Gramma and Granddad's House

We have been at my parents house since last Tuesday. We came for Brock's graduation. Connor and Laura are having a great time. They love Auntie Dee and Uncle Brock (Sometimes too much.) We went to visit Emma and see her nursery. She is all ready and very excited to have her baby. Connor and Laura have gone with Auntie Dee this evening, to feed the animals at the Landry's house. Diana is taking care of the animals while they are away. The kids are very eager to see the horses, goats, kittens and birds. Tomorrow, we are going to a Canada Day picnic in Nanimo. We are all hoping for nice weather. We are all having a nice visit but the kids get a little home sick and miss Daddy around bed time.

11 Days Old

Out and About



We are ready to go! Let's go to the Children's Museum!



Let's take Sophie too!








On the "ROOF TOP" Connor and Laura enjoyed digging for dinosaur bones, driving the Jeep, "playing" chess, and climbing on the playground. Sophie was happy just to sleep and eat.



Later, Connor served us ice cream at his restaurant.



When it was time to go, Connor rang up the bill and Laura washed the dishes.



It was a long walk to the children's museum but the children sure enjoyed it. When spent a little over a hour there then walked down to the library to return some movies and get so new books. Connor and Laura played in the children's section for awhile while I fed and changed Sophie. It felt really good to get out of the house and to know I can handle all three of them on my own.


By the time we got home, they were WIPED!

Family



Best friends! (at the moment!)







Connor and Laura decided to fold the laundry while I was in the shower!








My little Tomboy! She decided the motor bike was the best location to sit while eating a chocolate chip cookie!

Sophie enjoys lying on her quilt and looking around.



Connor has found another use for my nursing pillow.

Baby Girl!


Sophie Elise Simmons was born June 9, 2007 at 9:20 in the morning. She was 20in long and weighed 8lbs 2oz. She has a head of black hair and very wrinkly skin. Connor and Laura are both excited about their new sister. Laura would like to have complete control of Sophie and thinks she needs to hold her all the time. Connor is much more laid back about the whole thing and is very gentle with his newest little sister. Patrick, Sophie and I came home Sunday evening around 7:30. Connor and Laura missed us while we were at the hospital and were very excited to have us back. We are all happy to be home now and are settling in to life as a family of five.
