these january, almost february days

These are two of my favorite pics of the kids I took lately. Nothing really to report these days. Life is pretty standard right now. Salome went to the doctor this morning and measured 50 -75 percent which his where she has pretty much always been, except for at birth of course! I decided to seek out a new doctor after her last appointment was pretty traumatic and I decided the clinic was not worth our time(literally a 30-60 minute wait every time) We went back one other time before this for an appointment for Ephraim and she freaked out to even be there. So today was a big question mark as to how she would react to a new place, doctor. She was really freaked out at first, not wanting me to remove her clothes at all or let the nurse attendant even touch her. She cried through the weighing and measuring, but finally calmed down as we waited for the doctor. The doctor came in and wisely gave her time to gain trust simply by ignoring her and talking to me. Smart doc! Then Salome slowly agreed to let the doctor interact with her, so all in all the visit went really well. I really like the doctor to which left me wondering why I stayed at the last office so long.
Ephraim is happy to be back in preschool after Christmas break, after which he said, " Mama I love my preschool and love my friends." So sweet. We are still unsure of our return for next fall and are exploring some Pre-K options... God knows what the future holds, we are just waiting to find out.
Ryan is busy as usual having taken on another CBC lobby design project, continuing working on the kitchen and going to work too:)
I am slowly progressing on a mural for E' preschool. I like how it is turning out, yet was unaware of how long my design was going to take. It is always fun to have an extra project though.
Well that is all of our not too interesting news for now...

Doctors can be so tricky sometimes! We've found one since we've moved here, but there are still little things that are less than ideal...I wonder if it is always that way?
My goal is to be familiar and skilled enough with home remedies that eventually we won't really even need to go except for extreem situations. However, I'm still learning, so we're not quite there yet.

Life sounds like it's going well! I really never knew what parenting required...and I also never knew how enjoyable even the day-to-day can be! Take care.
