Not Much to Post

It's been a while since my last post but there hasn't really been a lot to write about. We've just been keeping busy and trying to keep everyone healthy.

We had a wonderful Easter with Nick's parents and sister visiting from Montreal. You can see some of the pictures here. Our time together always goes too quickly but we enjoyed every minute of it. Darcy was OK when we said goodbye on Monday morning but for some reason it really hit her hard on Tuesday morning. She cried all through breakfast (like it doesn't take her long enough to eat her cereal normally!) but eventually the thought of going back to school after 4 days off settled her down. Also, I told her that we're going to Cambridge soon for Mother's Day and to celebrate Lucas's birthday so that helped too. A potential visit with her cousins is sure to cure any sadness!We're learning that Wesley loves being outside. He's tried to sneak out the front door a few times (we had to get a new latch for the door that locked to prevent this from happening) and will often stand by the back door, pleading with eyes for us to take him outside. The last two days the weather has been great around here so we've been outside as much as we can. We also got a bike helmet for him today so he went for his first ever bike ride on the back of Nick's bike. They were out for about 45 minutes. Nick tried to end the ride a couple of times but Wesley made it clear he wasn't done. When Nick finally decided the ride was over at the end of the 45 minutes, Wesley had a good little temper tantrum. I had to pick him up, kicking and screaming, out of the bike seat and carry him with me to the bus stop to get Darcy to get him to calm down. The next two days are supposed to be beautiful so I think we'll be outside a lot again.

They're both in swimming lessons right now, Wesley in a parent and tot class and Darcy in her "big kid" class. We were fortunate to get both levels running at the same time this session so I can get them both there whether Nick is working or not. Of course, some of the city workers are currently on strike and others (like the lifeguards) will likely be going on strike on Saturday so I don't know how many more lessons we'll get to have. Hopefully the strike won't last long.

So that's my update for now. Hopefully there'll be more to say in the coming days!
