Long Weekend at Home


Typically on the August Long Weekend I have either been on a "girls' weekend" or Brad & I were at the Bisbee's cottage for their annual invite. Unfortunately with busy schedules & children, the Girls' Weekends have fallen to the side. We did however still have the invite to the Bisbees this year, but thought that the 3 hour drive might be a little much just after the baby & I am sure that none of the people there wanted to be getting up for the feedings, nor did I want anyone who was still up of their own free will at feeding time to take over that responsibility.

So, we spent a quiet weekend at home with our new family & settled in. It went very well, I think. Not until today did we see any of the "green eyed monster", but really it wasn't too bad. Sydney was a little suckier than we are used to & she wanted more "Mommy time" for things that she previously did not mind Nana's help for. She went for her first ride in the stroller behind the bike & we learned a very important lesson. We cannot call it a bike ride if she is going in the "stroller". To her, "bike ride" means she is going for a ride on her trike.

Jason, is still not giving us any real problems & each morning I wake wondering, "Is this the day the shoe drops?" He is a very content baby & is starting to spend a little more time awake. His wakeful periods are mainly spent looking around & trying to get his hands in his mouth. Believe it or not, I went the whole day & did not take a picture of him!!! And today is his one week birthday!!! I guess I will need to do that as soon as I log off.

Yesterday, Aunt Kim, Uncle Pete, and Regan came to meet the new little guy & we had a very nice visit. Regan & Sydney played great together & Regan did a very grown up job of holding Jason. Jason was his usual calm, content baby & you could almost forget he is in the room.

You know you, Brad, Sydney and Jason were more that welcomed at Bisbee North (we missed you all being there). Believe me, most of the cottage goers wouldnt have heard a thing, except Eddie and I. I think we've met someone who can top Brad's snoring.......it kept me awake far too long. Jason is a handsome little fella and your pics of him are getting my baby fever into full swing. So glad to hear your home safe and sound. Take care and we hope to meet your new addition soon.
