I am currently completely overwhelmed and thinking I am crazy for all that I am trying to accomplish with a 1 year old, but I think about the opportunity we have to save money and get ahead and it feels wonderful. We are moving into my parent's basement apartment. I didn't think that I would ever be moving home again, but am completely thankful for my parent's generosity and willingness to let us rent from them. <div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>For the past few years, I have always been in some sort of transition. I have not felt settled and as I have learned about myself my surroundings tend to take the form of whatever is going on 'inside' of me. I have felt a bit out of control and as though I can't seem to get on top of everything and anyone that has been to my house can testify to the fact that it has been crazy! We have been majorly purging and it is so freeing. Packing has been a little difficult with Nora trying to unpack everything, but slowly we are getting there.</div>Caleb and Hannahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11632193852293683070noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6526027751341838575.post-58932023076326850452010-08-31T00:06:00.001-07:002010-08-31T00:32:09.234-07:00Birthday Girl<div>So, we know she won't remember her birthday, but we tried to make it fun for her anyways.

A year ago, we met our sweet little Nora for the first time and we were amazed. Just when we think she can't get any better she does. A YEAR is hard to believe, it has gone by way too fast and I feel like time is slipping through my fingers, I try to slow it down and it keeps running away from me. To be honest, this milestone has brought me to tears a couple of times. It's hard being a mom and watching our little ones become less little, but mostly it's awesome. Nora you amaze me, you are beautiful, you are the perfect mix of sweet and fiery. We are so proud of how big and smart you are.</span>Caleb and Hannahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11632193852293683070noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6526027751341838575.post-50014113127112329042009-11-18T17:18:00.000-08:002009-11-18T17:28:30.330-08:00Dear Santa...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPn1gv8qkhkXKdjDuYXOF88ut-QXkm9hsuyUVZku2-EYJrtklL_ziI-XLbY22xPRRSpL1EKxTdyEI2sAia-1xnSuwt212Ki2ouIVsDbzPKCxAaJi_r2hnm-ix1n615iDqZ0ypuXeFUqQI/s1600/amy+butler+bag.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPn1gv8qkhkXKdjDuYXOF88ut-QXkm9hsuyUVZku2-EYJrtklL_ziI-XLbY22xPRRSpL1EKxTdyEI2sAia-1xnSuwt212Ki2ouIVsDbzPKCxAaJi_r2hnm-ix1n615iDqZ0ypuXeFUqQI/s400/amy+butler+bag.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405618773917505298" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Please deliver this <a href="http://www.amybutlerdesign.com">Amy Butler</a> bag for <a href="http://www.kalencom.com">Kalencom</a>.

It's a good thing we wanted to find out because it was fairly obvious that she had lady parts. The ultrasound tech, said "uh... do you want to know now what it is?" And I replied "I think I know, are those labia?". She cooperated through the entire ultrasound, so much that it was way shorter than it was supposed to be, I was wishing that she had saved some of her energy that she used to keep me up all morning, but instead she snoozed through the entire ultrasound.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">We couldn't be more excited to meet our little girl, she has already turned her dad to mush.

I met these wonderful ladies when I lived with them in the dorms at TWU. It was a fun girls weekend full of Tim Hortons, visiting our favorite Tokyo Garden and much needed catching up. Ashley spotted a maternity store and said "Look, Hannah we can shop for you" -with much sarcasm in her voice I might add. I made the mistake of mentioning that I heard a rumor that they have stomach inserts for trying on clothes, that was all I had to say for Ashley to decide we must check this out. Upon seeing it on me, she insisted that she and Anita must try on the strap-on-belly.

When I was a baby/toddler my stomach was always protruding as demonstrated below. My 'pregnant' stomach skills never involved Caleb until my senior year when the brilliant homecoming photographer arranged us so that it looked as though Caleb and I were having a maternity photo shoot, I will spare you the photo we both look rather unfortunate. Since then, we have always joked around, as you can see...<br /><br />This photo was from our first Christmas together<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpMCwXLpBZZteohUozf5S8tHLn48BIe9HTCOTBF3j_RHtS_1m6NgDE4x2XW0RXTnZtiT-fztIrKsiBCW7b9l47h2Y8g3Quxll-KVAeHYsNpwdvY8SeANPbrvkKzWypnMPBYcK7nYknhtk/s1600-h/xmas16.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpMCwXLpBZZteohUozf5S8tHLn48BIe9HTCOTBF3j_RHtS_1m6NgDE4x2XW0RXTnZtiT-fztIrKsiBCW7b9l47h2Y8g3Quxll-KVAeHYsNpwdvY8SeANPbrvkKzWypnMPBYcK7nYknhtk/s320/xmas16.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308461621809122690" border="0" /></a>And because we are creatures of habit we decided to take another pregnant photo this past December<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMmJR8bOOAa7JvGvH7OUEsmSES6zom8Igvr5fGeTPWiHamwV-sw_bydFc3AnnyVgC3sQ5gtc8nnemssIAEOMGLuHDBI4Ho1dPZzs32QTm7mMtyW0IDuyGvlz202gqx5VfiFV3XrbUGDjc/s1600-h/DSCN1422.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMmJR8bOOAa7JvGvH7OUEsmSES6zom8Igvr5fGeTPWiHamwV-sw_bydFc3AnnyVgC3sQ5gtc8nnemssIAEOMGLuHDBI4Ho1dPZzs32QTm7mMtyW0IDuyGvlz202gqx5VfiFV3XrbUGDjc/s320/DSCN1422.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308461413948451874" border="0" /></a><br />The irony comes in when we realize that although Caleb and I were on the '5 year plan' we were probably a couple of days pregnant when we took this photo in December. Oh, we thought we were so clever and funny, but so did God apparently. We are very thankful that he knows best and we have definitely been taught a lesson in humility and 'planning'.Caleb and Hannahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11632193852293683070noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6526027751341838575.post-48397399326995562312009-02-26T23:06:00.000-08:002009-02-26T23:12:11.503-08:00It is Official<span style="font-family: courier new;">Although, I had great aspirations of starting this blog...lets be honest nearly a year and a half ago...I set up the template for my blog at the end of December and it has now taken me nearly 3 months to make a single post. I am making it public that I will now be posting regularly to update you all on life in the Atkins home, what I've been cooking/crafting and beautiful things that inspire me along with whatever else happens to make it on here. I hope you check in every now and then and feel free to bug me if I am not posting enough, I work well under pressure and I'm a middle child so I am easily guilt tripped.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: courier new;">-Hannah</span>Caleb and Hannahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11632193852293683070noreply@blogger.com0
