Between here and there

Well, it's the first day of school, 9:30 am. Kaelyn's having a nap and her mommy is still in her pajamas, drinking a cup of tea. I have to say it feels a little funny being at home today, and not at school with my fellow teachers nervously awaiting this year's group of new students. But is also feels wonderful to be home with Kaelyn on such a beautiful day.

Jason and I are officially moved out of our condo in Vernon, and are temporarily staying at my parents house in Kelowna. They have been so wonderful and accomodating to us, and Kaelyn is enjoying her new favourite playmate: Grandma. Jason did a great job moving all of our boxes into storage, with the help from Curt and some friends from Search and Rescue.

Our new house is coming along really well. The siding is up,the garage door is on, and it's painted inside. This week our cabinets are going in, and next week the flooring is going to be started. If all goes according to schudule, we'll be in our place early October. We can't wait! We'll be in the middle of a construction zone for awhile, but having a brand new house with lots of space will more than make up for that inconvenience I think!

Kaelyn is having a great time rolling, rolling and rolling some more. In two days she mastered rolling front to back, and back to front. Now she just loves rolling around the livingroom! My parents neighborhood in Kettle Valley is an amazing place for walking. Lots of sidewalks, hills, and pretty houses to look at (I think I enjoy the houses more than Kaelyn) so Kaelyn and I have been taking advantage of this and going for walks every day. Jason and I took her to the playground yesterday and she went on the childrens swings for the first time. I think she liked it, but was more curious about the other kids in the playground rather than her new swinging experience ;)

All in all, we are busy but happy. We're heading over to Vancouver Island in less than two weeks, and we're looking forward to seeing Jason's family and relaxing in Tofino. Jason hasn't had a vacation since February, and I'm even sure that counts because his "vacation" at that time involved looking after a newborn baby and also helping his wife recover from a c-section! So it's been a long time coming for Jason, and he deserves the break coming up :)

Hope all is well with everyone, and take care out there.

love,
Katie, Jason and Kaelyn
