Scott and Ethan playing in the fields of John's family farm...He also had fun riding on the tractor!

We arrived home on Monday night after a week in Regina/Regina Beach. We had a great time at the cottage and Auntie Jen and Uncle John's wedding. It was wonderful to spend time with all of Scott's family (and to meet John's family). A special thank you to Aunt Kate and Aunt Karen who helped out with Ethan a lot while we were there (that is in addition to the usual thanks that goes out to Nana Wendy and Auntie Jen).

In Regina Beach, Ethan got to sleep in a tent for a couple of nights, which was a big hit. Ethan and Olivia both loved the beach and swimming in the lake. After a couple of days there, we headed into Regina to prepare for the wedding. While at the hotel, Ethan enjoyed the waterslide and Olivia loved swimming in the pool.

Ethan was a ring bearer at the wedding. He was a little bit nervous walking down the aisle, so Scott walked down with him. He did a great job!

Although we had fun, it was nice to get home. Ethan was not a very good plane traveller on the way to Regina, but made up for it on the way home when he was an angel!!! Olivia was great both ways. While we were away, both kids tended to stay up late and get up late. With the time change, this led to very little sleep for me on Monday night - Olivia did not fall alseep until around 3:00 a.m. What made this even more difficult was the fact that I had to be up and out the door to work by 6:45 a.m. the next day!!! She ended up getting up at 1:15 p.m. on Tuesday. Ethan didn't get up until 10:30 a.m. Luckily, their sleeping habits seem to be getting back to normal.

More pictures to follow next time...
