A new cousin!

Kyle's sister Jen had the sixth Fisk grandchild on Mar 5th after a much easier and more relaxed delivery then her first. Colm Michael is cute and so peaceful! We all went over to their house on Wed to celebrate and meet the little guy. While there we took the opportunity to get a pic of all 6 cousins together! What a riot!

9 mo check up

Sorry it has been so long since I updated. Dean has been sick with a cold for the last week so there hasn't been much to report. It looks like Kyle will be getting the job in Denver and will commute for awhile until it's more financially feasible for us to move. Other then being sick, Dean has been doing well. He loves to play and make noise with his toys. He's figured out that most of them make noise when shook or banged together. He also loves tearing apart his bed after naps. We've found the bumper undone a number of times now. Dean did have his 9 mo check up on Mon. (a little early for insurance purposes) and weighed 21 lbs 12 ozs (75%) and was 29 in long(75%). His head is still big at 47 cm (90%)! Mom decided that he was long over due for his big boy car seat and went out and got it that day. I think he likes sitting up more and seeing the world, but misses his shade that he could pull down when he wanted to block out the world.

Valentine's Day.

We had a very low key, but oh so fun Valentine's day. Due to the constraints of our finances at the present we had to forego our usual trip to the Melting Pot or MacKensie's or the like. Instead, Kyle made us a delicious steak dinner at home and bought me the Settlers of Catan card game (which is for two players). We had a blast playing it all night. FYI to Erin and Liz, Kyle also got me the Settlers expansion set so now we can all play and keep our marriages intact! :) All in all it was a great day. And to my sister who thinks that Valentines is too commercialized...all I have to say is it doesn't have to be. Kyle knows I don't really care for a box of chocolates, but have been craving chocolate mousse for over a year now, so he made me chocolate mousse with rasberries and whipped cream. Valentines is a day we set aside to celebrate love in all it's forms. How you celebrate it is up to and reflective of you. Even if you don't have a romantic love interest you can take time to reflect on the love of family, friends, and most especially God. We as Christians should be the biggest proponent of any day that celebrates love as Jesus said that is how the world would know that we are followers of Christ- by our love.
