| Biggest news this week is that I finished my beading and got my amautiq. For those of you whom are unfamiliar with amautiqs, it is a parka that a woman wears to carry her baby in. If you look at the previous post you will see Amy in the brown amautiq with her son Henry in the back. The pics of mine aren't the best as we kind of took the pics in a hurry, the beads aren't actually sewn on and I haven't completely learned exactly where the amautiq is supposed to sit on me.
Regardless, here are some pics:
First, here is a close up of the bead work that one of the local teachers, Sandra, taught me how to make. i worked on them on and off for about a month and a half.
This is how they will eventually sit on my amautiq:
And at last, my amautiq:
As you can see in this next one, the beads are just semi pinned on to get part of the effect:
And my belly... taken today... 28 weeks and 3 days!
**Note pics were taken with my camera, that's why some of them are fuzzy **
Aside from that, Mike completed another parka which I'm sure he'll post in the next few days.
That's it for now.

| Although we haven't posted in a while I must say that there really isn't much to talk about. We're wrapping things up here for the next year. We have a new room mate (Jerry the gym teacher that I work with). He will be living in our house for the next year while we're in Ontario. This past weekend we had a photo shoot for those of us that live in Pang but are from the City of Kawartha Lakes. Seems so strange that living in this small community we'd have 6 adults and one baby from our hometown living here! Here is a group shot from that photo shoot:
We've been pretty busy as we're trying to wrap things up. I've been finishing up things as the school with the added pressure of getting my grade 12's ready for their Alberta departmental exams. Mike has been working like crazy on photography as well as sewing and all kinds of other stuff.
As of this Saturday I'll be starting my third trimester. More pics to following in the next few days! Can't believe how fast time is flying.
