Obviously the ULTIMATE part about being home is seeing ALL OF YOU and watching you interact with our girls in the most kind and loving way. But if we were to discuss the things that happen IN ADDITION to our visits, here are some of our favourite times:
1) Arriving to our house in Lakefield to find "welcome home" flowers on the front porch, "welcome home" gifts for the girls in the kitchen, and a "welcome home" stocked fridge! An extra single bed was even set up for the family and everything was in PRISTINE condition! Thank you to everyone who made our return so happy and SMOOTH. WE LOVE YOU!
2) Listening to Nory's commentary during our first walk-through of the house. "It's beautiful! It's beautiful!!!!! Look at the toys! They are beautiful!!!!" She was so excited!!!
3) The first sister giggle moment EVER. Nory was in the kitty pool on the deck, throwing a ball and causing little splashes here and there. Well, Juliet thought it was HILARIOUS and she started giggling out of control. Which caused Nory to giggle EVEN MORE out of control. Which caused Jet to giggle EVEN MORE out of control. Which caused all of us to giggle uncontrollably. It was a moment that I will never, ever forget!
4) Our first rainy day. Nory INSISTED we go out and play and that's exactly what we did! We watched the cars swoosh by, jumped in puddles by the park, and stood under eavestroughs at the marina. Nory kept saying how "beautiful" it was and didn't want to return home. Thank goodness Nana and Grampy were able to find her a special purple raincoat!!!
5) The fact that Nory has fallen in love with the ALL-STAR performances in High School Musical and requests for the "singing and dancing" to be put on every morning while we're all still waking up.
6) NORJET MANOR. You guys. Grandma and Grumps got Nory and Jet the SWEETEST little playhouse decked out with purple flowers and a kitchen with a menu full of pretend food options. Nory loved playing in it while we visited them in Wheatley. Even more exciting, they are going to bring it to our house in Lakefield so that the girls can enjoy it ALL SUMMER LONG! :)
7) Juliet feeling the wind on her face at the park behind our house. I wish I caught it on video. She had this look that was so full of wonder and you could just tell she was HAPPY :)
8) Our Anniversary, June 25th. And one moment in particular. The moment we were sitting at East Side Mario's for dinner and Nory was belting out "I LOVE MOM" to the tune of Barney's "I LOVE YOU" song. And it went on, you guys. For an embarrassing length of time. I was serenaded BIG TIME and not by my husband ;) Maybe next year! Haha.
I started this post a few days ago and I'm going to stop it at EIGHT top moments. Mostly because I just lost half of this blog post and I'm too annoyed to re-type my thoughts (#hotelwififail). But also because I have a bad cold and AIN'T NOBODY want to read my Nyquil-induced blog nonsense (you're welcome!). We leave for Lakefield tomorrow and, although we've had a wonderful time away, we can't wait to relax at the house for the remaining weeks of summer holidays!!!
