Yes.. Well I forgot the password to this site so finally called Reuben to ask what it was. So here we are. Another post after like 5 months. We are in the midst of getting ready to move down to the basement. Paul as we speak is putting the plumbing in. Always nice to have running water. It’s been the main focus for us right now. Being able to make it liveable before the 1st of November. We already have 3 tenants ready so we have to be out of here. It’s been a challenging yet exciting experience for us. Hard work put in by Paul, and sometimes me. Im getting good at insulating. Marley loves to come downstairs and see dad’s progress. Whenever she hears a loud noise such as the saw, she says “Daddy!”
Marley is 18 months old. Talking a bunch. It’s so fun to be able to communicate with her like that. Today she asked her grandma De jong if she could draw. Took awhile to understand but eventually we get it because she is patient with us and persistent. We are sad summer is gone and excited for winter time. No more wood stove this year. 
I am so happy. 
HI
Update on De Jong life
Sorry it has been such a long time.. So much has happened with us. We are very excited that it is finally summer.. It was a long winter.. Filled with many trips to our backyard for wood since we heated our house with wood all winter. Lots of work but no heat bill spring came with many new things. Marley is now walking. Such a little girl. Our baby is officially gone. We enjoy her new milestones everyday.. She still is such a great, easy baby. She has such a happy domineer about herself. Rarely is she unhappy. She is very personable and likes to be with the ones who she loves and who love her. Paul is working on a 8 unit house that his parents purchased. It has been quite the project that many of you have witnessed.. I still work at Snapdragon Boutique, which is going well. We will post some pics.. Enjoy!
Marley 6 month
Marley turned 6 months on October 3rd. She is growing up so fast. Today she received 5 shots and cried for just a few minutes but has been fine since. She is very tough and generally is nothing but happy. Our biggest event with her yet was this past weekend when we had to bring her to the ER because she was absolutely beside herself. Like i said she is always happy and never cries for more than a few minutes but this past friday and saturday she cried basically non-stop. The doctors had checked everything out… they gave her a catheter to see if she had a urinary infection and a suppository. We believe the suppository is what cured her because later that night she filled her pants up and was happy. Our doctor today said to use Karo syrup to help with her constipation. Paul’s been sick and even took a sick day yesterday because he didn’t sleep at all the night before. We thought it’d be best if he didn’t use a chain saw going on no sleep and being sick. Good news about his job is that he got his 3rd raise in less than 3 months!!! It feels good for him to get recognition for the hard work he does. I am still working and being a mom. So life is good now. Our 1 year anniversary is in 3 days!! Time goes by so fast. Included are 2 pictures of Mar Mar.
