Update time..

Let's see - Collin is starting a 4 year apprenticeship on Monday. He will be working at All West Glass, working towards his "Glazier" Journeyman-ship. We are so excited for him, and of course proud of him too - to make such a leap of faith. It will be so great to have him working in town, shorter days and a much nicer work environment. So after 8 years, he is saying so long to mill work! Yippeeeee...


Let's see - my work is busy as usual, just how it is when you are the bottleneck for when permits get done so loggers can log! I woke up this A.M. to the sun shining through some brand new poplar leaves - it really was fantastic.. I love spring! I have also lost a total of 22 pounds since last summer - so I am freaking pumped about that!
Millie is slowly making a turn for the better and we have managed to have a handful of events where mommy has to be gone and she hasn't lost her mind with anxiety attacks and panic. It really has been a great releif cause it's been a long road. She sees a counsellor at her school and he is great - we haven't had any major epifanies as to what is or was causing her great mix up.
And finally Oaksana - she is really growing up so fast.. sometimes she says stuff and I just look at her and think OMG in 5 minutes she going to be 12 and then what??? LOL. She is going to have 2 day surgeries to have some very suspicious moles removed. One from her back and the other from in her hair behind her ear. She is very nervous - as I would be too -- her first one is on Monday the 14th and the other on the 29th. The doc said she will send them away and let us know if anything is not good with them after that.
So all in all - we are pretty even keel'd. Miss you all - come visit us!!! We'd love to have you..

Good to hear about Collins new job. That is awesome! Good to hear Millie is doing alot better now. I would love to come visit you guys but I dont' know if my body could survive the trip being as pregnant as I am now. But hopefully it won't be too long before we see you guys.

Be thankful that Millie doesn't scream and cry and then chase your car down the street and try to hang on to the bumper when you try to leave.

That's what I used to do.

We didn't have counseling for separation aniexty and panic attacks back then.

I'm making up for that in counseling now...

I'm also happy to hear Millie is doing better.Poor sweet girl.I have no idea what that's like, as i have to practically hold Olive down to get a kiss Goodbye when she's dropped off at friends:) lol.
Way to go with the weight loss, that's excellent. I can't wait to see you strut your stuff in a little bikini:) Sounds like things are all good in the Hague house. As for me, I am loving this time of year. Watching all my little green sprouts popping out of the garden. I already have turnips that are ready to eat. mmm.
