Okay, a little update

If you go to The Ewert family you will see the letter that I sent out with our christmas cards. It is a good over view of our life since I made my first post.

In more recent news, Ben’s contract is being finalized this week, which give him full time hours at the Arts Academy. We are excited and scared about this, as the contract would only run until the end of June, at which time a new contract would need to be drawn up. Also, this contract would employ him for only 42 weeks a year and just don’t know if I am that good at budgeting.

In the ever-evolving world of Jakob, life is good but everything is “no”. However if you ask him how he is, he generally will say “good”. He knows “please (peessss)” and “you’re welcome (your belmom)” and “up”- he knows this one all too well. He is a charmer as always and is very outgoing. We were able to find a new babysitter for Jakob at the last possibly moment. She is a young grandma and has three grandsons. She is able to come over to our house, but only lives a block away so can take him back to her place if she needs or brings her grandsons over to play at our house. It seems to be a good arrangement for both parties and Jakob loves her.

Nothing has changed in Soren’s world except that somehow he got the notion that it is okay to pee on the deck if it is really snowy (this is not okay).

As for me, well I am already looking forward to being done work and spending time with my kid(s). The mind is always turning, however and I constantly am brainstorming about ways to make money from home when my Maternity leave ends.

We are settling into a groove and after my momleaves (she subbing for our babysitter while she is away) , we will find out what life in Three Hills is really like. Up until now, we have always had people coming, going, staying, visiting, etc….well, who am I kidding, will our lives ever settle?

  1. Oh I am so glad that you are going to keep posting. Thanks for letting me put your link on our sibling blog. It helps us ‘older generation’ use a quick click to get to see each other’s kids activities. I love reading about your ‘corner of the world’. You are a good writer and I can now visualize everything having had a great time in your home this past November. Now…..hmmmm…I think I heard some rumor about some of your ideas to make money…and one of them sounds VERY GOOD indeed…and so up the EWERT alley! Go for it…maybe you can have guest ‘cooks and bakers’. Hospitality runs in the family …. Thanks and keep posting gal!

    • So what is the siblings’ blog, I’d like to take a look and see what’s going on as well…if that is permitted :)

  2. Krista, if we haven’t said it before, we want you to know how glad we are to have you as part of our family.

Oh, and thanks for the GREAT family picture at Christmas time! Your little Jakob is sure adorable! Love you!

  3. I was wondering when you were going to post again! Glad to hear that all is (chaotically) well in Three Hills :)
