Papers Signed

We met with the lawyers this week to sign off on all the papers - and to give them a big fat bank draft with our down payment. In 1 week we start the move.

I was able to get the bank to agree to transfer the fund to the lawyer the day prior to the possesion date so I can get in early on Friday and start cleaning. I have the carpet cleaners coming in the afternoon as well as the Shaw guy to hook us up with cable and internet. Speaking of which take note that our phone number will change to a (403) number by next week... we will keep you posted on if the number stays the same and just the area code changes or if the entire number will change.

I have a feeling it's going to be a long week.... the anticipation is going to keep me up at night I'm sure. I can't wait :0) I will sure miss living at my parents place, afterall I've been here more than 6 months now and with me being home all day I've gotten used to living here. Plus they have been more than helpful with the girls.

On another note - Zoé will be 5 months old next Thursday. She's now learned to roll all the way around and has started murmuring MaMa :0) Holy has she been changing everyday. She's shown a HIGH interest in eating and drinking, but I'm going to wait until she's closer to 6 months before I start feeding her, she's big enough as it is and is only on breast milk. I still haven't gotten her to take a soother, nor a bottle which may pose a bit of an issue come vacation time as I really wasn't planning on breastfeeding her while on our trip... with having to go back to work early I also wanted to start sending her to day care a few hours a few days a week in Feb, but can't do that if she's still breastfeeding. I have a feeling that the reason she's not taking the bottle nor a soother is because she turns her tongue in her mouth sideways.... it's as if she chews on it.... really quite weird.

Cynthia has finally gotten over the nasty cold she's been dragging around with her, and is starting a growth spurt, she's always asking for food, saying I'm Hungry and wanting more at breakfast and dinner. I'm not worried about her putting on a few pounds, she could use it.

Tomorrow Cynthia goes to her first Birthday Party for one of her friends at daycare. It'll be nice to meet some of the parents of the kids at day care. I hardly see any of them let alone have time to chat a bit with them when we cross paths at the daycare center.

Looking forward to this weekend too.... at least I won't be alone all day... it's gotten kinda lonely sitting at home during the day with just me and Zoé. Also we have a photo shoot with our favorite photographer :0)

The coundown continues

I'm started to get super excited about moving.... T Minus 12 days until Moving day. We are meeting with the lawyers this week to hand over the down payment and to sign up all the papers. I've booked the U-Haul truck.... the utilities are almost all set to go... now we just need to pray it will not be as BUTT awful cold as it was last weekend.

Zoé's been super sick this week, all due to our walking germ Cynthia *lol* She's always got something, poor kid. Today is actually the first day since last week that Zoé's being herself ( happy cheerful kid ).

New news... Claude found himself a new job working in Internet security which is very similar to what he was doing at Bell... and to add his office isn't far from mine so we will get to car pool together :0) I actually miss carpooling with him. We used to carpool when he was still working at Air Canada when we met and moved to Vaudreuil. It just made sense seeing we were only 10 mins away from each other.

Sorry that I haven't posted any recent pictures of the girls.... I've attached a few that I took last week when they were both sick.

What's New....

What's new you ask.... Zoé turned 4 months and is changing everyday. Most nights she now sleeps through them *thankgod!* She now holds herself up very well and wants to sit up more to see what is going on around her. She loves the jumperoo and interacts with most of the toys on it now. She hasn't learned how to roll from tummy to back yet so she is still getting upset when she rolls over and gets stuck on her belly.... but I have a feeling that it won't be long now.

I've been trying to get her to start taking a bottle but haven't succeeded yet. Some days she drinks a bit and others she just won't deal with it at all.... kinda frustrating but I'm sure she'll get the hang of it soon enough.

We are slowly starting to get things rolling for the wedding trip in Jan. We have our vaccine's set up  for tomorrow.... and Zoé's will be in Dec as she has to get her regular 4 month shots first. I already have some stuff put away like floaters, and goggles that I got cheap at end of season sales.

As for moving.... only 4 more weeks before we take possession of the house. We have bought a new couch and love seat for the main living room as well as a washer and dryer, both of which will be delivered the week after we move in. I also have a carpet cleaner coming the day we take possession so that they can clean the carpets before we start moving furniture in. I'm getting excited about this now.... it will be a lot of work, but one room at a time.

Telus Spark

This past weekend we met up with Andrea, Mike and Huxley and went to the new science center. It was fun... obvisouly there were a few things that Cynthia was too young for but overall we had a good time.

When you first walk in there is a main courtyard type area and there were Hula Hoops everywhere so Cynthia wanted to show us that she could hula hoop.... too funny.





We also found a booth where we could put on silly glasses and it would take a picture of us.
