Here is a great video of Callum and Jack playing blocks with Sonam last week...

Haircuts!
The boys had their first 'official' haircuts today. I say official because they each had part of their head shaved while they were in the NICU, but I don't think that counts as a true haircut.
We knew that Callum and Jack needed haircuts. Several people (hi Bill! hi Kelly!) had mentioned it and their hair was starting to get tangles. When Sonam put pigtails in Callum's and Jack's hair last week (which Will thought was hilarious), I knew it had to be done and soon. Will's hair is much finer. He just needed the back cleaned up. I liked to joke that we had '80's boys - 2 with mullets and 1 with a rat tail.
We decided yesterday that we should just bite the bullet and get it done, so this morning Mum and I took the boys to Melonhead. I felt a bit sad to say goodbye to the baby curls, but it went really well and the boys look exceptionally cute (if I do say so myself haha).
Here are a few before and after photos:

We are on another blog!
I know I am late posting this, but we had a great visit with Daren's Uncle Paul and Aunt Sandra a few weeks ago. Paul and Sandra are temporarily living in our neighborhood while their own home is being renovated/repaired. I don't think I want them to leave! We had a short visit at their house and then Sandra came home with us and stayed while the boys had lunch. It was really nice. Anyway, Sandra wrote about the visit on her blog. Here is the link if you want to take a look:

The posting date is in early February - take your time and read about their fantastic trip as well!

The February Blahs
Yahoo, February is almost over. This winter has been horrible - so hard to get out and so cold and snowy. If/when we move again it is going to be somewhere warmer! I've decided to use the winter blah's as my excuse for not blogging in a while. However, I am turning over a new leaf - back to at least weekly entries.
So you're probably wondering what fascinating things we have been up to lately. Here it is:
The boys are great. All are walking now (Callum took his time with that - he prefers to sit and play quietly, so walking was not a big priority for him). No one is saying much yet - mainly mama, dada, uh-oh and baby. I guess my boys are the strong silent type. They have a great time playing together most days and now often show their fondness for each other by kissing. It is too cute.
I am going to post recent photos as soon as I find my camera cord. It is hiding out somewhere with all of our missing socks.

Good Riddance January!
Yahoo - January is finally over and there are only 27 days left in February. Can you tell that I am looking forward to spring? I don't want to complain, but it is really, and I mean really tough to get out with 3 18-month old's during the winter. Our new neighborhood is great, but there is just too much snow to get through. I need a motor and a plow on the stroller I guess.
It's been a long time since I updated and I don't know where to start. I should probably start with an update about the holidays, but I really want to talk about New Year's resolutions. I have the perfect resolution for next year! You see, this year I made several resolutions - exercise more, be more organized, update the blog regularly, etc. I set myself up for failure because I had too many resolutions and there was no way I could keep them all. Next year, I resolve to make only one resolution and since my one resolution will be to only make one resolution, I should surely be able to keep it. Sometimes I think I need to get out more...
On another note, here is proof that kiddie toys can be fun for all ages:

All kidding aside, tomorrow I will post a real and (hopefully) interesting update.

A Long Overdue Update
It's Sunday afternoon and the boys are partying in bed (that's what they often do when they should be napping), so I am taking this opportunity to finally update our blog.
Our house is officially sold (as of a couple of weeks ago), and we have taken over a good portion of Grandma and Grandpa's house. The boys have adjusted very well to the change of scenery and are having a blast in their new environment. One thing the boys particularly enjoy doing is playing with Grandma's onions and potatoes. they are perfect for rolling and chasing around the kitchen floor. Here is a photo of this great new activity:
On our first full weekend here, Grandma and Grandpa hosted a fantastic Christmas party. Even the boys attended for a little while before bed, and we all had a great time. We also visited Daren's Grandparents that weekend. The boys had a great time exploring their condo. Here are a couple of photos from our visit:
All in all, we are having a great time. I have lots more to write and will update again soon.
