Sooo long in posting!

Well now that it has truly been over a month in blogging. There is a bit to update. Firstly still waiting on the arrival of Leslie and Mike's little man...hopefully soon poor Les! Jacey is anxiously awaiting her cousin's arrival. Also Jenny and Graham have found out that they are expecting naturally as well, three babies in ten months. AWESOME!!! Also Graham has gotten a great job down here in the Fort and so he will be down here within the month. Jen is pumped!! It is an exciting time in the Hinko family for sure.

Jacey is sure growing and changing. Her hair is lightening to an auburn red/brown I wonder what it will be. Her eyes are still pretty blue although I am noticing some days that they are a bit greeny so we will see. She is getting so much bigger and stronger. I put her in her sling and all she does is brace her arms on my chest to sit back and look around. She is starting to outgrow her newborn and 1 month outfits now. So she is still small and people always comment about how teeny she is for her 2 months age. What can you do, she eats like a monster!! It is interesting to just watch her develop and see the bits of her personality flare. She is a woman who knows what she wants and how she wants it done. She does not like to sit and lay, not content with that at all. She wants to be held and cuddled often...and truly who wouldn't want to cuddle her often? She is a very aware lady, likes to look around and be facing the action. My mom says that the apple definitely doesn't fall far from the tree. Hehe that might be the only similarity between her and I, cause she looks exactly like her dad.

Jon is busy with school and doing well. He cannot wait to be finished this Christmas and begin his career. I on the other hand am loving not having a career this year and getting to spend that time with my girl and also tons of time with my family. Pretty special especially with all the changes going on!

We just got home from visiting Newfoundland. Jon's family loved Jacey! Everyone was all about her, wanting to hold and cuddle her. Poor girl was all over the place, everytime she woke up she was somewhere new and someone new was holding her. But she did fantastic, slept through our flights and was not a crab with everyone. Only thing was her sleeping on Alberta time schedule still...ugh! Jon and I were pooped after this. It was a tiring trip but so much fun. We were in St. John's and around the bay for 6 days and then flew to Toronto for 2 days. We saw the CN Tower, Hockey Hall of Fame, shopped and Jon was able to see a Toronto-Ottawa game. The next day we rented a car and drove out to Niagra Falls. So much fun! They were beautiful and just awesome. Toured a bit and then flew home! Phewph glad to be home, haven't been for about 3 weeks. Anyways hopefully things have settled more and I will post more.

Cousin Playdates

Sooo, Jacey and her cousin Kingston will be about 10 weeks apart in age once he is born. They already have had some hang out sessions though. A few weeks ago Leslie was down and laying on the floor and had Jacey laying across her bump sleeping. After a few minutes Kingston started to kick her in the head. Jacey's head kept going up and down and she had this smile on her face when he did it. Too cute! I sure wonder if they are still connected from heaven some how. Then this last weekend while Les was down again she was holding Jacey so that her bum was on the bump. Kingston started to kick her in the butt, and Jacey had this huge grin and little chuckle in her sleep. Soo funny, it was just hilarious. They must be passing secrests still back and forth. Jacey probably is telling Kingston what a gongshow this family is and to head for the hills! Anyways though, I cannot get this pic to turn good so hopefully you can sideways see it hehe Love: The Bird's Nest

Jacey got blessed!

Here we are again, yesterday Jacey was blessed! Both of our families came down and my grandparents and great aunt all came. What a great experience for us all to have together. Really special! My mom made her blessing gown out of my gramma's, mom's and sisters wedding dress material, it was truly beautiful. Jacey wore her dad's old christening bonnet and did not appreciate it at all! hehe My Grandpa Hudkins gave her the blessing and it was beautiful. The funny thing though was that at the start a baby was really fussing and it turned into screaming and I was kinda like, "Really? Take your kid out please." Turns out it was my kid screaming into the microphone. Yup, letting it all out! Poor grandpa and the bishop pric, he kept moving her around and their hands all followed. Kinda funny to watch! The one councillor was jiggling her suckey into her mouth and the other one kept looking at her face to make sure she was breathing and ok. I was slightly embarassed. When she came back down she stopped and burped the hugest burp, so I was grateful that was after and not into the mic hehe Nice though that everyone was there. Poor girl hate the pics after ward also, all of them have her face red, and mouth open in a great scream. Ah well, always will remember it for sure now~

Baby Shower

Well this last weekend was a joint

baby shower for Leslie and myself. It was thrown by my other sister Jenny. She did awesome! It was a nursery rhyme theme. Sooo cute! Refreshments were centered around rhymes and also the games and things, fun. I will let you figure out the rhymes for some of the food: Pumpkin Pie, Deviled Eggs, Bread and Butter. I cannot believe how many people came and the amount of gifts, it was crazy. We sure appreciated everyone. Jacey was perfect, I filled her up double before everyone got there and the lady slept through the whole passing around session hehe She wasn't even that crabby during the evening. The gramma's also arrived yesterday and today. So funny, it has only been about 3 weeks and they are both all over her. I feared they would not let anyone else hold her during the shower. They did awesome at restraining themselves. (Although I think that they let her go because they know I am heading up to the Mac with her for a week to visit!!) hehe It was just super fun and we were grateful for those who hosted and helped and those who came and gave gifts!

Oops!

I realized that the pics of the last post cut off some words. I will have to try to fix somehow...YIKES!
