Our week, so far

Colin has been home for almost a week already.  Time goes by too quickly as he is scheduled to leave again on Sunday night for a red-eye flight back to Brazil.  Sadly, he comes to Canada on "vacation" and goes "home" to Brazil.

I try not to focus on how many days we have left together, I just want to spend time together!

We've taken it easy and Isla loved it that he was able to join us at her "Play and Splash" class on Tuesday.  I've been taking her for the last few weeks (it runs until mid-June) and she loves it but it's a bit more special with Daddy!  Colin and I were with her together during the "play" portion and then Colin went with her in the pool.  That girls' mouth was never closed - she was either talking (alot) or swallowing water ;-)  Anyways, she loved it and I had fun watching her from a different angle.  She's a crazy kid on Tuesday mornings!

After the class we travelled to Ajax to spend time with Aunt Lynn and Uncle Jim.  Isla loved it of course as she gets spoiled rotten and has a giggly good time.  Normally when we go to visit we take her Pack'n'Play for her to sleep in but she's outgrowing it in both height and weight so this time she slept on a mattress placed on the floor.  Despite a room trashing, it went well.  In retrospect it was probably our fault for leaving the diaper bag and our (open) suitcase in a room with a curious 2 year old!  No harm done, just a big mess and alot of ripped up paper...    Colin laid down beside her, eventually she fell asleep and by soothing her back to sleep once or twice, the night went well.   I'm not ready to convert her crib to a day bed yet though, all three of us are happy with the crib for the time being.

Today we ventured to the St. Jacobs Market.  It's been a damp week and today was no different but it was OK.  I was hoping she could go to the petting zoo but it wasn't a petting zoo kinda day.  We came home with half of our grocery shopping done including some good deals on strawberries and blueberries!

By the way, there has been movement at Immigration Canada  - October 13!  A wee bit closer to our application  :-)

'Til next time,
