A Change of Seasons

September has been a busy month for the our little family. Adam is doing his internship in an elementary school, he is really enjoying being in the classroom working with kids, but it has been a lot of work and his planning takes up a lot of his time at home. I am back in classes and loving it! I am in two studio classes, a 3D and a 2D class (I am loving having the oppurtunity to be doing art on a regular basis agian), a visual art education class, and a philosophy class. Jack is going to daycare at a woman's home who lives about ten seconds from out front door. He is doing so so well at daycare and Ashley, the babysitter, has told us that Jack is a perfect baby, and she would be sooo happy if all her kids were as good as him! This makes Adam and I very proud of our little gaffer and only confirm that we indeed have a perfect baby.

Jack and I, with Jamie and Edward, surprised my parents in Eastend one weekend. Jack and Papa Dean had an adventerous weekend with lots of playing outside, dancing, and overeating.

We also had Edward's baptism in Battleford this month. Although it was the end of September it was an absolutetly gorgeous weekend. Lots of family came down to celebrate with baby Edward. He did so well at the Baptism, wide awake, alert, and in a great mood! Jack was holding his hand at one point during mass, but then started slapping him on the top of his head so that was the end of that. Jack loves Edward and always tries to play with him, sometimes too roughly. Jack likes to try to put his fingers in his mouth and poke his eyes. I tell Jack that soon Edward will poke him in the eye right back because Edward is getting big fast! Jack and Edward could probably wear the same shirts (might be a little big an Teddy but not too much).

Jack now has four teeth, his front top two, and front bottom two. It's so cute when he takes a bite of something and there are tiny bite marks in it.

This month has been a little rough for Jackie. He has an inner ear infection and is on his last leg of his anti biotics. I had to take him into emercengy when we were in Battleford because he was feverish and crying from the pain all night. Turns out his ear was so gunky with wax and tried puss the doctor couldnt even see inside. But the medicine has cleared up his ear and he isn't feverish or in pain anymore!
