hi:) a few more picts. ian is doing well. the only problem, and the continued problem is sleep, but that is nothing new for our household. both kids. but otherwise ian is doing great! getting around. he misses walking, cause he moved way faster - but he's crawling, scooting, hobbling around tables and couches...he gets checked by the surgeon october 10th. hopefully the cast will come off then. we've had such gorgeous weather - loving it! keira sees her sleep doctor at the stollery again this week. to date they haven't been able to help at all, after all their testing, but we'll followup :) super nice doctor. today was hannah's 5th bday! last weekend we took the kids acrossed the ferry and did some trails in the sandhills...had a picnic...it was gorgeous! angie and wally came over last night (saturday) and ang took some picts and then the 4 of us went out for a yummy supper at bp's in westlock. lots of fun:) ian has a child development coordinator that comes monthly from aspen health. that was this past week, and they're noticing some development so that's great! i'm not just dreaming it! tonight he was such a parrot at the supper table - it was so much fun:) keira is doing well. when ian had his surgery she slept at aunty kerry's and uncle matt's...she's missed levi. they came over on friday, and levi and keira wanted to have another sleepover but we said no. :) we considered music lessons for her, but things are just too busy. michelle werkman (from carl) is doing a bi-weekly preschool since her youngest is keira's age so that should be fun. and keira and levi start swimming lessons again soon, so that will be enough:) getting way to grown up!!! keira and ian love looking at family picts on the walls, and pointing at uncles and aunts. ian's favorites are the grandpa's and grandma's and for some reason ;) uncle drew, aunty julie and uncle paul. maybe it's just cause he can say their names, i don't know;) keira knows mostly everyone. anyways, hope this finds everyone doing well! kev and i are doing good. love and hi to everyone:)
