Oh no - Carrie's blogging again!

Carrie reporting for duty! All's well here at MTS (I'm blogging during my lunch break - tsk tsk tsk)! Hope all is well at your respective places of work!

Ben is now on his third day at home with Grandma Susan. Alexander (daycare buddy) is still sick - he was spiking a fever yesterday! So we made the responsible parental decision to keep Ben away from a very sick Alexander. And actually, he won't be going to the babysitter's next week 'cause it's spring break! Ben will spend his days tiring Daddy out instead of Grandma or Cherise!

Work is going well - I really like it, now that I'm a bit more settled in. We're gearing up for a busy time again - quarter end! Whoo-hoo! And my manager is leaving, throwing a wrench into everything.

I am so excited for this weekend! Not only is Gord's sis and bro-in-law coming in from Ottawa tonight and staying till Tuesday, my friend Stacy is coming to Winnipeg from Minneapolis and we're getting together with our friend Debbie (who just had a baby at the end of January) and her kiddos for a visit! Awesome stuff!

Chris and Sheri get their puppy tomorrow...all the way from Calgary! It's a Havenese-ShihTzu cross - they're still trying to decide on a name though. He's soooo cute you just wanna roll him up and smoke him! (Get it...he's a Cuban dog...!?)

Here are a few things that Ben is doing now:
- will go get a book if you ask him to
- will then turn his back to you, back up and sit on your knee for you to read said book to him
- turns the pages (he's been doing this for months now)
- LOVES to play "roll the ball" - although he sometimes wants to sit on your knee and play "roll the ball" - roll it to who?
- will sit on command (learned this faster than Charlie)
- will bark ("hoo-hoo") if you ask him what Charlie says
- will sometimes do the sign for milk (if he's not too cranky)
- will chew on his socks if you leave them lying around (similar to Charlie - is this disturbing to anyone but me?)

That's about all I've got to say...except that we really enjoy getting comments - so make sure that you leave one!

Signing off now...
