The Crazy Month of May

It has been so long since I posted, with good reason. I can't remember a crazier, busier, more stressful month with so many fun things packed into it. We are finally into our new place in Edmonton with all our stuff here safe and sound, which is a huge relief and also adds tons more stress with all the unpacking and organizing to do. Unfortunately all this responsibility of unpacking is up to Gibb right now because I am supposed to be on bed rest. I had a doctor's appointment on Monday and I guess this crazy month has finally caught up to me and the baby. I'm already dilated and having contractions and so the doctor wants me resting so this baby won't come for at least another week, hopefully longer.

Poor Gibb has been doing everything including listening to me complain about how frustrating it is to have to sit there and not unpack any boxes. He's probably thinking, I'd love to be the one sitting there and not unpacking! Gibb's family has been so awesome and helpful and I don't know what we would have done without them this week! So much for my plan to have every single box unpacked and decoration up before the baby comes, I'll be happy just to have our clothes unpacked now!

I guess one good thing about all this is that I might actually have a chance to catch up on blogging! I don't have any pictures on our computer yet, but when I do I'll have lost to post them from: the senior dinner, girl's night out, good-byes to friends, Mona's wedding in NYC, Gibb's graduation, visiting family in London, Samantha's baptism and maybe more...

Sneaky Bandit

WARNING, ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE PHOTOS DEPICTED HERE. ANYONE WITH A LOVE FOR MANGY RABID ANIMALS SHOULD READ NO FURTHER.
We had a home inspection and the inspector checked every square inch of the house including the chimney. As the unsuspecting inspector peered up into the darkness of the very seldom used chimney, he suddenly noticed 2 glowing yellow eyes staring back at him through the darkness! I heard a yell and footsteps running out of the room. He came to me and said, "there's something living in your chimney!" Well I quickly called the critter control and a very brave man came by. He climbed up onto the roof and asked me to light a small fire. Well I didn't want to fool around so I lit all the spare newspaper we had left. The intruder didn't like that at all and scampered up and out of the chimney, narrowly missing the noose waiting at the opening. The raccoon was cornered at the edge of the roof contemplating his odds of surviving the 2 story drop when suddenly the stealthy professional noosed him. He hissed with anger and thrashed to no avail. Soon he would be on his way back to the wild frontier or the gas chamber (I didn't really ask).

Life according to Jayna

Whenever we ask Jayna what her name is she says: Me!
She can say her name, she says it "Naynee", but not when we ask her to.

Whenever we ask Jayna how old she is she holds up one finger but says: Two!

Whenever we ask Jayna what a cow says she says: Booo!
Today I asked her what a ghost says if a cow says boo and the first time she said "Moo!". I have no idea how she came up with that. Then after that she just kept saying "Booo"!

This is Jayna trying to make a frowny face like Gibb. She could only barely hold it for a couple seconds and then she would burst out laughing.
