Forgive me, friends. Our little house in Lakefield - although hands-down the most adorable place on Earth - is without wifi and so we've been outta touch with everything un-important (the public's opinion, not mine) for the last two weeks. Which means I wasn't one of the first people to know that Kim Kardashian West is having a boy (GASP!). It also means that I'm two episodes behind in The Bachelorette with NOT A CLUE as to what's gone down (do you have more respect for me now?). It also means that I was the VERY LAST PERSON to know about Donald Trump running for Prez (he's REALLY good on reality television so maybe he'll be good in.......reality)? HAAAA. I'm basically a pioneer in the world of social media and current events - living life Before The Interweb. Except for that I KNOW what the Interweb holds and I'm convinced that being a pioneer IN THIS SENSE is way more difficult than it was for those other pioneers who had no idea what they were missing. Thankfully there are two darling girls that keep me busy and fulfilled :)
The flight home was better than expected. Once again, my pre-journey jitters were a useless expenditure of energy because - besides the fact that Juliet screamed the entire way to the Kuwait airport and then vomited all over me before we actually arrived - the girls were SUPER DUPER. Nory slept (almost!) the entire way to Frankfurt and, although Juliet didn't sleep very much, she was happy as ever to watch the chaos of air travel. The girls were EVEN MORE AWESOME on our flight to Toronto, embracing an emergency landing in Ireland as an ideal time to roll around in the bulkhead and apply as many stickers as possible to the nearby walls. GO TEAM! Their all-star flexibility was rewarded by several visits from the "Airplane Fairy", who left different toys and activities to make the time pass more smoothly. (A big thank you to the creators of Shopkins for making this our easiest airplane experience with Nory to date. I'm pretty sure every Mom could use some Shopkins in their life. TRUST!!!!!!).
So far Canada has been exactly what we needed to get over the slump we were in at the end of the school year. It's been so nice catching up with family and friends and enjoying life at our cozy HOME SWEET HOME. Although, I must admit that Nory has vocalized her desire to "go home" at least once a day since we've been here - referencing our Kuwait flat rather than our Lakefield house. It's the first time I've realized that her version of "HOME" and our version of "HOME" are completely different. I'm trying to decide how I feel about that. It's emotional in some way that I don't know how to explain....
Right now we are visiting Grandma and Grumps near Windsor, but we are leaving for Niagara Falls tomorrow and can't wait to show Nory and Jet all of the excitement this city holds! I wish I had more energy in me to keep on typing, but I'm ALL OUT and Dreamland is calling on me :) Fingers crossed I can catch up with you some more whilst indulging in hotel wifi this weekend!
Love,
The Pioneer That Wouldn't Have Actually Survived As A Pioneer
