Had a wonderful weekend with the sisters and Granny Al. It went far too quickly for my liking, but we packed a lot of love and baby/toddler spoiling into a day and a half.
Granny Al was carted away by the girls when they left on Sunday aft, so it's all about learning to survive without my full-time (and I mean FULL-time nanny). I guess she deserved some time off after a full week of duty here.
There are soo many photos to post... I'll see how many I can get up now before chaos strikes and my wee window of opportunity dissolves. (Nanna is visiting and entertaining Charley at the moment, and Sam is wrapped up on my chest.)
The sisters re-act as one would expect to the new babe:

Charley's new friends:

YAY! The neighbourhood Giant Tiger finally re-opens after the fire at Christmas. All rejoice!

Mr. Content:

Snuggling with Emily, aka Yumyum

Sister bonding:

Sarah, aka Naynay, prepares for what her life will be like in a few short months. Well... nothing
actually prepares you for it.... and, of course, you'll have a girl, Nay! (??)

This picture is from the first week home... and just made me laugh. I entitled it "Second-born don't get no love". Nothing like napping beside the dirty dishes.

The female force. So much girl-power on the weekend, and now I find myself alone in a house-full of men. Sheesh. My future.

Tabitha: Charley is loving his boy-toys... he's been playing with the police car for about an hour. Thanks for all the lovely prezzies. You're toooo generous.
Sun is shining. Spring? Maybe? Soon?

Wow, it is soooo nice to see how close you guys have stayed together, not only as a family but as tight friends! I can almost hear the laughter looking at the pictures. I really hope to be in Ottawa again sometime so that I can meet your boys, they are both adorable. Melinda.
Aww...you are the most beautiful family (you and your boys and you and your sisters + Mum!). Sooo warm and lovely.
Yay, I'm happy he likes the toys. I owed him, since I made him cry. Poor sweet thing.
