Brenden's first live show

Once again, I've been way to relaxed, or what I meant was, I've been way to busy. Again, sorry for my slowness in getting a post up.

We as a family have been going through a lot lately. A few weeks ago, we bought a new house, well it's 10 years old, in North Whitby. We move in at the end of July. Currently we are in the process of selling our current house. We have been in and out of the house like crazy. Sometimes we aren't even able to get into our house until 8:30pm at night because of agents showing our home. We actually had 1 showing today and already we have 2 scheduled tomorrow. Our house has been on the market for 2 weeks now and we are still awaiting our first offer. We've already had 2 open houses the past 2 Saturday's as well. Lot's of interest, but no offers yet. We are patiently waiting. We've already dropped our price once. We still have time though, so no worries.

Daycare for Brenden has been going very good. He enjoys it there. He doesn't mind being dropped off in the morning and he's extremly happy when mom picks him up. On top of crawling, he has also learned to sit on his Winnie the Pooh car and push his feet to move him around. He can go forward and reverse.

Today Brenden went to see his very first show. Michelle, myself, Brenden and a friend, Don, went to see a show called Cirque Niagara's Avaia which was playing at the Woodbine Racetrack in a seperate tent. The show was awesome. Brenden was very, very good there. He was quite amusing. Everytime the crowd clapped for the performers, Brenden would clap too. Almost as if he knew why he was clapping. He loved the horses and some of the acrobatic performances. He managed to stay awake for the whole 2hr show. He did fall asleep on the ride home though.

Brenden got the day off on Friday since he wasn't feeling that well. He had another round of needles from the Dr. and he had a fever for the most part of the day. Both him and Michelle stayed home as she wasn't feeling well either.

Well, that's it for now, and hopefully next time I post I can tell you we sold our house. Of course, if I wait another month to post, then that will be true for sure. Haha.

And he's off!

Well, Brenden has officially started to crawl! He is finally on the move. Although it's taken him some time, he's almost mastered the skill in a week. Now we really need to watch him. And walking? Well he's very close to doing that as well. He has to hold on to your fingers right now, but he understands that he has to do 1 foot at a time. I would think in another month or so, he may be on his feet.

Well, unrelated to Brenden, we would like to announce that Michelle, Brenden and I have purchased a new home in Whitby. It's near Brock Rd and Taunton Rd for those that know the area. We don't move until July 27, however. That will give us the time we need to sell our current home. If you know anyone interested in moving to South Ajax, near the lake, let me know. With this said, our house is officially on the market as well. The showings start Monday, May 7 at 10:30am. There are already 2 showings lined up on the first day. Our house as of this evening, is SPOTLESS and EMPTY looking. The last time I saw it look like this, we were just about to move in. It's almost surreal to see our own home in this state. There are area's of floor, I haven't seen since we moved in 6 years ago.

Well, off to bed. Michelle starts new hours tomorrow, from 7am to 3pm. I have to do the morning Brenden things. Wake him, change him, dress him, feed him, and get him ready for Daycare. And to top it off, I need to keep the house looking spotless as it does now. That'll be tough for a little while, until we sell. Once it's sold, then we can go back to our normal lives of living.

Have a good one! And by the way, Brenden's next meal will be SPICY CHICKEN WINGS! Haha. Just kidding, it'll be awhile before he gets into the Chicken Wings and Beer.
