chocolates,doing Christmas baking,wrapping gifts and just enjoying being together as a family. This will be Kayla's first Christmas which is very exciting. We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and hope you enjoy time with family and friends.

Our beautiful kids

I know it has been a long time since we have posted anything. We are back in Regina now. Cyrus is working for DCI an engineering firm in Emerald Park just outside Regina. He does RF design and loves it. It is something he has always wanted to do in his career. I am home full time with the kids and love it. Connor is in Kindergarten now and loves it. He goes to Pilot Butte for school. We are looking to buy our house there or build. Kayla is eight months old now and very busy. We are enjoying our children and are so blessed. Happy thanksgiving to everyone and we hope you have a wonderful time with family and friends. We are so blessed and have alot to be thankful for.

First Laugh

Today Kayla laughed for the first time. It was so sweet and precious. Connor was singing a silly song and saying silly words to her and she laughed. He was so excited that he spent the next 10 min trying to get her to laugh again. Kayla loves her brother and gets very happy and excited when she sees him. I look forward to many more firsts. It is really special for Cyrus and I to see the bond Connor and Kayla are already starting to develop. Lets hope it lasts.

Moving back to Canada

We are moving back to Canada at the end of May. We are all so excited. We have been in Edinburgh for three years and are ready to move back. It has been an amazing experience over hear and we have enjoyed the experience. Now that Connor will be starting Kindergarten we wanted to be back home. It will be so wonderful to be back with all our friends and family. We have also really missed our church back home too. The church here has been great but there are no kids our kids age and that is really important to us. We want our kids to grow up with peers their own age. The only scary part is Cyrus does not have a job back home yet. It was a big decision to give up a job to go back to no job. Please pray for his success in finding work back home. It is Regina we will be moving to. We thought it was more important to be back with family,friends and our church family than staying here for a job. We know God will bless us and we trust in him. That's all for now and we look forward to seeing alot of you real soon. Please pray for us in the coming months.

Mommy and Kayla

I feel so blessed to have another beautiful,healthy child. Having a little girl is very special. I feel blessed to have a boy and girl. God has once again given me the priviledge of raising another child to love and serve him. I am so glad to have an amazing husband to do this with. Today is Mother's day in Scotland and I feel humbled to be given the opportunity to do the greatest and most fullfilling job on earth. I pray I can be the kind of mom my kids are proud of and one that can help them grow up to be good Christian people. Thank you God for this opportunity once again!

Gifts from God

We are so blessed! Our family is complete.

More pictures!!!

For those who aren't satisfied with the meager images posted as part of the blog, I have begun a Picasa WebAlbum and will be going back through the archives to add pix of us on our adventures in the last couple years as well as putting up new pix as time goes on. The link is on the sidebar.

Sleep? Who needs sleep?!

 

Kayla has a wakeful time for about 2 hours just when we normally go to sleep.

 

It's getting shorter, so we are hoping that she'll align her day to ours. She's staying awake more in the day, and we're hoping that this will help.

 

So far so good....

Sweet Dreams

 

I suppose that it's quite normal. Maybe only parents 'get it'. I just love watching her sleep...

More pix of the baby

 

Here is Kayla and her mommy just before her first time out of the house. We went for a walk around Hill Park, our neighbourhood. It was a lovely day.

 

Here's a shot of her little hand.

 

Here is her hair, which was a big surprise after Connor. He had no hair for a good while after he was born.

 

And this is my little sweetheart saying, "Enough is enough!"
