Our little Holiday

Here is our family photo for 2008, on the top of Salfur mountain! The girl who took the picture for us was literally frozen, she had just come from a hike and her hair was white. I felt bad for asking her after that. BUt am glad we got one all together.


Seth was tired and hungry once we were at the top of the mountain (after riding the gondala in Banff) We got food at the top which was not good and was expensive! But Seth seemed to like the sandwich, and we thought it was hilarious him eating such a huge sandwich!


Heres me on the Gondala, I was a little freaked out by it, it goes so high... and it's freazing inside the thing! But it was an expeiance I am glad we had. I would recommend going in the summer!


Heres our hotel. It was beautiful! And we had just the cheapest hotel room, and it was great! Only that Seth had to sleep in the bathtub so we didn't wake each other up, there was no other room to sick him in. It was kinda fun cuz we had TV in our room, and we dont have it at home, so it was fun to watch a few shows. And the bed was amazing, i was a feather bed and blanket.


Vinjelu in front of one of the MANY gift shops on Banff Ave. We didn't go many places, but had alot of fun on Banff Ave, eating and shopping. I love this picture of Vinj! It was below -29 every day we were there! So we had to bundle up all the time.

Seth and mommy!

PLaying with the mac

Merry Christmas!

Well I know this is an old christmas picture. But we haven't got one done yet this christmas, we'll have to get on that since we have a baby now:)
So we broke down and bought a christmas tree, and were pleasantly surprised that we found one for $30.00 from Super store. That was nice, so we have one now. And it is beautiful! Seth seems to be a little scared of the tree though, which is good actually, so he wont be pulling it on him self. Almost done shopping for my peeps, funny I have my mom left, which is not usual. BUt that means it wont be hard.

Anyway, Merry Christmas!

11 inches shorter!!!!

Heres my new look for the winter! Less time in the shower, less time blow drying, less time doing my hair! So it's easier in this sick, tired time in my life. And I can look good with a little less effort! :)

I took this on our Mac Photo booth thing. Kinad cool. I can do my make up with it, like on on the TV Adverts,

Anyway, I did have a new nose piercing to go along with my new look, but it fell out in the night and it grew in, I tried to no avail piercing it with a safety pin again, but I was a wuss about it:)

How Seth is Growing to be a Big Boy!

Seth LOVES drinking from a straw, and unfortunatly people that usually have a drink with a straw it's pop:) and I obveously do not like that! So I asked Daniel my borther to go out and buy Seth a cup with a Straw, and here it is, he seems to really like it, and it works for him. I think he feels really acomplished actually!

He also goes up the stairs, he doesnt know how to get down the stairs yet, and we are a little nervous of him going up so far with the possibilty of him falling. But he thinks it's a game, us going after him and him climbing the stairs as fast as he came while he giggles away, and looks back to see if you're following him:0 It's so cute! You'd have to see it.




Seth is SO BIG he is now graduated to the big boy car seat. I was squeezing him into his infant seat, and now Lana my sister in law traded with me since her and robter will be having their baby in the next 4 weeks! So it's another little celebration for them as well. Seth was very happy to sit forward and see us, and dangle his feet. It's amazing how he has grown, he is now almost 11 mothns old, I guess you're never ready parenting, it just comes and you just go with it :) (Well thats how I feel anyway)




Here's Seth all dressed up for our first gig in Camrose. He looks SOOOO cute in his full suite, (besides the jacket:) He LOVES music like any baby does, but actually has good rythem, and also LOVES to hear his daddy rap!

Anyway, Second baby is grpowing and I can feel it, I have to say I am so thankful for being sick because I know my baby is growing and growing, it's reassuring to me actually. even though in the mean time I am feeling SICK and so tired.. but I am thankful because of it. Kinda funny mixed feelings.
So thats our boy seth growing and growing!

Sleepy Days

Well since finding out I am pregnant again I have a new found sleepy-ness all the time. I feel Like I could sleep all day if I was aloud to... Seth is also sleeping alot more these days, he's having 3 naps a day now, plus sleep 10 hours a night! He must be growing I figure. No new teeth as of yet, just has four teeth.



Iam running the day home still, I have a 3 year old boy, and a 5 months old baby coming next month, and also have a 2 year old little girl who comes one week a month. So it's busy but not too bad, the only thing is being so tired lately.

