Summer time, when the living is easy...
Well I've decided to try blogging, after having seen some friends' amazing blogs :) It seems like a great way to keep updated on our busy lives, especially when we all don't get a chance to see eachother too often. So here goes...
We are enjoying life as new parents, and Kaelyn is entering the most amazing age where she seems to do something new every day. We are constantly amazed by how open she is to new experiences. Last week she tried her Jolly Jumper, swam in the lake, rolled over from back to tummy, and ate solids for the first time. She loved them all! Actually, she wasn't too thrilled about the rolling part because she rolled onto the laminate floor and sort of stunned herself. Still, we are soooo impressed.
We have sold our 2 bedroom condo, and are anxiously awaiting our new house which is being built now. We're hoping it will be finished October 1st. It's a duplex in a new subdivision in Vernon, close to Okanagan Lake and will give us way more space. We thought we'd be able to stay in our condo until Baby #2 came alone, but shortly after Kaelyn arrived we were feeling pretty cramped in here. Our new place has three bedrooms upstairs, 2 and a half bathrooms, a double garage, a crawl space (yay for storage!), central air and a small yard. We're still not sure how small/big the yard will be because the landscaping isn't finished yet. Hopefully it will be big enough for Kaelyn to run around, and for a small sandbox/kiddie pool. Oh, and a barbeque of course :) Anyway, our summer has been busy with packing and getting organized for the big move. We are moving out September 1st, at which time we'll be staying in Kelowna with my parents until the new house in Vernon is finished. In September we're going to Vancouver Island and Tofino for 10 days. I think Jason and I are both ready for a vacation now, but I know it'll be worth the wait once we breathe that ocean air. We can't wait!
Anyway, thanks for reading my first ever blog update. Kaelyn is awake from her morning nap, so it's time to sign off!
