The exercise:

Write about: making amends.

A lot that has been happening around here has been left off the blog recently. I would like to start making up for that today.

Mine:

Obviously I've been kept pretty busy between the farm and Max recently. I don't think I've kept that much of a secret.

I've been doing the farmers market in Penticton by myself since Rebecca left as well. Partially that's been because it's honestly easier to do it by myself than to do it with both Kat and Max there. My only breaks from the stall are to be with Max and any time we're both trying to work we still have to keep an eye on him and/or keep him entertained.

But, as I said, that's only part of the reason. The other is that Kat's been feeling too ill to come to the market. We're hoping that will change soon, though, now that she's at the end of the first trimester.

Yup, baby number two is due to join us in early April of next year. Max is convinced that he's going to have a little sister. We'll hopefully be able to confirm or deny that sometime in November.

In closing, I'd like to share the conversation we had almost two months ago when we told Max the news:

Kat: You know how Aunty Becky has a baby in her belly?*

Max: Yeah.

Kat: Well, Mommy has a baby in the belly too!

Max: Do you have a baby in your belly, Dada?

*Oh, yeah. Max is also getting another cousin, as of February of next year. It's officially a baby boom here on the farm.
