Nana and Grampy's Visit

We generally have very healthy kids who are seldom sick - except it seems when Nana and Grampy visit! The week before Nana and Grampy's visit, Ethan came down with a bad cold/fever. I thought for sure he would be better by the time Nana and Grampy visit - but no such luck. Not only did Ethan continue to be sick, but Troy and I got sick as well. I was a horrible sick person and really felt horrible for most of a week. Troy and I finally started to feel better just as Nana and Grampy were leaving. Luckily, Scott, Nana and Grampy did not seem to catch the super bug the rest of us had and Olivia only had a small fever for a day or two. Despite the germs in the Sullivan house, it was still great to have Nana and Grampy visit.

Here is a picture of Troy with his favourite friend - his blanket. The blanket is his version of the soother and he loves it!! Troy is doing great - his newest trick is what I have coined the "cry and crawl". When he was sick, whenever I was out of his sight, he would start crying and crawl to find me. He had such a sad face, especially with all the snot coming out of his nose!!!
Ethan and Paola had fun putting Ethan's boat together that he was given as part of a loot bag from a birthday party.

Ethan and Nana did some much needed weeding in the garden during her visit.

On Canada Day, we had the Thornton's and Topolski's over for a bbq. The kids had a great time playing on our new climber (see below). The glider was a big hit!

While Steve was here, he worked hard on many household projects, including putting the climber together. Scott, Kirk and Steve had it all put together just in time for our Canada Day bbq. We really appreciate all their help!

We celebrated Troy's baptism while Nana and Grampy were visiting. Here is a picture of Carly and Ethan at my mom's house after the baptism.

Despite his cold/fever, Troy was still smiling for the camera!!

Olivia took a liking to Jerry and they spent some quality time together. She is so gentle and sweet!!!

Jerry, Michele and my brother Scott are the godparents for Troy. Here is a picture of them. Troy was relatively well behaved for the event. The car keys kept him occupied for most of the ceremony. A bunch of us were late because of the horrible traffic and I didn't get a chance to feed Troy before it started. Luckily, he cooperated!!

Here's Olivia hanging out in the kitchen. She is really enjoying the nice weather, walking around the neighbourhood and playing with some of the neighbours.

Ethan is staying at Michelle's for a sleepover tonight - it seems too quiet without him. Scott, Troy, Olivia and I took advantage of Ethan's absence and went out for dinner to the new neighbour resturant. It was good and the kids were well behaved (until just about the end).

We found out Ethan's JK teacher tonight. Luckily Ethan and Aidan are going to be in the same class!!! They are going to have so much fun together!!! For the first time, it hit me how big Ethan is getting. I can't believe he starts JK in less than two months!! Sniff Sniff!!!
