Update
We're back! Sorry for the LONG absence. Too many people have asked me to come back to this blog, so here I am. I've been spending more time on Facebook lately, and it's hard to keep up two sites!
Lots has been happening in our household. Yan came home from course in March and has been in and out ever since - working lots and loving his new job. He has been to San Diego, the Artic, Texas, and back to Nova Scotia, all since he has been "home." We are loving have him home, although the adjustment back to life as a couple has been interesting!
Welcome home Daddy!
My life has been a roller coaster, with the sale of my clinic on and off and on and off. Finally, I do have a deal, and have sold the clinic to a new physio who has moved here from Grande Prairie and has been working with me since mid April. She will be taking over June 1, and I will continue to work for her as a staff physio. I am very excited, relieved, and happy to be leaving all the administrative duties of running a clinic behind. This will allow me to spend more time just enjoying patient care, and spending time with my two little angels. I have also been continuing to work my Arbonne business in the nooks and crannies, and have been enjoying that as well. It's hard to get stressed out when you are playing with make-up and doing home spas!
Nicholas has been attending preschool 2 mornings a week where he learns French and enjoys playing with his friends. He has turned into quite the grown-up, mischevious, sassy little guy. Discipline is challenging, and potty training just will not happen - by sheer force of will. When he decides it's time, it'll be an overnight transition I'm sure.
Lucas is growing up too fast. He's finally caught the walking bug, and begs to be 'walked' with his hands held all the time. Our goal is to have him walking by the next camping trip (see next post). He is so cuddly and snuggly - he loves his stuffed animals and blankets and gives the BEST baby hugs. I really do love this age. It was when Nicholas was this age that we started planning on Lucas. But no more babies for us!
Lucas has learned some breakdancing moves from his brother.
and he needed his own truck...therefore we replaced Nic's old one with an exact replica!

Tito's Visit
This weekend we were blessed to have a visit from Yan's dad, and the boys' "Tito." He was in Calgary for work and flew over to see us for 3 days! I got the flu on Thurs night, and was in bed home from work sick when he got here on Friday morning, but luckily it was only a 24 hour things and the rest of the weekend went well. Thanks for coming Tito!
Still lovin' the swing
These pics were taken at the Atlas, where we went to eat for Valentine's Day!
CHEERS!
The sun decided to come out after a very rainy Fri and Sat, and Sunday we hit the beach.

Lucas is Standing!
Lucas has just discovered a new trick and he is obsessed with trying to stand up now. He pulls himself up on EVERYTHING and then stands there looking so pleased with himself. He can also "tall kneel" quite well, and isn't even crawling more than the "commando crawl", so we'll see if he skips that step altogether.
Yan is still in Greenwood, NS and isn't flying that much, but hopes for another flight on Friday. That will leave 3 flights left before he can come home. He has been averaging 1/week, so hopefully he'll be home by the Olympics!Yan's brother in law, Roger, was deployed to Haiti last week for 6 months, so we are feeling a little more connected to the situation there. His job is explosives and he will be demolishing the buildings in preparation for clean-up. Yan's sister was left alone with 2 kids for 6 months on only a few days notice and I feel for her!
I have been working 1/2 days at the clinic, and a few hours per week on Arbonne. I am planning a trip to Vegas in March for our National (international) Convention, so I am getting very excited about that, as I've never been there.
The sale of my clinic continues to proceed very slowly. We are still in due diligence, but hope to close by March 31. I won't be able to really relax until the deal is done, but at least we are still moving forward.

Mom and Dad's Visit
I see my mom did a great job of posting her pics from their visit, so rather than spend all that time duplicating, I'm going to send you to her blog to check them out! Some great pics of the boys there :)
December Update
Hi Everyone! Just in case you were wondering, we are still alive out here on the island. Life is good, but busy. The third week in November, Grandma came out to visit, which was supposed to give me a break! Well, it simply meant the chance to ramp things up a notch and get all those appointments done that I had been neglecting (like my hair) and to work my Arbonne business at a craft fair. Grandpa came for the weekend as well, which was a special treat. Nicholas now knows Grandpa and Grandma well, and was so excited for their visit! More pics from their visit next post.

Starting to play differently...more organization now!
My handsome Lucas.
Pat and the Gang: This woman is amazing. She has more energy and patience with kids than I can dream of having at her age. Julia (far left) is Nic's special friend and Pat also sits for her, and she is in his preschool, so he idolizes her!
Lucas getting his first ride on THE TRUCK, which Nicholas will never share. This was an amazing moment this morning!
