We’re back from our holiday.
We had a nice week up north at the cottage. The weather was terrible the first day then got consistently better as the week went on. You could tell by the temperature of the water just how cold the summer has been but we were all tough and went swimming.
The girls had lots of visitors over the week. Gary, Nancy, Erin, Darryl, cousin Christine and Olaf came to visit on Sunday. On Tuesday Uncle Van and Aunt Bonnie (the girls have two Aunt Bonnies) came to meet the girls for the first time. They brought their kayaks with them and the guys had some fun in the water. Aunt Bonnie and Tom came for dinner on Wednesday night.
We all had a very relaxing week. Having so many people to help with the girls gave John and I some time to relax. He fished and I got to read a book! I’m reading the Da Vinci Code - I’m not done yet but so far it’s really good.
The girls continued their good sleeping habits and consistently went 7 hours. It makes such a difference when you can put them to bed at 11 and they sleep til 6. One morning they went until 7:30am! Nana helped with all the morning feeds and one morning we managed to get both girls fed and the pumping done in 33 minutes. It normally takes me an hour and a half when I’m by myself.
Both girls are smiling alot more now and will do it on demand if you are willing to make tons of faces at them and talk in a silly voice. They are both getting alot stronger and can lift their heads right up and look forward while on their tummies.
On our way home today we stopped in for lunch with Great Grandpa Holmes. He just loves seeing the girls and showing them off to the neighbours. We were both happy to be home today. We all missed Jackson and it was nice to see her.