Anyway, our band "Another Way" is playing in Edmonton on Friday this week, then Calgary on the 30th, and also in Wetaskiwin on December 12 with a few other Artists. It's great, getting our music out there and we're also getting some more experiance... it's fun, for both vinj and I. We will strat working on our Album as soon as we understand the recording program we have... cant wait for that.

Thats all for now

The Jesus Way...

As of late I have been inspired to blog again. Hoping vinj will write some of his thoughts too. So to you mom mostly here ya go:) lets see if we can get people interested again! Because the elections are coming up in Canada I have been looking into all the parties and who I want to support. In the past it has been Conservative... since learning more about God's heart and intentions, what His Kingdom on Earth means, I have found I dont agree with the Conservatives on a few fronts. One being THE WAR, thats going on right now, since the conservatives dont have any plans to retreat and do more peace keeping, I dont plan on supporting them. Then, there are NDP, Green,and so on... I guess I am at a loss, which I think many poeple have come to (since alot of canadians dont even vote) who do you vote for... I wisd I could vote for
"The Jesus way" If we followed just this one commandment, "Love your enemies" our world would be turned upside down. Which, I guess, is why many poeple call the Kingdom of God an upside down kingdom... totaly contrairy to human nature, and self gain. Shane Claibourn said in his book "The irresistable Revolution"
WE HAVE LOST OUR IMAGINATION! If all we can do is kill eachother, constantly trying to be one top of the other. We have lost our imaginations. We are capable of so much more... "Another world is possible!" Vinj and I have been eading "Jesus For president", below is a description of the book.. please read on. and if you can get the book, or borrow it from us when we're finished.
Watch the viodeo attached, shane talks about the new book, and whats it's all about. It's a very challenging book, full of scripture!
I believe a new world is possible, even if it is just for a small group of people, I know living the Jesus way works... and I am on that journey now.

Life

Update on Kathryn's life.....



Well, right now it's me and seth most of the time, and when vinj gets time off we are SOOO excited and love every minute spent with him. Right after giving birth to Seth I couldnt imagine doing that agin for AWHILE! haha! But am already excited for when we have another baby. It's just so amazing being a mom to an individual, to someone so precious. I have basically recovered fully from the birth, and am now trying to get some sleep! Everyday I try to get a few things done in and the house, go for a walk and the rest is nappies, rocking seth, feeding, playing, singing and when we ca sleeping!:)



Vinjelu



Vinj is working at a transition home for teens, it's the last stage of social services wih young people. He works in the home and also has two young guys he is working with that have already moved out of the home, he is helping them ajust to indipendant living. He's great with the kids of course, they all have some kind of trust in him, and he has alot of possitive prospective for all of them. It's a little bit hard not to be involved in what vinj is doing because we have been working like that since before we were even dating. So it's an ajustment, because everything vinj does is confidential, and the kids names and stories and stuff. So we are learning to ajust. He works shift work, but it's good because he can trade a shift if he needs to or pick up an extra one if we need the extra money. So basically its working for us, and we are thankful for the job. Vinj LOVES being home with Seth, when he's home he's a bit of a hog with Seth, but I really appreciate the break! We still go down to calgary once a month, it's a long drive but we love to see our friends. Thats it for now i guess...

look below for new pitures of Seth

Seths pictures and updates

Two months old with his tedyy from Uncle MIke and Aunty Victoria


Two month old, he's so precious!


Two month old, and look at those eyes!!!!


This is a picture of seth that we love, he is one month old in this picture.


Here is seth the other day at 2 months old, about to cry, and giving me his beautiful bottom lip:)


This was the other day too, vinj and I were playing with seth, and he was laughing and smiling. It was an awesome moment.

Seth has been doing really well, after having a cold only 2 weeks into his life, he's been a trooper. He started only waking up once in the night to be fed beggining of february... but thathas changed only in the past two nights, he has been waking up every two hours again... and I thought I was going to be lucky:) He may just be having a growth spurt. He is a happy baby, smiles and "talks" alot. He loves to be held, right now it can be anyone holding him and he is happy, although eventually he does want his mom (and I am happy about that:) During the day he still eats about every 2 hours. I am njot sure how much he weighs right now, we will be finding that out on friday. Thats all for now.

Seth 7 weeks old

Seth is 7 weeks in these photos. We visit my brother and his wife lana about once a week, so seth gets to see his cousins once a week, you can see how much he grows everyweek!!! We have LOTS more photos on face book, you can search us under "vinjelu muyaba".
