Heading out for the weekend...

...and I can't wait!!! We are going to my Aunt & Uncle's cottage as soon as Ron gets home from work today. Everything is packed up and ready to go so all we need is Ron...and 5:30 can't come soon enough. I guess the good thing about leaving that late is that we'll HOPEFULLY miss most of the crappy Toronto traffic. We probably won't get to the cottage until 10:30 or 11 tonight but that's ok - it's still better than driving tomorrow morning and wasting half of our day in the car. Thankfully my parents are able to take a lot of our stuff because the Escape can hold a lot but not everything required for 2 kids under 2 :) My parents are taking Ron's truck because they're towing the sailboat as well so the truck can hold a lot of the bigger stuff (2 playpens, 2 strollers, food for the girls and beer! lol). That just leaves us with our clothes, a highchair and the bouncy chair so I think we can handle that.

I really can't believe it's Friday already and that Natalie will be 6 months old next week. That means I have to go back to work in 6 months...wow!!!


I got a kick @$$ deal on this day bed for Rachel. She seems to approve :)

Daddy & Rachel - so sweet
I had to post this picture because Rachel's hair makes me laugh

She's getting very good at putting clothes on herself now.
Natalie has been really 'chomping down' lately and I finally caught it with the camera.

Pinching cheeks

My new favourite picture of the girls
Look at those eyes - she's gonna be a heartbreaker!

Yup - training her early. She loves to dust so why not?

Me & Rachel at Lora's house (our road trip to St. Catharine's on Wednesday)

Playing in Ashley & Owen's playroom.

Cuddle time
Eating her first Farley's biscuit.
Rubbing the kitty's belly - I'm sure it didn't feel so good since it's supposed to be to rub your shoes/boots on.

Ron & I were laughing so hard at Rachel last night - what an outfit - nice hat & shoes, Rach! (you can definitely tell she put them on herself)

Weekly cow picture taken this morning
I wish I looked this cute in the morning!

She just needs to figure out how to put the velcro tab through
She's just too cute, isn't she? :)
Have a fantastic weekend!!!

Toronto traffic always astounds me. Ya gotta wonder where everybody is coming from and going to at all hours. Still, I know what you mean about missing the worst of it.

Rachel is just so beautiful, Jules - she is growing up to be a beautiful little girl (well, of course she would, since she was a beautiful baby)! Same goes for Natalie - what a doll. :) I can't believe it's been 6 mos since her birth!!! :)

Take care. :)

Love Elizabeth and Calder
