Super Long Weekend
I just want to know how parents survived in the "old days" when I was a kid. Especially travelling. The portable DVD player didn't work on the way home from Orangeville today....holy hell what a drive. I tried to break it up a bit by going to MacTier overnight before heading home to NB. Seems like a good idea....but when your son doesn't like to be in his car seat for any length of time....then it becomes fun.
Tanner cried from Port Sydney to NB. For those of you who doesn't know where Port Sydney is....that is about an hour and half. Straight. Fun. (I can think of another word to use...but I am polite.) I pulled over on three separate occasions to rock the poor guy to sleep. When he was just asleep I would put him back in, jump in the car and head onto the hwy.....then the screaming would start again. The closer we got to NB, he would calm down or take a breath...which is when Lilly would yell to scare him or laugh loudly....only to result in scaring the bejesus out of him and it all started over again. By South River all three of us were crying. The dog....she was shaking....like I said...good times.
I can't remember way back when...but I do remember playing games in the back seat with my brother to pass the time. Battleship, Eyespy, euchure......mind you every game we played resulted in us fighting.....but I don't remember how my parents kept it together when we were babies.....With a nice glass of wine when they got home I am sure....hey...did I mention I am having a Vex while we speak???????? My name is Lian and I am a Vexaholic.
On the other side of the coin, it was a great weekend. Cold and rainy...but great. We got to see my Grandma (GG) and Aunt Marilyn. We also got to see Deej, Cyn and Patricia. (And my soon to be niece or nephew.....:o)) Won't see them again til Christmas in K/W in December. Too long.
I also got some Christmas shopping done in Barrie on Monday. So overall it was a great weekend. Poppa was glad to have Sophie for the weekend....and MaMa was just happy to see the kiddies.
Time for bed.
Cheers
Lian

Yeah Yeah...it has been awhile....
So I have been reminded that it has been 46 days since we posted last....I wonder how long it has been since I have actually posted something....instead of "nagging" at Craig to do it.... :o)
To sum things up in a nutshell...we have been busy...and sick. The kids are both sick again. The second time in 3 weeks. We looked online and found out that kids get colds at least 6-8 times a winter. Crap. Winter hasn't even hit yet.
Craig has been busy with work and webpages he does for other people. And I have been busy with the kiddies and helping out our friends Cindy and Dean, by looking after her little guy Jimmy.
Tanner the Tank has been getting longer and longer by the day. (I will have to get Craig to upload a pic cause I have no idea how to do that.) He will be 6 months next week and is the happiest little guy I know. (not to mention the cutest)
Lilly has hit the "twos" running....with no signs of stopping. She loves to mimic me with her "baby" (which I think is the cutest thing ever...she put her "baby" on the potty the other day and came to get me to tell me that "baby" was "po po" ing) and loves to help me with "Nanner". We are still working on the potty training with her. A work in progress I guess.
September was a busy month for some of our friends and family too. Micheline and Mike had their twin boys (at 31 weeks) and everyone is doing fine...well, she needs to rest...but hey I have been there too. Chris and Curtis were born 3lbs each....and are slowly getting bigger everyday. I think I may stop by and meet them this week....well from the window outside their hospital room.
Lisa and Alex had their baby girl Jamie the day after Mich. Cindy went down to Georgetown to help out.
And finally Alison and Todd FINALLY had their baby girl last week....Oct 5th. I am an "Auntie" again. Grace Audrey Chayka weighed in at a whopping 6lbs 13 ounces. If I can get a hold of one of the pics she sent me....this little princess is priceless. Lilly calls her Baby Grace.
And I can't go without mentioning my other niece. She arrived August 10th to our good friends Diane and Pete. Lacey the boxer puppy!!!! I think I sent out some pics of her with Lilly.
Tanner also had a big moment last week. He rolled over all by himself...both ways. That's my boy!
So like I said, I will "nag" at Craig to publish some pics tomorrow.
Did I mention that we are suppose to get snow for the rest of the week??? Really got to save some dough to visit Jennyrennyroo in the spring now....looks like it will be a long winter.
Cheers
