Back From B.C.

We arrived home on Friday after a great week long vacation in Victoria. The plane ride was quite an adventure, 5 hours is a long time for Ethan to sit still. We thought we timed it so that he would sleep on the place but despite being overtired both ways he was awake for most of the flights. Olivia was an angel, barely made a peep either way. Olivia also made a new friend - her soother. I thought I would try it for the plane ride for her ears and she liked it!!! She doesn't have it during the day, but it's nice for nap time!

While we were there we spent lots of time visiting with Scott's family. Ethan had a great time and made some great new friends, especially Uncle John - he was a big hit. Ethan also had fun spending time with his nanas, grampy, auntie Jen and the rest of the clan. His great aunt Karen gave him a teddy bear which he loves and now sleeps with every night.

Some of the highlights of our trip were a wedding, a play, lots of sight seeing and a trip to Vancouver - just to name a few. Ethan had a fun day with Nana Wendy while the rest of our were in Vancouver. He is still talking about feeding the seal. Overall, it was just nice to see the Sullivan clan. As usual, at the end of every visit I am left with the feeling that it would be so nice if everyone lived closer!!! There are lots of great pictures from the trip, so I am going to try to space them out over the next week.

On return home was uneventful. After a long flight, we came home and had some pizza. Although it was 11:00p.m. our time, it still felt like dinnertime!!! On Saturday we went next door for dinner, which was great, continuing my trend of not having to cook!!! Today we went swimming at Bronte Creek. The kids had fun. Olivia was talking up a storm - "ma ma, goo goo, gaa gaa" - it was funny!! We are still trying to adjust to the time change. The kids have been going to bed around midnight, the only good part is that they don't get up until 10:30 a.m. or so. Ethan went down tonight around 10:30 p.m., but Olivia is still awake now!!! I am off to get her to sleep!!!
