Happy 2009 and all the best in the New Year. The Friesen family had a very good holiday season. We spent Christmas Eve just the 3 of us which was very nice. Cohen got the hang of the gift thing pretty quick .

Christmas day we spent the day in Okotoks with Grandma and Grandpa D and the Friesen gang. Grandma Nettie and Uncle Steve were also down which made it extra special. The day started with a huge breakfast and it s hard to say when the first meal ended and the next began. It was such a wonderful day. We took a few days home to recoop from that then headed to Saskatchewan. We made a quick stop to see Darren and Wendy and the girls. Cohen sure does like the ladies.
We arrived on the farm on the 28th. We had a wonderful week doing much eating, drinking (except for me) and laughing. We were lucky enough to spend some time with Grandma Frank and Grandma Schoenroth which is always nice. Cohen had lots of quality time with his Granny, Grampy, Auntie Lynette and Uncle Ivan. I would say his highlight is the tractor ride with Grampy. He is definitely a farm boy. It was a great week and we can't wait to see you all again.

Congrats to Tanya and Justin!! The wedding on New Years was great and we wish you all the best.

I am 30 weeks now and counting down the days. My belly is growing at an alarming rate! We'll keep you posted.

Hello to all. Hope Christmas shopping is going well..comes way to fast in my books!. Well i thought I would throw in a post before Christmas comes. Cohen is now 18 months. He is 32" long and weighs 23-25 lbs depending on whats for breakfast. He's not a very big guy but what he lacks in pounds he makes up for in personality. He is running constantly and talking like crazy. He says about 20 words or so consistently and learns new ones every day. He also finally has teeth not to mention a gap between the front ones which is pretty cute I must say. He is so much fun.
I am 23 weeks now and yes, growing like a weed. I can't seem to stop eating and I'm blaming pregnancy but really its just lack of will power coupled with a good excuse. Can't beleive we're going to have another crazy one in just a few months. We'll keep you all posted.
In the meantime, good luck with holiday preparations and hope to see and talk to most of you at Christmas.

Halloween Fun

Cohen went out Trick or Treating for the first time this year. He was pretty unsure how he felt about it but he definitely knew what the routine was. He was more than happy to hold out his bucket and wait for treats. So much fun!
