Trip to see the Grandparents in NS!

This past weekend we had a great visit home to NS! We made it only slightly late (hungry baby:) to Stewiack to see our friend Matt's induction service! It was great to see him and Christine and baby Sarah! I also got to see big Sarah (Marsh:) and we were able to show Emily to John McNab- who gave us the news that we were pregnant about 10 months ago!There were lots of people there I knew and it was great to catch up with them, too! Yeah!

Then there were the grandparents!! They love Emily so much, it's wonderful! And I don't think they mind babysitting her for us when we're there:). We were also able to spend an evening at Graeme and Jen's with Mama and Papa Kohler! Luke kept saying- "That's my baby Emily- she's my cousin", and it was so cute! (By the way, Bradley is missing from the pictures - he's harder to nail down than Luke is!) Also, Devin and Lenore were able to pop by to visit us in Lake Echo and it was so awesome to see them as we rarely get the chance- Emily was sleeping when they got there, but we all watched her sleep for a few minutes anyway:)

Also, Emily is doing some new tricks like smiling at colorful objects (like her "monkey mirror" in the car- every time we put her in the car now she smiles at it like it's a long lost friend!:) And she's almost able to bat at objects close to her- we'll put up the video we have as soon as I figue out how to do that:) Anyways, I'm exhausted today and think I'm going to bed after I write this (it's 7:45, but that's late enough for me tonight:)

Oh, and Happy Canada Day! (It's the most eventful weekend of the year in McAdam- I'll post pics later)

Uncle Graeme had no trouble getting lots of smiles from Emily

Luke is always amusing - here he sits, leg crossed, like a big boy!

So sorry I missed you guys when you were down here

Bel was born while Po was still in seminary so that pic of Scott reading with Emily on his lap is so familiar. There was more than one time that both daddy and baby fell asleep while reading some theological textbook.

hey dee
it was surprising and great to see you in Halifax. Emily is sweet. I hope that she doesn't pull too many stunts in the bathroom like she did:)
