The Colwill Life

It's Wednesday and I am posting mid week, thats impressive.
I have been working a fair bit, mostly at Birchmount (the school I did my internship at). I also take care of a little girl named Kaitlyn 2 - 3 times a week for the evenings.

Hailey is crazy busy... the busiest child I know. I am sure that every parent says that but after working at a daycare for 3 years and teaching, I still agree to it. She keeps Ryan and I on our toes. She is very smart and loves exploring everything.... my motto is "if she isn't hurting herself or someone else than she can explore what she wants too" but boy oh boy.....
She runs full force where ever she goes and can't be stopped. She understands and everything and it is really neat to see how all of a sudden you ask her something and she will do it. Not talking a whole lot yet, still a lot of jibberish, or swedish... not sure yet. Her vocab consists of "Mom, Dad, Dexter, Nanny, No, bye, hi, puppy, juice, cheese, and Dora". Pretty extensive.. I know...lol. At least she has the basics, Dora and cheese.

Ryan is still at Kent full time, he is the supervisor of the kitchen dept. He is also working nights, 5 days a week at Purolator.... he is super tired, but doing what he can to get us through. Hopefully I will start getting some consistent paychecks. Gotta love supply teaching.
He is also in the application process of the RCMP recruitment. He has passed the written test, the paperwork, and passed the PARE today!!!!
We are really hopeful that this will work out. It's the interviews and lie detector tests next. Who knows, he could be headed to Regina in a couple months!!

That is about all that has been happening here.
It's busy, but hopefully we will start to see some pay off..... :P


We are heading to Chester next Friday till the following Tuesday, so it would be nice to be able to see some of you who live that way.... let me know.

Wow, that's so cool, I could definitely see Ryan as a police officer. He has that build. And I have also babysat many children and I also agree that Hailey is definitely the most active. LOL she's such a cutie!
