Bad bad blogger!

Well, it has been far too long since I posted last. So much has gone on!

Ben went to his Granny and Grampa's on the Island again the weekend of the 27th. I gotta say it was really nice having a break. We sure needed it.. He had a great time there and was lots of fun, kept them busy the whole time! He got to go have lunch at his GG's house (Ben is her 7th Great Grandchild!), see his friend Dominic and go to a kids art show! He is even going to be in the local paper!



Our snow is gone (yay!) and we are having great fun taking Ben out for walks with the dogs at the river. Here are some pictures of him bundled up in his snow suit, laughing and checking out the birds in the trees. He is a GREAT walker (or should I say runner!) now.




We have other big news! We are house hunting for our first home! And tomorrow we are going to go look at one in Maple Ridge! I am pretty excited. I know all of us are looking forward to a fresh start and something that is all OURS! The real estate market is tough right now, but I know something will come up that is just perfect for us.

Ben is changing so much everyday. He is talking a bit more in his own little jibber-jabber language, but seems to be understanding and comprehending more. We can ask him where the fish are and he points to the aquarium! When the phone rings now he goes to where the phone is. He can recognize, point out and say dog and cat. Yesterday on our walk at the river he was just mesmerized by airplanes in the sky! We spotted about 4 or 5 and he was amazed!

Some bad news is that we had to get rid our orange cat Basil. He didn't stop peeing in the dog crate after all of our tries (taking him to the vet, getting tests done and putting him on anti-anxiety drugs) so we gave him back to them (where we adopted him and Zero 6 years ago) and they are going to try to figure him out and get him a new home. I really hope that he does get a new home soon. The house here was too stressful for him with my dad's dog Ella but I know we did a good thing. We miss you Basil!!

I will end this post with an angelic pic of Ben sleeping.. such a cute little button.

Good luck C & M finding a new place to live in is very exciting, stressful, but very exciting. Can't wait until we hear good news from you on that score too! MomA xx
