One week today

• my packers will have packed
• the truck will be loaded and on its way to Calgary
• my suitcases will be packed
• the cleaners will have cleaned
• Chris will have his last day at work
• I Will board a plane with 3 kids and 2 dogs

Seriously, doesn't seem real, but something tells me the flight out West with my 15 month old will bring me right back to reality! Oh the fun!

Sarah has had a fever the last couple of days. Hopefully it will all run its course and be done before the big day! She is saying the word BABY now, it is very cute.

Boys are doing well. They keep asking about when they will get to see their friends. Hopefully, they will get to see some of their friends this coming weekend.

Jacob wanted to know if his room would still be painted the same. He is so funny about that stuff.

I will miss things about Waterloo for sure, but there are somethings I WILL NOT MISS!

1. Renting - I hate it! I will be glad to be back in my OWN house again
2. Gardening - Tooooooooooooo much of it here!
3. Pool - yes I do not enjoy having a pool. Probably has a lot to do with renting part and the fact that the rainy season we have had makes it difficult to keep up with the pool.
4. Ashfault driveways
5. Iron bar stool chairs

This house might be bigger by actual square footage, but our house in Calgary has a layout I like so much better. Looking forward to it! I miss my kitchen, appliances that work, kid friendly backyard. 10-12 days and all my stuff should be there.

Van is on a truck on on its way to Calgary. I can't believe we are half way through the month of July! I have downloaded some pictures to our other computer so I will post something more exciting later.

The boys are off on their big day! I hope they have lots of fun!

What is going on here.

We finally got the lap top back so hopefully I can get back to some regular blogging!

I have been disappointed with the weather here! I still have yet to feel the heat! Or really even the humidity thing! Like come on already lets have some regular sunshine! I don't want to see anymore weather forecasts with rain drops coming out of the clouds! I only have a few more weeks to enjoy this pool!

The boys are going to half day camps this week. They play games, do crafts, and more games. Some of their friends from school also registered so they were quite happy to see them when they got there. It made for quite a quiet afternoon around here.

Sarah is doing well. Maybe a little too well. She has figured out how to pull her chair over to the couch and use it to climb up onto the couch! She is so proud of herself when she does it too! It is amazing how much she is changing. No baby here anymore. We have a big girl now. Her hair is getting longer. She looks so cute with little bows in her hair but she won't keep them in. Her hair is almost long enough for pig tails! If I manage to find some really small elastics I will post a picture. She loves getting her hair brushed so it will be funny to see her reaction to the pig tails!

Moving stuff is all booked. I just need to book my flights home! That will be on this weeks to do list! I have a few other things I need to settle but other than that the big stuff is done.

Next week we are looking forward to visitors from the West! Time is flying by again and before we know it we will be unpacking boxes in Calgary.

Our One year Old!

Isn't she cute! She has been walking and standing since she was 10 Months old!
We got these necklaces in Maui and she is always wearing them. She loves to put them on.

Once she got this bear to hold she didn't want to let go of it. She is a little girl now. A baby no more. Walking and running around. Climbing too! She so cute with her own baby. She follows some instructions like come sit down, or go get your baby. She is trying really hard to say lots of different words. Doggie and duckie are two favorites right now.

She loves the pool. She loves to go in with Daddy. She is pretty good about not trying to go in it herself. She calls for Chris to come get her and take her in the pool for a ride. She has been such a blessing to us. We enjoy her so much. She is such a cuddly baby. I can't believe the year is gone and she is now 14 months old.

The boys are so good with her. Nathan is always singing to her and Jacob likes to make sure she is safe. It is fun to watch them together.

Three great kids. We really are blessed!

Park Play!

The kids love water! Although this beach had too much bird droppings for my liking!
Such a big girl now!

Couldn't get a cute picture of him playing because while swinging he let go and fell off. Scared us! I am pretty sure it scared him too. But he was okay!

And our first MONKEY!

This was a cool park with a great climbing area.

THe parks here in Ontario are always busy.

She loves the swing!

A visit to the CN Tower. We love spending time together and we have a lot we want to see out here before we move back home. The best part is we can do it together!
What a view!

1) Well we have had moving companies in to do estimates. Chris's work will decide. I am very thankful for packers! I could NOT imagine trying to get it all ready.

2) 1 Month of school left! WOW!

3) 58 days until I come home I think....if we go with a certain moving company

4) I will be going back to work. Teaching grade 5 at a pretty amazing school! I am totally looking forward to it!

5) Baby ducks are back in the yard as of today. I don't know if it is the same ones. They look the same size. Shouldn't they seem a little bigger now? Also, there are only 9 of them.

6) Our family found a Robin's nest in the backyard. It had an egg in it and we checked it today and the baby bird has hatched!! The kids were quite excited.

7) The peas, onions and corn have all started to grow in the garden. And I mean real ones not the ones farmed on facebook!

8) Still haven't gone camping yet. We hope to go somewhere soon. Any suggestions for Southern Ontario?

9) I picked up Sarah's 1 year pictures and I will post them when the CD comes it. That will be way easier than scanning them.

10) Time is starting to feel like it is rushing by....I hope it slows down!
