Funny Boy

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, we've been looking for a place to live and packing and so on and so forth. Oh the joys of moving... Ian is getting so big, he just won't slow down. His new record is 21 steps! He is going into a phase I am not liking very much though. He has learned to throw tantrums! He's not even one and throws tantrums!! I need to find new patience everyday and have no idea what course of discipline to take at such a young age... I'm little stressed with all the things going on, but God is providing and guiding us into this new place in life. Anyhow, I wanted to share this funny picture of Ian I took the other day. He was trying to get to some toys in a box, and fell in and then thought it was funny.

Video of Ian Taking Steps

I finally caught Ian taking more than 2 steps on camera! Thought I would share it. Enjoy!

Lots of News (and Happy New Year)

Okay, so there is a lot of good news this past few days and a little bad news. The first good news is Victor got the job he applied for. Some bad news is we went to look at the apartments that we might live at on his new property, and they were pretty cruddy. Although the property has a pool, a new playground and updated exteriors, the inside was completely outdated(they didn't even have base boards) and a decent amount smaller than what we have now. So, we got really disappointed and a little discouraged. We're looking for renting an affordable duplex possibly, but are praying we get put in the right place.

More good news, I totally forgot to tell everyone that Ian took his first 4 steps on Christmas and he took 6 steps the next day for Victor! Then, just last night he took 8 steps and this afternoon he took 11!! I am so excited and scared. He's going to be running before I know it. Victor and I both think he'll be walking fairly stable by his 1st Birthday in three weeks.

Please pray that God shows us the path to take in these next few weeks and for protection wherever our future is headed!

Favorite Winter Picture

This is my favorite picture from winter this year. It was taken at Victor's parents on there patio when all the snow hit. Ian didn't really want to touch the snow at all, but he liked looking at it.

Job Update

Victor went in for his interview this morning and said it went good. He said they should contact him in a day or two to let him know if he has the job or not. Thanks for your prayers.

Christmas 2008

Wishing everyone a late Merry Christmas! I hope you all enjoyed the holiday and it was fairly relaxing. Okay, well I know it probably wasn't too relaxing, but at least entertaining and eventful!

We started our Christmas on Christmas Eve over at Victor's parents. We ate a yummy Christmas dinner with ham and roast! Then we opened gifts or should I say Ian opened gifts ha ha. Ian got spoiled rotten as usual! I decided I would let Victor open his Christmas gift that night. (Even though we said our trip to Whistler was our gift to each other I had already bought him an expensive gift) When he opened it, he didn't really believe I got him a camera! He thought I put a different gift in a camera box. He absolutely loved/loves it. (I got him a Nikon D80) Well, he also surprised me and went out and got me some gifts as well. (socks, gift cert., clothes, a blanket, slippers!) We ordered both of the Grandma's photo books and made both of them cry when they opened them. Vic and Doris both gave Victor and I $100!! After presents, we put Ian down to bed and played some poker! It was a great night, we only wish the roads weren't still so snowy so great Grandpa could have made it.

The next morning we woke up and let Ian open the couple gifts we got him. (soccer ball, pj's and socks) To really embarrass him when he gets older we put him in a Santa suit!! It's horrible I know, but Grandma Danielson bought it for him and I thought it was too funny. Then, we headed over to my parents for a second round of spoiling for Ian. My mom got Victor and I a whole new set of dishes and a very needed set of new towels. After presents, Victor and I went to go pick up my girlfriend Kelley and Ian's girlfriend Gabi, to spend Christmas dinner with us. It was so much fun having the both of them there! All together, we had a wonderful Christmas! Here are probably way too many photos of our Christmas fun. Not to mention it was Ian's 1st Christmas!

Prayer Requests...

Hey Everyone,

I have two prayer requests. The first, is for my Grandma, apparently she fell yesterday and she might have broken her hip. She's in a lot of pain and I just pray that the Lord heals her completely. The second, is for my wonderful Husband Victor, he is going in for a second interview for a job tomorrow and we are praying He gets it and that this is where the Lord wants him to be. Thanks so much! I'm going to post some Christmas pictures and stuff shortly!
