May Update

I realized that I haven't been here in a while and a whole month has passed and it's been a busy one, so let me get everyone up to speed. Grace started solid food once in a while and it has become more consistent. She spits much of it out, but is getting used to the texture and taste. On May 5 we went to "baby Ryan"s first birthday and Nathalie had fun. The Piniata was an intersting challenge for a bunch of kids age 7 and under. Thanks for a fun day "Aunt" Tanya and "Uncle" Lance! That Monday, Shannon started his new job and it was great for the first week but then they sent him away the following week and the week after that and that brings us to this weeek and..... he's gone again! We are glad he enjoys working at this job but all of us are getting tired of Daddy never being around. On Mother's day we had Grace dedicated to God at Church. So many of our friends and family were able to come to church and to our little party afterwards. It is a blessing to have people around us who love and support us. Mommy was bored one afternoon and showed Nathlaie how to build "Fort Couch", this was a great thrill and (although you can't see in the picture) Daddy was the first one in and would not come out so there wasn't much room for Nathalie on the inside. Needless to say, this was a hit at our house. This weekend was a busy one. On Friday night Mommy took Nathalie to The Fun Factory (a place in Wal-Mart) where they build a stuffed animal and dress it up, for a party. It was an hour and a half and there were games and a craft and of course the building of the animal and choosing the outfit. Saturday started with swim lessons and fun on the run at the Rec Centre for Nathalie. Then home to do some baking for our lifegroup family BBQ in the afternoon. Before we could go we had to saw off some branches from our 2 trees that got broken from the heavy wet snow we had on Wednesday. Sunday we tried to start digging out some of the landscaping disasters the last people put in and have decided to hire somebody. Anyone know a good landscaper in this area? On Sunday we also noticed that if we laid Grace on her back on her palymat and left the room, when we came back she was on her tummy. We finally saw her do it on Monday. She is rolling over much earlier than her big sister did and we thought Nathalie was ahead of the curve!!! Monday was a busy day too, but I'm going to save that for a seperate post, just as soon as I figure out how to download the camera by myself.....
