Canada Day Week

This past week was bittersweet for me. My whole family was at home in Welling at my parent's house having a big reunion and we were stuck in Fort McMurray. We had planned on going home as well but because I was having early contractions and whatnot, my Dr told me that I should not be travelling that far so we had to stay behind and miss all the fun. We really wish we were at home and missed seeing everyone and having a ton of fun, but we were able to have a pretty good week here anyways.

We went to the Canada Day parade and Brady loved it! He sat through the whole thing and was so excited at all the big trucks! Cody taught him how to pump his arm for the semi trucks so they would honk their horns and he thought that was so fun! We came home after the parade and all had a nice long nap because it was super hot out that day, and then went out to the park so Brady could play.

Cody and I were able to spend the rest of the week together just the 2 of us. I am no longer working and he was on days off, and Brady was at dayhome so it was really nice to be able to reconnect and spend the days enjoying eachother's company. We haven't had much time with just the two of us since Brady was born. In fact I think we have only made it out to dinner 2 or 3 times in the whole 2 years. But we have tried our best to meet for lunch during work days just to have some time together, so these 3 days alone were really amazing! We didn't do much except clean the house and organize and try to get everything unpacked and put away so we could make room for the new baby, but we did go out for lunch and watch movies together and just relaxed. It was so nice to spend that time together especially before we have 2 little ones and our time is even more limited!

Yesterday we took Brady to the new Marine Park Museum. It just opened a few days ago and its just a few old boats that you can walk through and see what it is like to live on the boat and explore the different rooms. Brady had a lot of fun looking around and pretending to drive them! He and Cody had a blast! After we walked around we went to the new playground that is there too and let him play. The whole playground is trains and boats and is the perfect size park for toddlers Brady's age so he was loving it. We went for lunch at the new Fatburger in town and then came home and napped. It was a perfect day and ending to the week.
