Growing Up
Well as probably any of you who are actually reading this blog know it has been a crazy summer for us, some very bad and some good. We hope to post some before and after pictures of the new house soon, but that's not what today' s post is about. Today, it is about how fast the kids are growing up before our very eyes. On the weekend, Lewis celebrated his 2nd birthday. He is more like a child than a baby every day (although he does have some "baby" habits that we hope don't follow him right to adulthood, such as his extreme soother attachment! - he is the only child I've seen try to climb INTO his crib, because the soother was in there, and he was scaling the outside yelling "hold it, hold it!!"...) But besides a few things, he is becoming a walking, talking, running, yelling machine, who every morning announces his grand intentions for the day, to "pay toys" and can't wait to get downstairs to his cars, train table, and other toys. We planned to have a BBQ with close family to celebrate his special day, but as on the day he was born, the weather was cold and rainy so the party moved inside. But it was nice to have family celebrate his birthday with us, minus one special Grandma who was missed very much...The birthday boy:
As part of the long weekend, Jason, Michaelia and Oscar came down from Edmonton and we enjoyed a family outing to the Zoo. Here is a picture of the three cousins, Oscar you can see too is growing up quickly, he celebrated his first birthday at the beginning of August.
Two days after Lewis' birthday, Jaina began Kindergarten! It's hard to believe she is almost 5 already. We are loving the location of our new house, it's just a 5 minute walk to the school. Jaina is in French Immersion and has already learned a couple of french words (and has many more of her own invention...) She has already also met 2 girls in her class who live right down the street from us. It's been a bit of an adjustment having to be ready to leave the house shortly after 8 am, as we're sure 5 mornings a week of school will be. But so far after the first 2 days she is loving school and we hope that continues. Here are a couple of pictures from the first day of school:

They grow up way too fast. Great pictures!
They are growing up much to fast!!
I wish that we could press the "pause" button on all of our babies for just a little bit longer. Lewis's cake looks super yummy!! I love the pictures too.
Hopefully we will be able to come and visit you all soon.
Give the kids a kiss from me!!
