Summer Recap
We had a great summer full of fun and adventure. We moved into our new house in early July and spent just enough time there to get settled before we made our first trip back to Nova Scotia since we left last year.
Our new home is great! We particularly love the pool and large, grassy back yard. The boys have lots of room to run and play, and we all enjoyed swimming when the weather was warm enough. William and Callum are particularly fond of the water. Callum loves to play 'Hen, Rooster, Chicken, Duck' and William is always busy trying to learn to swim. Jacky prefers to paddle around a bit in his 'floaty seat (for lack of a better term) and then direct all of our activities from the side of the pool the rest of the time.
We spent almost 2 weeks at the farm this year. The weather was warm and sunny, and we enjoyed many hours sitting outside while the boys played in their splash pool and on the lawn. The last few days of our trip were not the best, as Jack and Callum both came down with Roseola, but that is a distant memory now. Overall, our time in Nova Scotia was absolutely wonderful. I've even almost forgotten about the first week of rain!
Here are a few photos of our summertime adventures. I would love to write more, but then I would miss out on my 'nap time'!

More Videos...
I find that I seldom have time to sit down and write a proper post, which is why I don't update our blog as often as I would like. So, from now on, when I don't have time to write, I will just post videos and photos (I suspect that is what most of you are looking for anyway...)
Here are a few videos from the past week:

Haircuts!
The boys had their first 'official' haircuts today. I say official because they each had part of their head shaved while they were in the NICU, but I don't think that counts as a true haircut.
We knew that Callum and Jack needed haircuts. Several people (hi Bill! hi Kelly!) had mentioned it and their hair was starting to get tangles. When Sonam put pigtails in Callum's and Jack's hair last week (which Will thought was hilarious), I knew it had to be done and soon. Will's hair is much finer. He just needed the back cleaned up. I liked to joke that we had '80's boys - 2 with mullets and 1 with a rat tail.
We decided yesterday that we should just bite the bullet and get it done, so this morning Mum and I took the boys to Melonhead. I felt a bit sad to say goodbye to the baby curls, but it went really well and the boys look exceptionally cute (if I do say so myself haha).
Here are a few before and after photos:

We are on another blog!
I know I am late posting this, but we had a great visit with Daren's Uncle Paul and Aunt Sandra a few weeks ago. Paul and Sandra are temporarily living in our neighborhood while their own home is being renovated/repaired. I don't think I want them to leave! We had a short visit at their house and then Sandra came home with us and stayed while the boys had lunch. It was really nice. Anyway, Sandra wrote about the visit on her blog. Here is the link if you want to take a look:

The posting date is in early February - take your time and read about their fantastic trip as well!

The February Blahs
Yahoo, February is almost over. This winter has been horrible - so hard to get out and so cold and snowy. If/when we move again it is going to be somewhere warmer! I've decided to use the winter blah's as my excuse for not blogging in a while. However, I am turning over a new leaf - back to at least weekly entries.
So you're probably wondering what fascinating things we have been up to lately. Here it is:
The boys are great. All are walking now (Callum took his time with that - he prefers to sit and play quietly, so walking was not a big priority for him). No one is saying much yet - mainly mama, dada, uh-oh and baby. I guess my boys are the strong silent type. They have a great time playing together most days and now often show their fondness for each other by kissing. It is too cute.
I am going to post recent photos as soon as I find my camera cord. It is hiding out somewhere with all of our missing socks.

Good Riddance January!
Yahoo - January is finally over and there are only 27 days left in February. Can you tell that I am looking forward to spring? I don't want to complain, but it is really, and I mean really tough to get out with 3 18-month old's during the winter. Our new neighborhood is great, but there is just too much snow to get through. I need a motor and a plow on the stroller I guess.
It's been a long time since I updated and I don't know where to start. I should probably start with an update about the holidays, but I really want to talk about New Year's resolutions. I have the perfect resolution for next year! You see, this year I made several resolutions - exercise more, be more organized, update the blog regularly, etc. I set myself up for failure because I had too many resolutions and there was no way I could keep them all. Next year, I resolve to make only one resolution and since my one resolution will be to only make one resolution, I should surely be able to keep it. Sometimes I think I need to get out more...
On another note, here is proof that kiddie toys can be fun for all ages:

All kidding aside, tomorrow I will post a real and (hopefully) interesting update.
