HEY YOU! Remember Us?!

Nory and Coco - hanging out in the early morning :)

The traveling trio is back in our SOON-TO-BE-CANADIAN-HOMETOWN!  We arrived in Lakefield on Sunday afternoon and my excuses for NOT blogging earlier than this moment include:  my online course, bank/lawyer appointments, the "we're parents now" thing, and family time.  All legitimate reasons, ya?

We had a great time in Thunder Bay visiting with all of Phil's family and friends.  Staying at Grandma's house is TOPS.  Some reasons I love her:

1)  She called airport security looking for us when we were late showing up on her doorstep.

2)  She has a drawer in her kitchen with random sticks that she uses to throw at the big birds who are bullying the little birds at the bird feeders.

3)  After asking if she had been following The Bachelorette, she replied, "I wouldn't miss it for the world!"  She's also up for any and all television programs and acts genuinely interested in the characters.  Example:  BIG BROTHER. 

4)  She thinks nothing of my kaftan (Kuwaiti "house dress" / MOO-MOO).  

5)  We expressed an equal interest in the birth of the royal baby and rushed to the living room every morning to get a news update. 

6)  Everything just tastes better at her house. 

Oh Grandma.  All five feet of her bursts with AMAZING.

We move into our new house....our FIRST HOUSE....TOMORROW!  That makes today New House EVE.  HOOR-AH!  We have another bank appointment this morning, a visit with my friend Jennie this afternoon, and then organizing/packing/school-ing this evening.  The rest of the week includes moving (obvs), a visit with cousin Megan, Graeme's return from Europe, Dana's departure to the Philippines (BIG BOO), a Tim McGraw concert with my gal Sara (spontaneous and awesome-ly so), and unpacking!!!  BUSY, BUSY.  Or you could call me the worst summer-blogger ever.  Sigh.

Yippee-ya-hoo for the Royal Baby!  In my spare seconds, I will be refreshing People.com on my phone......
