We're Off on a Vacation!!!!

This week continued to be another busy one as we attempted to get things done around the house in preparation for our three week vacation. Addison and I are heading to Ottawa for a week visiting friends; where Greg will later join us and continue our vacation to Montreal and then to family cottages at Fairlane Lake. Addison will have her first chance to meet Nan nan (Greg's mom) and Uncle Rick, whom have been following our blog waiting for the opportunity to see our little bundle of joy. We all cannot wait. Living so far away is the most unfortunate part of being away from family, but when we do get together the meetings are good.

We began the week doing our normal routine, while we awaited the arrival of Auntie Ruth and Uncle Greg who were driving us back to Ottawa. This meant play time, eating, sleeping and bathing for Addy, and running around like crazy for mommy. While taking her bath on Thursday before weigh in, Addy had a visitor; Fergus who wanted to join her in the tub. We of course did not let him but he stood by and made sure Addy made it out of the tub unharmed. He is such the protector of her, it really is amazing.

We finished out the week gearing up for the weekend and heading out to Bayfest again, this time to see Country Legend Brad Paisley. Addy got herself all dressed up and ready to go but thankful to our favourite guardian angels, Addy again had a wonderful evening away from mommy and daddy, hanging with Auntie Mo and Uncle Scott. (Whom I may add, gave up an evening out with friends to babysit our little munchkin) In the absence of family we have friends, who really are extensions of our families.

On Saturday Uncle Greg and Auntie Ruth also showed up and we snuck in a few day trips before we took off on the long haul back to Ottawa. Addy worked her charms of course and got Uncle Greg under her spell enough that we could snap this cute picutre of him interacting with her, the man who swore of children. You are one smart little cookie Addy and daddy is going to be in trouble.

So I will sign off for a little bit and catch up with things upon our return. We'll leave you with this clip of Addy showing off her cute little giggles as she is entertained by Auntie Ruth. Talk to everyone soon and hope we all get to enjoy some nice summer weather.
