Life The Last Few Months

Well, this poor little blog has been sorely neglected lately, and the only excuse I have is that life has been busy! Since my last post we have:

- welcomed a new baby boy into the family, Atlee Macgreggor
- given Cohen his second ever haircut (I had a really hard time parting with his adorable little curls!)
- planted a garden
- ripped out our old deck that was the eyesore of our backyard
- put a new railing on the deck on the front of the house, although I still need to finish staining it
- thrown a 6th birthday party for our oldest son, Xavier
- celebrated Xavier finishing Kindergarten and graduating to Grade one
- visited Winnipeg to see my hubby's family numerous times, including one last final supper with my sister in law and her hubby before they left for South Korea this weekend (read her blog and their adventures here)
- had a dedication ceremony at our church for Atlee
- travelled three hours southwest to my sister's house to celebrate my nephew's birthdays and a baby dedication for their little girl (who is three weeks older than Atlee)
- had a family reunion with my mom's brothers and sisters and their families
- baked 150 cupcakes for a wedding
- gone back to school shopping

And, in the midst of all that, we've been trying to keep up with all the laundry and housework that goes along with having four children! It's hectic and chaotic at times, but we love it! :)
