2005 April 01 « Leah, Emma and Claire (and Jen and John)

I’m so happy it’s Friday. I’ve had a few gentle reminders that my site hasn’t been updated so this was my big plan for the evening. Oh how our Friday nights have changed.

We had a very nice week. The weather was really nice for most of the week and we got out. All the snow has melted now so the stroller isn’t full of mud when we get home. I’m surprised I haven’t got any warnings about leaving the stroller in the hall to dry. I can’t wait to have a garage! John and I took the girls out for a walk in the Baby Bjorns on Tuesday night. We face them outwards now and they really like it. Both of them laughed and talked the whole way.
The girls are doing well. Leah has started to say MumMumMum. They don’t associate words with anything yet but both of them continue to expand their vocabulary. They are both up and rocking all the time but I don’t know if they’ll actually crawl properly. They are both very quick at the commando crawl now. Jackson’s bowl has been moved to the counter and I keep the doors to the bathroom and our room shut.

I can’t believe our closing date is 26 days away. We went to see the house on Monday and they are almost done bricking. We were inside last week and they installed the wrong kitchen cabinets. They are the right style but they have a high gloss finish which is pretty terrible. We called Mattamy and they were very helpful. The kitchen contractor is going to make sure the right ones are in.

When we move we are going to have to change our internet service provider because Rogers doesn’t have service in Oakville. This means that I will have to move this site again. I haven’t decided what I am going to do yet but if you are interested in where I move it send me an email and I will make sure I let you know. I hope to have this sorted out by the end of the month but just in case I get caught up in moving I don’t want to cut any of you off! I have set up a new email address (johnandjen@rogers.com will also be gone). If you want to send us an email use holmesfamily@gmail.com.

Tomorrow we are going over to Jeff and Alicia’s. It could very well be the last time we see them before peanut Reitsma is born. We don’t have much else planned for the weekend.
Here are some recent pictures….
