The car is packed and now it's just a waiting game until tomorrow afternoon. I'm certainly not counting the hours because I don't actually want to go, well... I do but I don't. I do because it will be so great to get back to our own space and our own little apartment. It will be awesome to get into some sort of a routine, as much as we can with a one month old. I'm excited to get back to our normal life. I don't want to go because I've really enjoyed being closer to family and friends. Seeing everyone with Ryan makes me sad that only the small island of Bella Bella gets to enjoy him with us for the next 2 months. But it's only 2 months. It will go really fast, I just know it.
This past week has been a little crazy. Since it was our last week here, we were busy seeing friends and family for the last time until we get back in May. I think it seems busier then it actually was.
On Wednesday, Amy and Madison came for a visit. It's always really great to hang out with those 2. Madison is such a little sweetheart. I've missed seeing her grow up until this point and I'm really glad to be back in the summer so we can all enjoy the outdoors together. In the afternoon, our friends came up to see us. We just sat and talked together. We also went out for dinner at a burger place, which was so great as always.
Thursday, Amy, Madison and Eva were over, visiting once again. I sure do love my sisters. I'm sad to have to leave because I've enjoyed being closer these last few months. Madison has grown closer to Tyler too. She has learned to say his name, Da da which sounds like how she says Dadda (referring to Aaron) and candle. Whenever Tyler would leave a room, she would run after him. It was really cute to see that.
Thursday evening we went back to Ponoka. Friday, we spent the day with our friends before heading over to Tyler's grandma's house for dinner and games. It was a really fun evening. We had home made Chinese food and the most tasty dessert. Then we played a card game that I enjoyed but probably could never explain it to anyone. Ryan was being a big stinker. He kept spitting up on everyone and then he would be hungry and then he would cry and be fussy. Our night was not the best either. He just kept on crying and crying. When we thought we found a solution to the problem, like bouncing him, it would last for maybe 20 minutes before he was unhappy again. That's the first time he has cried like that and we didn't like it. We didn't like feeling helpless and not knowing how to help him. As a result of him being fussy, I got lots of Ryan cuddles which is always so awesome. He is just such a little sweetheart. Tyler started to feel a little sick last night, so he went to sleep and I spent some night time with my baby boy.
Today, I helped Tyler pack up the car. He doesn't like it when I help pack with him because I like suggesting ways to make things fit differently if I see it's not working out the way he is trying. He doesn't appreciate those suggestions and it turns into a fun game for me to pester him.
The rest of today doesn't hold too much excitement. Tyler is going to take a nap and Ryan is waking up from his. I will feed Ryan, change him and probably cuddle him some more. I might get in some cross stitching at some point and tonight, we will be watching the hockey game.
Tomorrow we leave after church. We hope to get far tomorrow but we don't know what Ryan has in store for us. It should be an interesting trip. We wont be bringing Kitty back with us which makes me sad. She has been my little needy baby for ever and although I know I have a better baby to look after, I will miss her.
As far as blogging goes, I'm not sure what we are up to. I plan on blogging often but I think I will have to get better at typing with one hand. It's tough to type while holding Ryan and I'm afraid my words-per-minute will decrease so it might take all day to type out one blog.
