Nana and Grampy's Visit

Nana and Grampy came to visit with us for two weeks, they left last Sunday. We all really enjoyed their visit and were very sad to see them go!! Steve worked hard finishing off our basement bathroom, along with taking Ethan to school and gymnastics. Wendy helped me out with the kids, including spending three days in the law library at my work with Troy. Ethan, Olivia and Troy enjoyed getting to know their Nana and Grampy more and are already looking forward to the next visit next June. Ethan and Nana are planning to go to the zoo!!

Troy turned two months old yesterday, I can't believe how quickly the time is going by. He is continuing to grow at a fast pace, as this picture suggests. It will be interesting to see how much he weighs at his two month check up next week! He is doing great, I don't remember the other two "talking" as much as he does. Paola was convinced that he was saying "ma" the other day.



What a cute smile - he has dimples just like Ethan!!

Ethan has been feeling under the weather for the past week or so. He stared feeling better yesterday, just in time to attend Family Fun night at his pre-school - the loot bags seem to be a good motivation to get him to eat something!! While Wendy was here, she introduced him to the movie "Pete the Dragon". Ethan really likes the movie and has watched it a number of times since. At the beginning some scary people try to take Pete, so Ethan likes to hide here behind the couch until the scary part is over!!

Some more of Troy smiling. He continues to be a great baby, his only issue is a bad case of cradle cap which is causing some dry skin on his face. Hopefully it will clear up soon!

While Nana and Grampy were visiting, Papa and Margaret came for dinner. Here is a picture of Ethan and Papa, Papa likes roughhousing with Ethan!!! Another highlight of that dinner was Ethan, Grampy and Papa singing "Puff the Magic Dragaon" - we had given him the book earlier that day due to his keen interest in dragons.

Here is Nana reading Ethan and Olivia a story.

Olivia has taken quite an interest in Troy, although she isn't always as gentle as she should be. Here she is checking him out while he is in his bouncy chair.

Ethan cuddling with Grampy! He is such an affectionate little guy!

Scott survived his surgery to ensure that there will be no more Sullivan kiddies - it is a little bit sad, four may have been nice.... He recovered quickly and got a bit of a glimpse into what giving birth must be like!! He was back helping out with the kids later the same day...and they say men are sucks when it comes to those kind of things!!!

We are off to St. Catharines this afternoon. Ethan is sleeping at Nana Charlotte's house tonight and they are going to the Santa Claus parade tomorrow.
