It has been a long time since I have posted on here. I have thought about it lots but that doesn't work just by thinking about it. So will go clear back to June of 2014. Kelly and the rest of his family except for Elaine and I went to Heather's wedding in Haiti. Both Elaine and I where having babies so we stayed home. I painted the outside of our house while Kelly was gone. I had some different friends over to help. I had it all done by the time Kelly got home. Nothing stands out to much for the month of July. The end of July first of August we where in the field doing silage. I spent a few days driving swather. Lorne and Elaine had a baby boy August 2nd. They named him Rylan George.  We did go to Edmonton for a little vacation one weekend. The middle of August our friends from here Errol and Emily had a baby boy they named Jamin Bryce. September was spent in the fields doing harvest. I was told that I had Gestational Diabetes. I then had lots of Doctors appointments and classes to take to learn how to take care of myself.  October and that means baby is coming soon. Do to my GD I was going to be induced on my due date October 28 unless baby came sooner. I was having non stress tests to make sure everything was ok. I tried lots of things to have my baby sooner but of course nothing worked. October 28 came and in to the hospital I went not sure how I would handle an induction.  We had to be at the hospital by 8. We dropped Heidi off @ Tony's. She was gonna stay there for a few days. Induction went a lot better than I thought. I was able to leave the hospital for a few hours. I think they started me @ 9:30 and by 6:27 our baby boy was born.  We named him Nigel McKel. He was 8lbs 13oz and 21 1/4 inches long. Nigel is after an instructor Kelly had when he was in school. McKel is after Kelly.  November we where busy adjusting to a family of 4. My folks came out the end of November for almost a week. December we went to Edburg because one of Kelly's uncles died. We left Heidi @ Galen's because we left early early the morning of the funeral and come home the next day.  Christmas came with all it's activities.   We had Christmas with Kelly's family on the 26th. Stuart and Lea Isaac from Durham came up to see us. I made my home @ there place when I lived in Durham. They where here for 4 days.  Was lots of fun to see them. January came and we where supposed to start meetings but the ended up being pushed off till April. Our friends Cam and Ashley had a baby girl on the 7th. They named her Kambree Joelle. Our whole family has been sick most of this month. I think I have been to church 3 times including bible study.  I'm sick of being sick now. Now for some updates on the kids. Heidi turned 2 on December 22. She is talking lots and we can understand most of what she says. She weighs 29 pounds and is 1 inch short of 3 feet. She has very curly brownish reddish hair. She is a very busy girl and rarely sits down to play. She has decided that she wants to be potty trained now so we have been working on that.  Not sure how much Nigel weighs any more. We go to the dr on the 2nd. He is a very smiley baby and loves to talk to you. He has been a little colicky but seems to be out growing that. He sleeps up to 6 hours @ night so that is nice. He loves his soother which is a lifesaver for me.   Heidi loves to help by putting his soother in for me if I need her to. She thinks it a great highlight to have a "spashy" with him or to help give him one. Other wise she doesn't pay much attention to him.  She does always have to say " morning Nigels" when she sees him in the morning. Well not much more to say. See you all next time......
