It's been a long few weeks
Since being back times have been...ummm busy I guess. A lot has been happening and we find ourselves dealing with unexpected, outside "things".
The site was a total screw up until recently. No one's fault really. And then once its fixed who the hell has time to sit here and write anything? Not me.
Family have been wanting their pictures. I, myself would like to get our pictures done as well. Kadin is turning two next week. Hasan's parents are coming in 13 days. I have started babysitting the little girl downstairs - Olivia. Money is tight. (yes imagine that.... even after our SMALL wedding money is tight)
The last few weeks have been tiring, frustrating, annoying, disappointing and did I mention tiring? A lot of it is so very tiring.
Anyways I digress....
Kadin and Olivia have been doing well together. She doesnt really like to be touched and Kadin is very touchy feely but they are working it out. She is a very quiet, passive child; whereas Kadin is crazy, flighty and somewhat agressive. I am trying not to get involved too much in their disputes and let them figure it out themselves. Works great. :)
We are also now beginning the stages of potty training. Bringing up the peeing in the toilet like Abu and making it very new and exciting. So far Kadin is OK with it. Even once he attempted the peeing in the toilet - I won't give all the details...of course. He is waking with a clean diaper sometimes and I know that its a sign he is ready. Right now we are waiting to get into the big city to get a potty and a stool for him.
As mentioned before, Kadin will be two in less then 2 weeks. He only has a few little friends around so we thought for him we would take him to playland. Its the fair grounds right in Vancouver. Lots of rides and cool stuff there. Plus they have the PNE right now which includes more activities like the SuperDogs and parades. Kadin will like spending the day there I am sure. And Olivia is coming with us as well.
That same day we have to go shopping for his actual presents. I have to get him our present (a tricycle) and mom's and dad's present as well. An easel. And as mentioned above we also have to get the stool and potty. So it again will be a busy and tiring day.
Gosh do I sound like I'm complaining? Im not. It makes the days go faster and I like that. I mean somethings I could complain about but hey ya gotta know your place I guess.
We have another 400 pictures or so of our trip that we have put on the computer but I have yet to find time and the desire really to rename them, resize them, save them 10 times in different locations, write witty posts about them and upload them to the site. Too busy and only like 3 people read this site and Im pretty sure most of those people have their own pictures of the same situations.
As said before Hasan's parents are coming for a visit in about 13 days. Kadin and I are so excited. We really can't wait to meet them and get to know them. Its been a long two years and now everything is in place. I have so much to do before they get here. Everything from Kadin'a hair cut to cleaning to getting a new vehicle. So much.....but in the end the visit will make it all worth it.
Kadin has made some changes as well. He now puts words together in a more sentence like structure. For examply "No mommy too high", "No mommy no eat", "No mommy no bebe", "No mommy no". Hmmm do you see a pattern? Did I mention he is turning two next week? :)
Anyways I can't do a post with no pictures so here are a few I did all that stuff with and managed to get up before falling asleep on the keyboard.
PS - The title of the post below seemed OK when first written. However when I read it a few days later I read it differently. I hated having my site down and I blamed the internet. I was angry. I lashed out. I did not hate my wedding as the title might suggest to some. I loved my wedding, lots of people did. Let's be clear I did not hate my wedding. I hated the internet. *I* loved my wedding..... thank you.
Cute one of mom and Kadin on the balcony.
Uhhhh...and one of dad and Kadin.
Hasan and I saw this cariboo outside Trepassey. It was really far away but it looked up as soon as we stopped.
A tourist took this picture for us. Cute eh? The scenery is amazing. As we walked up the hill a guy was playing the bagpipes. It was so cool.
Hasan and I in Goobies.
Hasan made me take this picture. It was his idea. Im sorry. Its kinda funny though right?
Kadin is so cute. You should see and hear how smart he is. I just know he is a genius...a genius I said!!!!
Kadin was very....VERY tired here...
My aunt Wanda taught Kadin this trick. It worked well actually...it got him to eat and thats all we wanted.
This is my aunt Wanda and uncle Perry's dog - Shelby. She is a pure bred Gordon Setter. Here you can see how tall she is...same as Kadin.
Yes...there is a lighthouse behind me!!! This is Cape Pine Lighthouse in St. Shott's, Newfoundland.
I wanted to put up more pics but Im way too tired. Enjoy.
