Feb 13-14 -- moved into a little basement apartment for our few "homeless" weeks
Feb 14 -- moved out of our home. A crazy day, as all move days are!
Feb 16 - 17 -- de-junked the cottage and packed up our beloved little place
Feb 17, Family Day -- discovered baby #3 is happening
Feb 18 -- headed away on a little family vacation. To Michigan. yes, not Florida as my last post anticipated! ;) But we had a wonderful few days of down time at Great Wolf Lodge in Michigan!
Mar 8 -- packed our belongings in a U-Haul and drove away from our precious Grand Bend cottage for the last time... with many tears.
Mar 13 -- got possession of our new home! So exciting to get those keys and get inside again :)
Mar 15 -- move in date... HURRAY!!!
Mar17-21 -- house got freshly painted inside, and I love it!
Mar 23 -- Mom comes for a visit (Dad did too, but 7 hours doesn't really count, does it??) and stayed for almost 2 weeks. So very thankful for her help in getting settled in.
Mar 25ish -- In the last week of March, MJ started walking at 14 months. Love this toddling stage!
I think that's about it... April has been settling into a normal routine again and we are loving our new home with lots of space to play - inside and out!
So did you catch the casual but big announcement in there?? Yes, Little One #3 is due to arrive early October sometime and we are thrilled! A bit scared, of course, but excited and thankful. :) I have been feeling well throughout it all, just the usual tiredness and mild nausea. It was so busy in January and February that I just attributed the extra tiredness to the stress of the moving process... but now I know it was a bit of both. Thankfully both kids still nap in the afternoons (usually), so I take advantage of that many days. I know -- not very productive, but!
Here are a few pictures over the last couple months:
Move-out day from our home...
AJ had a few moments in the big moving truck :)
Great Wolf Lodge
AJ had a cool little "camp" spot to sleep in while at Great Wolf Lodge
Back at the apartment... maybe a little cabin fever setting in on those frigid cold days??
Papa was in town for meetings so we enjoyed a few brief visits :)
MJ is our climber. If she can reach it, it must be climbed...
Nana visiting in our new home
A rare nice spring day! AJ had his bike out for the first time and we enjoyed a visit from friends.
A boy and his dirt... so content out there.
Won't be long now before MJ is running off with AJ's bike...
Got our deck all ready for the spring/summer season!
One of 2 loads sent to the dump from the cottage...
MJ's favourite place to hang out in the apartment
Dad & Mom after a little vacation away on their own for the first time in ... forever? ;)

AJ learned some new skills since moving in... carpet was ripped up and he popped quite a few staples for us :)
Enjoying some fresh air at the end of our driveway :)
So mild and quiet............
Park fun :)
