We're Finally Home....

We are finally home. After 2 weeks of being away, it is nice to be back in our own beds. We had a great time in Ottawa spending time with family. We just wish that we were able to make it down to Southern Ontario as well. Time and Money, never enough of it these days. The nice thing is that Phil's parents will be coming up for a week near the end of August to spend time with us. We are really looking forward to it because it is so much harder to see them being 6 hours away.

We were able to spend some quality time with Janice, Jono and Stephen during the week we spent at the Drost's in June. (Of course quality time with everyone else too!) Funny thing is, it was so busy that we came back and never took 1 single picture. So if any of you have any pictures of Stephen and Chayton together, please send them to us! We would love to see them. Theresa and Joe's wedding was amazing as well. We had fun.....no more weddings for Chayton until he is older! haha

Leanne's brother and his family were at her parents for a week and we were also able to spend some nice time with them. It is a rare thing to have our whole family together. Warren and Jennifer are in N.B and with us in Petawawa and the parents in Ottawa...it is hard. Especially since there is only Warren and I.

Chayton and Maddie hadn't seen eachother since last October so it was nice to see them play. They eventually just started ignoring eachother (Well Maddie running away from Chayton) because I think Chayton was too rough for Maddie (She is so small compared to him), and with her teething, she liked her Mommy time mostly. Poor girl. Kale had a blast driving Grandpa's tractor with them. My parents have adopted the new name from Kale being "Momma and Poppa Tractor". And that is ALL he wanted to do. It was funny, he would be up at 6 am saying "Poppa Tractor".

The last week we more of less enjoyed with my mom and ourselves. We actually got to go out for Dinner and a Movie, of course on the HOTTEST DAY OF THE YEAR...LITERALLY. It was 48 degrees and it wasn't even cool in the restaurant. BUT, we were going to enjoy that quiet dinner for 2 no matter what...as it NEVER happens! We then saw "Pirates of the Carribean 2" and had a great time. Chayton was even sleeping when we got home!

In other news.....CHAYTON IS GETTING 2 TEETH...we think. He is really cranky, poopy, sleepy, and has 2 very odd marks/bumps/white things poking through slightly! We are no experts on it...I mean, he hasn't had any teeth up until now. But, I think we are having a Teething Breakthrough. YIPEE! We will keep you posted. Who knows, we may be embarassed in a week for thinking this way! We will definetly take pictures when it happens!

Well, thats it for now. We would have posted sooner...but Dial Up, that is all I will say.
