Meeting Cousin Alexis

We ended our week of vacation by taking a trip to Ottawa to meet the newest addition to our family! sweet baby Alexis was born July 29th, and last week was the first time we got to meet her! Living so far away from family is difficult at times :(
Alexis was so good the entire time we were there, I wish I could say the same for my boys. The week of being off schedule and routine had finally taken it's toll and Owen had a huge melt down Saturday evening, lasted probably two hours. Lovely.

The first picture of the three of them together! Grandma will be so excited to have a picture of all of them.


Saturday we took the kids to the Children's Museum. Even the new parents and Alexis joined us at the museum. It was fantastic! we will definitely go again. The only problem was that it was really busy and loud with all of the kids there. There were so many things for the kids to play with and explore we could have spent the day there. Owen enjoyed the learn about construction exhibit the best. No surprise there! the crane kept him busy for the longest time and he waited patiently for his turn to operate the crane. I thought I would need to help him, but he operated the joy stick perfectly and moved the packages around no problem. He watched how the older kids did it and then showed mommy that he could "do it like a big boy".



If you look closely you can see wee baby Alexis propped up beside Noah, she wanted to be part of the fun as well.


Dressed up and ready to entertain!


Sweet baby girl. We miss her already. Hopefully it won't be too long until we visit again, she will have changed so much.

Probably the cutest blog addition you added, but again I am a little biased. Love you all and we will be home in September and again October
