Kellen's wiggling feet kept him entertained for almost an hour. It seemed to confuse him that the bear faces would move when he wiggled. At first it would seem to scare him and he'd get real still and watch the faces, waiting for them to move again. Hee, hee! It was mostly fun for me to watch his expressive eyes.
We've had a busy week here. Ian and I started basement renovations. Getting rid of the 70s red electric fireplace, gold patterned lino, red Hawaiian curtians, 4 different kinds of paneling (which seemed to be put up randomly). I don't know how Ian does it, getting up at 5:30 for work and staying up past midnight all week painting and putting in flooring. I had to take a couple naps this week. Ian often gets obsessed with projects, I'm glad this time its the project that I wanted done. Now the baseboards and my much anticipated desk/work station/wall unit (design still to be determined) are all the remain. I'll post pics when its all finished.
Kathy came to visit Tues and Wed. Thanks to her, the painting got done much faster. Much to my embarassment and Ian's delight. Next time I promise no work, Kathy. Please visit again! She also helped with Kellen while I cooked at the Community Outreach. It was suppose to be a cooking class, but lots of stuff/crisis was going on. She also encouraged/forced me to really run again. We are putting a team together to run a marathon as a relay in the fall. I have been taking it easy when I go for a run, and walk whenever I feel like it...with the excuse that I'm still getting in shape since the baby. Well, he is 4 months old now. Kathy said she enjoyed the payback after the runs I used to drag her on.
Anyhow, there's a little update.

I really like this picture cause it shows how beautiful it is where we live. Mom met up with us at Mosaic and ended up coming out to the Fort for the night since her van broke down. Not nice, but a blessing that she came for a visit. I thought I'd go out for a walk/run with Kellen this morning and enjoy more of this beautiful scenery but we had a visit from a very expectant mother and her 3 yr old. She came to look at the sling and we made plans to go to the beach soon! Anyhow, Kellen fell asleep before we got out and I thought I'd check email and do some weeding instead. Here I am an hour later after looking at too many blogs. Fun though because I found some new ones.
I'm sure these are only the beginning of the pictures that these boys will have together. Hopefully not too many of them getting into trouble, but lots of them having fun. I have great memories of times with cousins and am glad Kellen will also.
Nolan kept wanting to brush Kellen's hair...not that there are many hairs that need to be put in their place!
This was Kellen's second experience with a pool, but first time I actually put him in the water! I visited a friend also on mat leave, who lives on the lake. It was so beautiful, but not as warm as I thought once we put them in the pool. I think the swimming lastest 5 minutes!
We were at Michael's delcious birthday supper (which he cooked himself) on Saturday. It was nice to have Grandpa Cecil there. I love this picture of him with Kellen. So nice to know that Kellen will know how much he was loved by his Great-Grandpa. I hope Kellen will have some memories of Grandpa Cecil himself. And, I'm sure Kellen's dad will tell plently of stories so that Kellen will know what a special Great-Grandpa he has!
Challenging the Otter Rapids was exhilerating!
Couldn't resist posting this one. Michael Muller trying to take down Oscar, Kyle's dog. I'll let you judge his success...
