Bug Parts

In the past few years, I kind of wanted to get a tattoo which would symbolize two huge things my life; my mom and being a mom. I wanted to get a symbol of motherhood. I have found out though that Gary is really not into tattoos and it's not that I really wanted one, I just want some way to always remember my mom. I have a ring that she gave me and maybe that will just be it. Anyway, I decided to get this necklace made (off of etsy.com) and it came today. I think it's cute.

We went bowling last night with our care group and I have to say 2 things:
1. I've never gotten so many strikes and spares
2. I pulled some muscles and I felt more sore today than I did after a 5km run:)
(Kai asked if we could go outside so I could take pictures of him)
Koen and Kai are doing good and we've been back into our routine now that Gary is back at school. Kai is loving learning. Yesterday he learned the three parts of the bug and can say and point them out on his toy bug; head, thorax and abdomen. I have a cute video of it but the format can't be uploaded and I don't have the time to figure it out right now. Today he was learning about the largest bone (femur) and strongest muscle (tongue) in the body. I love it.
(I think he looks alot like his Chapman cousin, Jayden, in this picture)
I went to see if I could find any clothes tonight and ended up coming home with a food processor. We've thought about getting one for a long time and I found a Kitchen Aid one at Superstore $60 off so I got it. I hope we use it!!!
This kid just loves the bjorn with a soother. After 45 minutes today, I took him out and laid him on my lap with his soother in and then I read for an hour (Kai was napping). This may have to be what we do for a few more months. I weighed Koen today...16lbs. Big boy. Started getting all the 6-12 month clothes out.
And finally...FOOTBALL PRACTICE TOMORROW AND THEN OUR FIRST GAME ON SATURDAY. SO NERVOUS. SO EXCITED. LOVE IT. Kai can't wait to come to a game. Bon nuit!

  1. love the necklace (and love etsy too!) I went bowling a few weeks back and was embarassed about how sore I was the next day. I thought I was in relatively good shape but apparently there are muscles used in bowling that aren't used in other activities cause I was SORE. You are not alone! :)
