Hello, I took a bit of a blogging vacation, and it was great but it is good to be back. Summer was busy for us, but when I say busy I most mean busy spending time with my two sweet boys. I think we tried to take advantage of having Haig home as much as we could. He worked his butt off this summer and now that continues into the fall as he is working over 35 hours a week and taking 4 courses at UPEI. He is so committed and dedicated to his work, schooling and family and I am very grateful for him and everything he provides for our little family. We have been doing well for the most part. I like to stay home with baby and cuddle, watch shows, have snacks and play with toys. When we get out we like to go shopping and visit friends. I was able to go out tonight with some of my girlfriends from high school, Casey, Amanda and Chelsey. It was so nice to catch up with them and I hope we will be able to get together more often. We went to the Happy Potter Studio in Statford. It was nice environment to relax in other than my own home. Haig will be getting home from work soon and it will be nice to see him and talk to him about his day. I am thankful for my mom being able to watch baby Haig while I was out tonight. My baby was pretty happy when I came home though. He is a little momma's boy. We have been attempting some sleep training techniques the last week or so. Self-soothing is not going so well. Last night he cried a lot and he can stand up in his crib (we need to lower it really soon) and he knows how to cry out "momma" and it breaks my heart when I hear him say it as he cries. I don't mind that he still gets up during the night to nurse, it would be nice if he didn't but I really wish he could put himself to sleep on his own without a bottle or without bum pats. I am sure he will get there. I cannot believe he will be 9 months old tomorrow. He is such a wonderful boy. We thank our Heavenly Father for Haig Arthur in our prayers every day. He is a joy in our life.
In some other news, I was released from my calling in Young Womens' and I am serving in Relief Society again. I mentioned that Haig is in school, and this semester he is studying accounting, personal sales, management skills and business statistics. My sister-in-law Rachel became a Pampered Chef consultant so I helped her out by throwing an online Facebook event party. It did so well I was really surprised and impressed. I ended up making about $90 credit as a host and I purchased a pizza stone, baking pan, can opener, pastry blender and a glass bowl set with silicone lids. Unfortunately, I have to exchange the pizza stone and baking pan for smaller sizes because our oven is too small for the ones I ordered. When I make the exchange I will have some credit left over to get one more thing and I am trying to decide what I will get. I have been diligent with my meal planning and prep now that summer is over and Haig is back to school. I think I forgot how much I dislike cooking in the summer time. Bring on all the fall soups and oven recipes. Haig and I have been watching lots on Netflix this summer. We enjoyed Marvels' Defenders, The Mist, Atypical and we just started The Good Place. I also watched The Amazing Race Canada this summer and I just started This is Us for the second time in preparation to watch season 2 next week. My baby and I have a fun weekend planned of swimming with friends and going to the annual corn boil, but sadly Haig is working all weekend and won't be able to join us. We will just have to look forward to our family weekend away later in October.
