Skating and Dancing! Lots of fun things going on these days. A couple videos of the kids skating and dancing below. I still need to do a post about Connor's birthday party and catch up on our Texas trip and Christmas. Whew!
The kids were dancing this morning and it was really cute. Connor put on Madalyn's Hannah Montana boots all by himself and started dancing around the kitchen. He is such a funny boy. He is doing this really cute thing where as soon as he gets up (really through out the whole day) he asks "Where's Sissy?" and I'll say "Downstairs" and he will say "Oh". Then he will ask about Daddy or me if it's Daddy there. It is so cute in real life but I wanted to record it here so I don't forget.
I have a cute Madalyn story too. Earlier in the day Malcolm was caling Connor and he wasn't listening so Malcolm pulled out using the middle name trick and said "Connor Michael!". This got Madalyn asking about middle names and why his middle name is Micheal and what Malcolm's middle name is and so on. Later that evening Malcolm does something that she is getting on to him for and she says, "Daddy John!". So funny!
It won't let me post any pictures so I will have to do that later.

Texas Trip - Day One - Abilene
Madalyn posing in front of the hospital where she was born in Abilene, Texas
The three of us in front of the hospital. I can't believe that she is already six!
Me Madalyn, Mom and Jen - This was our stop at the group home where we worked for two and half years while Malcolm went to school. So great to see all of them again!
Jen and Madalyn were great friends when we lived at the home. Madalyn was two and dragged Jen wherever she wanted to go in the house and Jen would follow and play.
Malcolm with Greg and Sam - two of our guys.
In front of the house that used to be our home.
Malcolm with Karen a lady from one of the other homes we would do relief at before we were full time house parents
Malcolm with Kyle and Chance from one of the other houses. We went to visit all of them where they work on campus.

Some Videos
Some videos that I took over the Christmas holidays that I thought were pretty cute! I am going to try and catch up on some blog posts from the Fall and Christmas time. I am going to try and do better this year on keeping up with this thing. Happy 2010 so far!
Malcolm and I just went on an overnight date and it was so much fun and relaxing. We went to a Bed and Breakfast right here in Calgary and it was so nice. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to get away for a night but not have to travel anywhere. It is in the Northwest and it very reasonable. We had a nice room with a hot tub on a deck right outside our room. We went to the movie and then had a great dinner at The Keg. Malcolm surprised me the next morning with a massage too. The lady who runs the B&B is a massage therapist and gives great massages. So fun but hard to come back to the real world the next day. I just wanted to record it here so That I don't forget the time we had together.
I am going to get working on my catch up posts and have them up in the next few days. I know only my Mom and sister probably still read this but I really want to document our life on here because I have found that I don't remember very well on my own.
