The Living's Easy?

I thought these were supposed to be the LAZY hazy days of summer. Life has been hectic to say the least. We had many visitors, a couple of new roomies, and a wedding to boot! Frankly, I'm ready for a bit of a va-cay. We started things off with a birthday party at Nico's. Hayden and Daisy May had a lot of fun at Nico's dress up Princess party. Hayden especially loved the blue icing and all of the teeny tiny pieces of toys there were to play with.

There seemed to be a lot of partying at Dibbie's house. It got lots more fun because Dibbie had some new friends for Hayden to play with at her house. Kelton, Hudson, and their mommy Jenni were down from Texas. Hayden had fun playing Ninja Turtles and eating all sorts of goodies while swimming in Dibbie's pool. 

Nico and Aunty Heidi also came in for a visit right about the same time that Shawn and Sara moved in. Hayden and Daisy are having a lot of fun having permanent buddies in the house. 

On top of all of that fun, Uncle Dan and his brother-in-law (also named Dan), also came into town to play.

Once all of the visitors left, we decided to take off too. We headed to Smiths Falls to drop Hayden off at Grandma and Grandpa's house where he stayed in his very own room in their basement, played in the pool, took a few boat rides, and generally had the time of his life. Meanwhile, Daisy May came along with us to Ray Ray and Jenny's very beautiful wedding. If Jenny hadn't been so utterly stunning, Daisy May just might have stolen the show. So many people fell in love with her including Jenny's dad. She had a lot of people lining up to hold her which was just fine by me. Their wedding was a breathtaking event and was worth all of the energy that everyone put into it. Hayden even made an appearance in the form of a cardboard cutout. He participated in my speech and then became the life of the party, posing for pictures, cutting it up on the dance floor, and even sneaking into Jenny's niece's sleeping bag. 

I would like to say that our little Daisy May is adjusting well to the summer heat. Unfortunately, Daisy is proving to be a little bit needy. She seems to prefer being held by her dear old Mama which can prove to get a little old. It's a good thing she's so darn cute.

Here are some quick pics for Aunty Alexis and Uncle Dan who are sitting in an internet cafe in Europe. We miss you!

More to come about our weekend at Princess Nico's birthday party soon.

New House

We are officially in and loving our new home and hood. Here you can see us walking through our quiet streets which are completely void of drunk neighbours and full of kids, dogs, and friendly peeps. We've got sweet raspberries growing in our backyard and even a leftover swing in our covered patio. Scott and Hayden are enjoying how much easier it is to maintain our lawn here. All in all, we're pretty much living it up and loving every minute of it.

Hayden spent his last days with Laura last week. We are sad to say goodbye to her as a daycare provider but excited to meet up with her for playdates. Tomorrow I will officially become a stay at home mom with two kids. Yikes.

Daisy's regressed a little since the move. She's a little attached to Mama and is very particular when it comes to sleeping arrangements. We made a bit of progress today when she finally drank from a bottle. Yipee for me!!!

Lots more fun ahead this summer so stay tuned.

New

Here are some shots of our new house! Included are shots of Hayden's excitement upon moving in, his first night in a big boy bed (which used to belong to Daddy and Grandpa!), and Daisy and Hayden wrestling with all the space in our new place.

We are still in the midst of chaos but its' gone a lot smoother than predicted. This is due mostly to the help of Ray Ray, Jenny, Grandma, Grandpa, Nai Nai, and Yeh Yeh. Thank you!

On the Move

We're down to the wire. A couple of more days til our big move but we're still managing to fit in some summer fun like:

Sweaty afternoon naps.

Daisy's new trick is turning over. She can roll over to her front. She loves performing this trick but hates getting stuck on her front. It's a terrible dilemma for her. 

St Jean Baptiste day with the Carnies. Loads of dirty fun.

And Canada! See you on the other side soon!

Although we should be packing and getting ready for our big move, we're still managing to fit some fun in.

Happy Canada Day everyone!
