Busy Times!

As you can see, it's been awhile since I've written.  Life has been busy, some days I feel like I haven't had time to get anything done yet I haven't done anything besides kept myself and 2 children alive!  Who knew that that would take so much time (insert hysterical laugh here)?!

It's amazing how fast time has flown by!  Our little James will be 3months old on the 11th!

During the last 3 months, James has had the opportunity to meet most of his Great Grandparents!

He also met his 2 uncle's that he had yet to meet

And unfortunately we said good bye to another uncle.  Uncle Dan has moved to Dawson Creek for work. We miss him already!

James has started smiling and laughing, he loves sucking on his hands when he can get them to his mouth but he still won't take a soother or a bottle!  He loves to eat and is already more than half of Hannah's weight, weighing in at 14 pounds!

Hannah loves her baby brother.  She did a few trial bites and pinches on him within the first few weeks but once she learned that that was not acceptable, she stopped and gives hugs and kisses instead!  She loves to play with James,

watches him sleep,

she tries to feed him,

and she loves to snuggle with him!

So what else have we been up to you ask?  During the July long weekend we spent a few nights in Vancouver house sitting for Carl's cousin.  We spent time just walking around, did a bit of shopping and took the kids to the aquarium!  It was a much needed relaxing weekend!

We also went on our first camping trip of the season!  If it weren't for my parents air conditioned trailer and their assistance, I'm not sure we would have attempted camping this year!  We stayed local and just went to a campground in Fort Langley.  Hannah enjoyed her toys and the swimming pool and James enjoyed the air conditioning

In July we visited a paediatrician for Hannah to see if we could figure out why she had to be hospitalized so much over the winter.  The doctor is hopeful that it is not asthma and was instead just caused by Hannah's small air ways.  Although we won't know until this fall if that truly is the case, we were encouraged to know that we are likely in the clear!  To celebrate, Hannah had her first very own ice cream cone!

We recently managed to get out to the zoo with Hannah's cousin Avery.  Both girls had a fun time walking around and checking out the animals!  

During all this, we also took possession of our new townhouse

and moved!  We officially got the keys on June 30th and moved in the following weekend.  I'd be lying if I said it wasn't stressful but after a month of being here, we are starting to feel settled.  We'd still like to find a few pieces of furniture and Carl is going to begin his journey as a "handy man" by building a storage unit in the garage!  Overall, we are really enjoying the place!  Here is Hannah in her new tub :)
