Weekend get-away

This past Friday night I went on a ladies retreat with my church. I originally wasn't going to go because I would have to take Micah (due to nursing), but Tamara convinced me. I'm really glad she did. I had a great time!! So nice to get away. Tamara & I drove down together (with our two babes sleeping in the back). Nice to be able to talk without children talking too! Don't you just love getting away now & then!?

Tamara & I with our babies...they were so good!

Madelyn & Micah relaxing on the retreat.
Perhaps they liked not having their big sisters all over them for a day! :)

We got our camera back!

A friend from PEI was in Halifax, so we got our camera back. I didn't realize how often I take pictures until I couldn't!

So, last week we went to Moncton & PEI to visit with family & friends. Here are a few pics from our travels.

We stayed with Mark, Roxanne, Gavin, & Cole. We hadn't seen Cole since he was a few days old, so we saw a lot of changes. Isn't he cute?Gavin & Naomi are only 3 months apart, so had lots of fun playing together.

The next day we visited with Jamin's cousin Kelly & family. They had a little boy named Levi on the same day that we had Micah! It was great to get all the kids together. Naomi loved seeing Ainsley. Ainsley is Naomi's fashion consultant (a great deal of Naomi's clothes were passed on from Ainsley).

Here are the boys with the same birthday (and matching outfits)! It looks like they're both leaning in to hear a secret..."hmm...tell me more...."

The girls playing togetherThe whole bunch!

Micah & his great-grandmother.

Next we headed to PEI to visit with Jamin's parents. Naomi was especially excited to see Kyler. She just loves him! Here they are enjoying a snack at the kiddie table.Naomi chasing Kyler @ McDonald's!

Elsie with all three...wish Emma was there. Hopefully we'll get a pic with all of them this summer when Shira is home.
Here's what we saw Lee-Anne doing most of the time. :) She's on bedrest until their baby comes. I'm sure it's not as fun as it looks.

Benjy went fishing one afternoon. Let's just say he didn't bring back enough for supper.... he looks pretty proud though :)

We were really excited to be able to meet Jonah!! Jason & Kristi have a beautiful little boy! Seriously, isn't he just soooo cute! Here's a pic of the happy family.Here's me introducing the boys.

I just put this pic in so you could see Naomi's curls. This is what her hair looks like after it's washed and before it's been slept on!

Well, that was a long post, but I had so many cute pics I had to put up. Hope you're having a good week!

Camera

We just got back from PEI. We had a great visit with family & friends. Unfortunately we forgot our camera! So, no pictures until we get it back!

Hope you all had a good weekend!

More of Micah

Life is busy with two kiddies! I just don't have the same computer time as I used to! Here are a couple of pics of Naomi & Micah. We continue to enjoy them soooo much!

Naomi holding Micah. She loves it and he always has this look on his face as if to say "HELP ME!"

Micah doing some belly time

Micah's 8 week check up

On Friday, Micah had his 8 week check up (and was actually 7 weeks, 2 days old). He weighed in at 12 lbs, 12.5 ounces and was 24 inches long. He's a big boy! He got his first round of needles. He didn't mind the first one, but the second one made him scream!

He continues to be a good baby. He's starting to do the odd 4.5 or 5 hour stretch at night which has been nice. He is very gassy and does wake sometimes in the nights due to gas. Hopefully that will pass soon (pardon the pun!).

I haven't been as good at taking pictures of Micah, but I still take lots. The pic above is Micah at a shower for Jillian on the weekend. He slept through the whole thing!

Just thought you might enjoy a pic of my cutie hubby pushing our double stroller. What a good man!
