In Between


We're not too exciting around here, but I'll attempt to blog anyway.  We might get up early, but we take naps pretty seriously around here including me when I'm home.  I think if I didn't I get bored or that's my excuse.  Gavin woke up early from his nap and didn't want to stay in his crib, but within 10 minutes he was back asleep for another 1 1/2 hours.   
We didn't go skating at all last year, so I convinced Brett we had to go since we've been having such nice weather too.  I love Gavin's face in the bottom pic; I'd spin him around and he just laugh.  He won't keep mittens on so we put a jacket on underneath with the fold over sleeves.  
 Few weeks ago at Ice on Whyte and riding the street car across the High Level bridge.  (I'm all over finding us free things to do these days.)
The other day while Gavin was watching cartoons, the cartoon guy started fixing a guitar, so Gavin ran into our room and grabbed Brett's guitar (it's his cheap one, so its kind of turned into Gavin's), brought it out to play while he watched.  

You know when everything just feels busier, more difficult and just kind of blah and you can't really even say why.  Thats me right now.  I can't even say I'm super busy....Brett is, so maybe that's why I feel like I am.  Things that I wish were happening aren't.   I think I'm a little too sensitive these days too, but I can't believe what people will say sometimes.  What makes it worse is I pulled my groin, so I'm missing my running relief.  Seriously, running rejuvenates me like no other sport/exercise can.  I'm really having to hold myself back because I hoping it will heal faster than it did last time.  Oh well, I'm done whining.  

On to what I'm excited about, guess who's coming to Edmonton for the 1st time and isn't going anywhere else in Canada....Ben Folds.  We're kind of super fans at our house.  When Brett and I were dating sometimes I wonder if he owned any CD's besides Ben Folds because it was always in his car (He did, he just really likes Ben Folds).  Yep, we're buying our tickets this week for next month.  Since our regular dates consist of meeting for lunch on Fridays and watching SNL Saturday nights, I'm pretty pumped.

  4. ice on whyte, i miss it! look at your skills on the skates. everytime i take the kids skating my feet hurt sooooo bad, you? i wish ours was out in the open with unknowns so i could see if i have any skills left, but i'd be a fool at the raymond rink during public skate! seriously i get ticked when i have to run on the treadmill lately, i don't get the same release as outside and it's been so nice outside here i've been spolied cause usually that's the only option. hope you heal up soon! you'll only be over sensitive for 5 or 6 more months!

  5. I love Gavin's snowsuit - which looks like it's suitable for sub-arctic temperatures. People are totally tools sometimes - I don't know how some can lack "filters" really! Anyway's Ben Fold's will be awesome, he makes me think of you and really Kendall's whole house. ha!

  6. I totally know how you feel about being really busy but not really doing anything. I feel that way all the time. Where does the day go??! I feel exhausted by 9:30 every night (8:30 if I'm being honest) and I never do anything particularly exhausting during the day. Afternoon naps are, therefore, a requirement. :)
