All For Orion

My little man all dressed up.

Yesterday was Orion's 6 month birthday! It was also a special day as he was dedicated at our church. It was very emotional for me as my faith and my family were what kept me going at some of the low points in my journey.

He's getting so big now, the last 6 months have been so special and on one hand I'm dreading having to go back to work in May/June. On the other hand I'll enjoy getting back into the swing of things with my career but when you're with such a little person for 24/7 for almost a year, it's going to be tough being apart from him. I know I've been fortunate to have that time off from work to be with him and thankfully we're all settled in our new house now so we have a great place for him to grow up!

Takes Our Breath Away

...that is, winter and the month of January! Aside from being really cold the last few days, January has been and will be so busy. Tonight is Orion's last night in this house. This townhouse is where the journey started but this week we will start a new chapter in our lives together as we move to a new, bigger detached house. It's in the neighbourhood where I grew up and now where Orion will grow up too. It's a nice house, you can see the river right from our driveway and easily a 5 minute walk. It will be fun to take Orion there and watch the sailboats in the summer, I honestly can't wait! The city just built a new park and splash pad nearby so we'll definitely be frequenting that as well. Orion's school is also a 5 minute walk so no school bus commutes... everything is nearby.

We'll see you from the new house!
