Just another weekend

Monday was Thanksgiving. Boyfriend and I took the girls to my mom's place for turkey dinner. I spent a little too long that morning looking through our two closets to find shirts that would all 'go together' in hopes of taking a semi-decent photo of the four of us. We didn't have much to work with, but I think I came up with nice enough options. And then we never took any photos. 

Typical me. The more effort I put into something like taking photos, the lazier I become at it. At least I documented Chloe's first Thanksgiving last year.

I still managed to get a few pictures of the girls over the weekend, even though they barely stopped moving long enough. Chloe's walker toy has become her favorite. When she was just a young one, it helped her learn how to sit by leaning forward to play with it. Now that she's a little more mobile, she runs all over the apartment with it, and has even figured out how to swing it around when she gets stuck. Someday soon she's just going to stand and walk out of no where. 

Saturday night boyfriend and I went to his best friend's birthday party. It was a blast, as it always is when we go there. It's nice to get out and socialize every now and then. It had been too long. 

The weekend was a decent one, and I still wasn't disappointed about going back to work. Although I wouldn't complain if every weekend was a three-day one. 

I'm Thankful for...

Yesterday was Canadian Thanksgiving, so in true Thanksgiving style, these are some of the things I'm thankful for lately:

My little girl

Of course. She's just so full of personality lately and I get so excited when it's time to pick her up at daycare. She was sick the night before Thanksgiving, but she took it like a champ.

* So if we're keeping this one for the books, Chloe's first time getting real sick was early morning on October 8th.

My amazing boyfriend

I don't know how he does it. He's basically my life saver now that I'm back to work with no car. He gets up early to drive me to work most days. Other days he takes the bus and lets me take his car. He's taken taxis for me. He's dropped Chloe off at daycare for me. He's paid extra on the bills so I'd have more money to put towards a car. When he thinks it's his turn to do the dishes he won't let me touch them. He cooks most of our meals when he's home. He does anything I ask him to and the best part? He's never complained once.

My new job

It's my first day working by myself, and I love it so far.

My family and friends

Of course. All all my material things, my health, and so on.

Coming up soon.. pictures of Chloe's cake smash photo session.
