Catching Up

It's been a little while since my last real post, so I figured I'd just write out what we've been up to lately.

   We haven't been home very much. We spent most of last week visiting with B's family in Cape Breton. Grace met her Tante C for the first time! She took to her right away and was full of smiles; she didn't play strange at all. Cousin K was visiting as well! Meme and Papa were kind enough to have Uncle Mike over for supper while we were there (he's going to school in CB) and we picked up an ice cream cake for his birthday.
   Grace showed off her crawling skills to all of the fam. She loved crawling after Papa's dog. She loves animals. She even gets excited seeing birds in our yard out the window.
   We left on Friday with a car full of toys and some of Meme & Pepe's homemade soup. B had softball playoffs this weekend. They didn't win, but Grace and I had fun cheering them on. We were all ready to go to the game on Sunday morning, and stopped at Shoppers on our way. When I came back out to the car, it would not shift out of park - the button on the shifter wouldn't even budge. I was so frustrated! Thankfully, Granzilla was in town at the game already and came over to pick us up and take us home. Even better, my 'brother' Craig (he's been best buds with my bro's since they were kids) checked out the car and got us a temporary fix!
   Yesterday was B's last day of vacation. We spent the morning grocery shopping and running errands. One of the baby gates is up; we still have some more baby-proofing to do around the house. We spent the afternoon at Zilla and Grampers' house. I wish B didn't have to go back to work!
