I wish I had a lot of fun interesting things to write about, but I don't. When I try and think of things that have happened in my life over the past few weeks, I can't think of anything.
I've started going to the gym again, which has been so nice. It was surprising how out of shape I was! It's felt good to push myself and to sweat. It's also nice to be able to do normal things with my body too. The PGP is finally wearing off!
Sloan is turning into a hefty lump of cuteness. He smile's a lot and shows his cute little dimple. And he coos. I love it when babies start making little noises. It's so cute. Adriel loves talking to him and he always uses this really high voice.
On Saturday Kyle and I went to fabricland to pick out some material to cover our kitchen chairs with. We had a hard time agreeing on things. I wanted fun patterns and different things. Kyle kept picking out boring stuff. Like solid tan or thick, lumpy, brown cordouroy . Definitely not. We finally agreed on this bright orange plaid stuff. It looks pretty good. Kyle did it all himself. He's a handy guy.
Adriel just climbed onto my lap. I only make it so long sitting at the computer until he starts invading my space and climbing all over me, the
chair and pushing buttons. argh. It's pretty
annoying when one is trying to type.Last week I did Carla's wedding hair. This is how it turned out. I'm not sure if it's really what she wanted. It took a really long time because she has so much hair. I had her back 15 minutes before her wedding was supposed to start. I comforted myself by reassuring myself that they won't start the wedding without the bride. Also, no one paid me. I talked price with Sister Slobodan, but I'm not sure who was supposed to pay me, and now I'm too shy and embarrassed to ask anyone about it.
Anyways I feel like this is the most boring post I've ever written.

A quick word fer y'all Well it's morning. I had to get up today with Adriel because Kyle went to go work with Chris at 6:30. I put Sloan in his swing while I got Adriel and me some breakfast and washed the dishes from last night. About five minutes later he started fussing. I asked Adriel to go push the swing. He likes doing things like that for Sloan. The fussing went on and off and when I came into the living room his little body was slumped cutely and he was asleep like a little pea in a pod.
Maybe I'll actually leave the house and get some things done today? The day is young and I'm feeling ambitious. Should I actually try and run some errands with both kids and no other adult? Scary.
Yesterday night I was invited to a "girls night" by Aimee who was having it at Ann's. I thought it was a little peculiar that she was having it at Ann's but then I thought well maybe she just wanted to get out of her house and away from kids or something. Turns out she was having it at Ann's because it was a surprise shower for me. Luckily it was a little gathering with Esther, Leah, Katie, Rachel and Melissa, because I hate being the centre of attention at things like that. Really I didnt feel I deserved a shower because I got two with Adriel -one in Nanaimo and one in Qualicum- and I had another boy. So that was nice. I got some really cute things, and also some practical things. It was nice to be in a relaxed setting and visit and have some girl time. Aimee did a chocolate fondue and chocolate cupcakes with cherry pie filling in the centre, and there were other yummy things.
Adriel just interrupted me so that I could take him to go pee. Then while he was on the toilet he looked at me and said in a very serious voice "Poop too" while breathing heavily. I'm sorry I just think it's funny.
Aimee and Ann decided my new theme for Sloan's room is sort of like safari baby animals-ish. Aimee gave me the crib bedding that she made for Nolan's room and Ann gave me a big stuffed giraffe. I was sort of caught off guard because Aimee offered me the bedding but I said I wanted to see it first, you know not making any firm committment or anything. Also, I was kind of looking forward to deciding on the theme and picking out the fabric for her to make me my own custom bedding
set, which she offered to do. Only thing is, there are so many cute things out there, that I haven't decided. So they decided for me apparently. It was also the theme of the shower, because when Aimee does a party there's always a theme. It is cute though. I guess I can do baby animals, right?
Sunday was Sloan's blessing day, and it was a really nice special day for us. Sloan was cute and good while he was blessed and Kyle was inspired to say some really nice things about his life. We took a hurried
picture 
after church, which I don't really like of myself but ohwell. I didn't look so great that day anyway. I looked like I got up too early and was tired, which was true. The other is Sloan in his swing before church all ready to be blessed.
