I didn't even look at my last post, all but the date so I think when I last wrote, I was getting over my sickie days and feeling horribly. Shane and I have not been able to kick our bugs, however his is mostly the forever running nose and a cough. I feel decent for a couple days and then some looming wannabe new headcold takes over, such as right now. Getting used to it, trying hard not to complain....but really, COME ON! Enough already! (I so don't like that phrase but there it is anyway).
Once we were feeling better enough to do something fun as a family, we headed to the Toronto Zoo. I LOVE the zoo so was very excited to get the boys there and check out all the animals, especially with Shane starting (trying) to say some of the animals names. He just seemed to love it....was completely mesmerized by all of them. Nicholas had fun too but after a few hours, was really done and tired. Can't say I blame him, I think we all felt that way except Shaney who had the luxury of being pushed around when he didn't want to walk. All in all, a great day and this time of year is just perfect for the zoo....no crowds, free parking and all the animals out and about. Now that I am writing this, I think I did write about our trip last post...but just in case, repeat.
The week following that was absolutely full of Nicholas counting down the final moments until Syds arrival. This is a boy who just loves his big sister so completely. We were all able to meet him at school the day Syd flew up to surprise him....and he was thrilled of course! It was a short visit, for the US Thanksgiving holiday. I had full intentions of making a holiday dinner but there really was just not enough time. So off to good old Teddys for turkey dinner and then Syd and I did some power shopping aftewards. We would have loved to shop longer but we needed to get back to pick Nicholas up at Beavers...again, he was thrilled to be picked up by Sydney. And Mommy was happy that Nicholas actually came out and said he had a super time. He hasn't been taking to Beavers very well but he seems to be coming around.....I think it's because they talked about badges...Finally.
Johnathon was able to take the time off while Sydney was here....Friday, Syd and Daddy had a date at the movies and a late lunch....then afterwards, they picked up Nicholas once again at school and they went to the ice cream shop...yum!
We didn't do a whole lot more other than just enjoy our time together. I did make arrangements to have family photos done on Saturday....something the kids (and hubby) always thoroughly enjoy.....lol! It went better than expected and I have seen a few shots but once we get the proofs, I will absolutely post some. At the end of the session, the photographer asked to take a few more of Shane because he was just so "gosh darn cute"....and Nicholas was like why is she saying that about Shane. He then proceeded to say "I am the cute one"! It was hilarious the way it was said.
This morning was a difficult one saying our good-byes. Nicholas especially was so sad. He bawled and bawled saying good bye. Of course, this just increased my tears so we had a good snuggle and thankfully, Jack was here so he had a distraction. And now, the house, like it does every time Syd leaves, feels like we are missing something....and we sure are - we are missing our Sydney.
