08.02.2005 09:28pm - Busy Times!

Comments (4)

Just a quick update... we are still around, still alive, just a little overwhelmed and not getting much computer time! There is so much to do around here and not enough hours in the day.

We had a good visit with my parents and got some important stuff done like painting our living and dining room. After that we also painted the den, and are still in the process of setting up the office furniture (after which we will set up the computer, and THEN I may get more time online and be able to put up new pictures). Peyton's bedroom is the next room to be tackled.

Today we finally went to get our Ontario driver's licenses, get the car license plates, sign up for the health coverage here, etc etc. Also we are applying for Peyton's Canadian citizenship (she will get dual citizenship since she doesn't have to give up her American one). So much paperwork!

In addition we are contacting contractors about various things we want done around here, working on childproofing the staircases and so on.

In less "work" related news, we are really enjoying our new neighborhood. Peyton and the animals have all adjusted to the change very well. Peyton is sleeping a lot better now that she has settled in. Although it is pretty hot here, it is NOT as hot as Texas, so that's nice! We bought a baby backpack and went for a nice hike in Gatineau over the weekend. So things are busy... but good!

Hey - we were just starting to worry about you! I can't imagine dealing with such a major move and all the headaches, never mind with Peyton and the animals. Hopefully you'll be settled in soon :)

Hi Janice,

Sounds like you already have a lot done - enjoy
the good weather (remember there will be a long,
long winter to get the extra things done. Believe
me, there are always a million extra things to be
done (even at this age).

Kathleen, Simon and Anna were home for a few days
and we attended Anna's christening plus had them
in for lunch. I gave Kathleen (Kate) your phone
number and address and she said she would call.
Simon has gone back; but Kathleen and Anna are
travelling back with her parents (they have a travel
trailer) so they won't be back for a week or so.

I hope you two get together and become the best
of friends (you are both so sweet - not to mention
Peyton and Anna!!!) I made Anna the same fan, teddy
bear lamp as Peyton - the colors are a little
different as I knew Anna was a girl when I made it.
That's one thing they have in common to start with.

Lots of Love,
Aunt Lorraine

Thanks for the comments!

Dana, sorry I haven't been around on the forum, but I'm so happy I have moderators to take care of things now! You three are doing great!

Tina, I couldn't remember the dates of your BC trip but I figured that's probably where you were when we didn't hear back. Let us know when you are back in town!

Aunt Lorraine, it would be great for Peyton to have a little friend - and for me to meet another mom as well! Mom brought Simon and Kate's number up for me too so one way or another we should get in touch. Thanks!
