It's been one week since we all moved back home to Ottawa. The kids are adapting well and are embracing their cousins, uncles, aunts, and grandparents. There is definitely something positive to say about having family around - the kids are getting a lot more attention and social interaction then what they're used to and it is really healthy for them.
What's new?
All babies are now showing their first signs of crawling. It's hard to say who'll be the first to succeed. Ariya can already squiggle backwards, while Jaiden has figured out that he can get across a room by rolling over and over. Kailen is sticks his butt in the air and tries to move his legs; i'm sure he's not more than a couple of months away. It's so amazing to see the babies starting their journey toward mobility! On the flip side, mommy and daddy are quickly learning that we need to pay extra attention now since the babies are getting mobile: yesterday daddy took his eyes off Jaiden for 5 mins and found that he had rolled half way across the room and was chewing on an electrical wire!...Lesson learned for 'The Daddy'!
'The Mommy' is doing well and is pulling double duty - she's been extra busy since we're without a nanny at present. Geeta interviewed a number of candidates this week and we are optimistic that we'll have someone to start within a couple of weeks. We're crossing our fingers that we'll find someone like Sarah (our former nanny from Toronto).
Only two more weeks to go until we get our house. We are really looking forward to having more space for the kids.
Being back in Ottawa is definitely a change for all of us. On the positive side, it is really nice being closer to family and friends and we are enjoying mid-size city life and the tranquility and calmness of the surroundings. Fall rhapsody is in full swing and the city always looks so gorgeous with the trees changing colour - we are planing to visit the Gatineau's this weekend. On the flip slide, Ottawa traffic is a lot worse than when we left three years ago! Commuting to work downtown is a bit of a headache and daddy has resorted to public transit for now.
