Where do the days go?

Can you believe it, it is already Jan. 17? What happened to the beginning of the year, here and gone. It is Sunday morning, only Zacchaeus and I are up, it is 8:30, he is sitting in his highchair eating breakfast and much to my chagrin...playing with the ipod..but it is an educational game. Ok, so now the ipod is away from him, because he has decided to eat his cereal with both fists, instead of his spoon, whatever works and gets the job done. Zacchaeus is almost 16 months old, finally taking his first steps, albeit not many. He is enjoying the kitty cat, whose name is now Sunshine, in case I didn't mention that before. He has learned to be gentle and has also learned that the kitty cat loves to eat his cereal with him, so now there seems to be a purpose to throwing food over the edge of his tray!

As I sit here typing this, in the quiet of Sunday morning, I am thinking how fast the days go by, and where did the time go. Everyday goes by so quickly before you know it another week has come and gone and month and year. When did Michaela grow up and become a teenager? Just yesterday I came home from a walk at Centennial with the little boys, to find a strange car in my driveway, and it was her friend, with a drivers license and a car! When did that happen? how scary is that.

So the big news is we are most likely going to be able to finally secure a mortgage, and so therefore have spent a few days looking at what is available in Thunder Bay, which, is lots and not lots at the same time. Today we should be both doing homework, but will probably take some time to go and look at houses and see what is out there. we have looked at two so far, one house was down to the studs, an old house with a new addition and not very well done and then they walked away..very scary. Then an old character home, which is in need of an Extreme Makeover and a new location as there is no yard. This could take a while, maybe it will be the focus of my blog, most likely not!

Then at the same time as we live in our safe and stable environment here, even without a full time job we live well...how can you not stop and think about the people in Haiti who have lost family, homes and everything! Watching news casts last night was very disturbing, to see babies the same age as Zacchaeus suffering, without anyone to hug and kiss them, with no food and hardly any water, what will come of these babies? It takes me back to the day I had Zacchaeus and the doctor asked me if I was sure I wanted the tubal ligation, and I told him " there are babies in Africa to adopt should I want another one", Now there are babies in Haiti in need of homes and families. The devestation is hug and makes one ponder, how will they ever recover, but they do, humans are remarkable beings.

As I finish this post, I welcome the follower, who ever you are, to my disconnected world and hope youfind some enjoyment in reading.
Until the next time!
