It is now May and things continue on a hectic pace in the Imes household.  Happily the house in Peace River officially sold on April 24 which was a huge relief.   Bobbi-Jo and the boys will likely go to PR over the long weekend to pick-up the travel trailer and visit with some friends.  She is not looking forward to the long drive but it will be nice to visit with friends.   May is also the end of the extended holiday from work which Bobbi-Jo has had.  She is a little sad that she will be on a regular schedule again come June but also excited as it will be nice to have a routine and be able to plan things with a little more ease.

Carson is turning 4 this week.  He is very excited as we try to plan his party.  So far all we know is that we would like to be outside playing games.  He hasn't really picked a theme or anything.  We have invited the kids from his primary class as these are the only little people that we know at present.  If they all can come it will be a good little party.  We have sand pails as treat bags and will go to the store this week to pick out treats to go inside once Grandma is here to help out.  

Clarke interviewed for a job in Medicine Hat this last week and we will find out tomorrow how things went.  It would be very nice if he got the job but there is someone with more seniority who also applied so we don't know how things will go.  Hopefully things will work to our favor.

Nathan has started to pull himself to stand and sit up from his tummy.  His inch worm movements are also much closer to a proper crawl.  He wants so much to feed himself and do everything else he sees his older brothers doing.  We switched him to a 'big boy chair' in the van this week.  He seems to really like it.  I still can't believe how quickly he seems to be growing.

Jay is Jay.  He has had an interesting 2 weeks.  He had a little accident on the 26th and in addition to getting a lovely goose egg on the back of his head, he made a hole in the wall of our dining room.  Poor guy.  It only took about 20 minutes for him to get back to his normal self.  Since then he has been his normal self - coloring walls and doors with chalk and markers, tearing open packages that weren't his and generally causing problems.  He just smiles at the end!  Clarke has started putting him in the corner and he is very good at standing there perfectly with his nose in the corner that it makes me want to laugh.  I don't know yet that it is helping but we are trying! =)

That is our update for this week.  We hope all is well with you.
