got another video up on youtube. clicky this time of sonnet dancing her little heart out.

man its nice to have my digi cam back. i didn't do much today, put some laundry away and cleaned the kicthen. i did a bunch of work on book three and started writing a novella.

DIGI CAM LIVES!!!

woot! we have recived our digital camera back from the fuji people! it works!

so i immediately well... ok, first thing i did was realize i had no clue where the memory card was, and then panic. and then i searched. i still have no clue where the damn thing is. so we bought a new one. a bigger one. a better one. a huge one.

so then the first thing i did was do a tour of the house video! yay! so i uploaded it to youtube, so that everybody could see the house! it took forever to upload, and process, but the link should work now CLICKY

there will be new pics of sonnet, and new videos of her too. we've been working on getting her to say nanny on video, but so far, she only says it when she watches the video. i'm thinking of how much shes changed since anyone on here has seen her, and its alot.

and this just in, my child is a genius! i was up here blogging away and i heard the phone ring. but it didn't sound like my phone was ringing, so i headed downstairs to find sonnet on the couch, phone in hands, she had it on speaker phone and she called my dad! she called grandpa! she hit speaker and redail to get him on the phone. shes so smart!

thick and gentle

the skies opened up and we had snow for christmas.
yesterday was the family christmas in enterprise. and we got five inches of snow out here in bc.

the power went out at some point, either last night or this morning. and outside is a perfect winter wonderland. so we got all dressed up in layers of clothes and took sonnet out to play in the snow. she wasn't too sure what she thought at first, but she quickly started to enjoy herself.

i showed her how to make a snow angel, but she declined to try it out herself. then mackenzie and i ran all over the place and sonnet laughed and clapped. then we came inside.

we are having stew for dinner, its cooking away in the crock pot, and i made molten lava chocolate cakes to have for dessert.

big news on the book front, i got my first royalty check. which is awesome, and dad has agreed to be my second editor for book 2.

things are crazy

MY GRANDMA IS NINETY! HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA!!!

so yeah, things are crazy. we've started christmas shopping. which is nice, but you know, insane.

i had a great friday night. the MFRC (military family resource center) had a ladies spa night. so, for five bucks, i got a half hour massage, a facial, a yoga class, a lecture on plants (which was lame) a swim, and a soak in a hot tub, plus daquiries and chocolate fondue. twas awesome. the yoga and massage were the ebst part of the evening.

sonnets doing good, full of energy and stuff. she started stripping at night, until shes only in her diaper. which thankfully, she leaves on.

troy is on course all week, taking his emr instructers course through work. he still has to work a 24 hour shift on wenesday though, so it sucks.

we've been busy planning things for when mom and dad come up in december. i'm getting really excited about it.

oh its ben ages since i've been on here.
and so much has happened!

we went to victoria for the night and had a blast with Jeremy and Sheryl. Sonnet and Alex enjoyed each other too. we went out for dinner at the keg and then went on a carriage ride through downtown victoria, which was awesomely fun and still romantic.

we had halloween, which wasn't as festive as it could have been, but we took lots of pictures of sonnet in her costume. she was adorable. we only trick or treated at two houses.

we got a new computer, though we need to get a new modem before it gets hooked up to the internet. we also got a new matress set so our bed is now super comfy.

i opened my online shop, which can be found at www.kirastorm.esty.com and sold my first item.

i've been working on the guest bedroom/office all week and i finally finished it today. troy helped with some of the heavier stuff, but we moved two book cases down to the landing, moved the computers to one side of the room, and then today i cleaned the floor and set the bed up. its ready for guests!

today i also cleaned sonnets room, hung her curtains (finally) and set up her over the bed netting. she still in the crib, so the netting can stay up for a while. it looks really cool, and sonnet certainly loves it. i did some room decorating in our bedroom, i hung a butterfly mobile (hand made too) in the corner over the bed, and added a sparkly crystal rope to the curtain rod for no reason.

troys working every day this week, so things are kinda stressful. i'm trying to stay on top of things and it seesm to be working well.
