I'm back

Well, we have moved into our new house now. We looooove it! But we are definitely still in the middle of chaos. We got hooked up to the internet yesterday so now I can give the answer to the little quiz in the previous post. The Schulzes were right... Kid A is Aiden, Kid B is Hannah and Kid C is Kiera.
Today we are having an at home day while the girls recover from colds. It seems that when it rains it pours! The day after we moved Kiera hurt her foot (fortunately it doesn't seem to be badly hurt and she is able to walk on it again), Hannah got a cold, and we found out that Aiden needs to go for an ultrasound for a "clicky hip". I can't really complain though. We have a very good baby who sleeps well at night and eats very well. The girls are adjusting well to their new brother. He is like a celebrity around here with his fan club stopping by every now and then to give him a kiss and a hug. Hannah is very excited about the new house, where she gets her own room again. Someone asked her the other day if she misses the old house and she answered "NO" without any hesitation. Kiera has been a bit stressed with all the changes and her limited understanding of what it all means. She has started stuttering the past few weeks and is frustrated with herself for that. She has really tried to be brave in all of it though and reassures me "Mommy I'm happy!" We love our new neighbourhood. Within hours we had met three of our neighbours and they have been incredibly welcoming. The previous owners had left us a huge pile of garbage and the neighbours were practically racing to see who would take it to the dump for us. Apparently the previous people were not a good fit in the neighbourhood with their teenaged kids. And everyone was very excited to see that I was pregnant when we came to look at the place a few months ago. There is another newborn baby next door and Hannah has begun making friends with the kids across the lane. Such a change from our last neighbourhood. We are also enjoying the quiet, being away from MacLure Rd, and Hannah has loved the empty streets for riding her new bike on.

Who's who?

Looking at Aiden the other day I realized how similar our kids look in the newborn stage. I love the side profile shots, maybe because that's what I see the most while I am feeding them. Can you tell which kid is which? Kid A

Kid B

Kid C

Welcome Aiden Tys!!

Aiden was born July 28th at 5:25pm. He weighed 9lbs8oz. He is healthy and sweet. And so far a very good eater and sleeper! We had been praying for that especially since the third never gets as much attention as a first or second born. Also we are moving next week so we have lots to keep us busy right now.

Proud big sisters!

Our kids!

Hannah (almost 4), Kiera (2) and Baby (one day overdue)

Happy Canada Day!

At the Parade...Cousins!!!Me and Mandy and MandyMatthew making sure that Kiera gets her share of the candy. What a great cousin!No lack of sugar here!Or here! Savouring every last drop...This was July 15th, about 39 weeks pregnant. My silly girl! She loves to play computer games and wanted a picture with the egg she had created.

Strawberry Picking and other random stuff...

We're moving! Three weeks after the baby is due! Our place sold, finally, and we found a house that we are really excited about, so now the real work begins.

Father's day :)

Tea party with ice cream treats at GG's (Great Grandma's)

Strawberry picking.

Once she realized she could just eat them, we didn't get much more help from her :)

At 36 weeks I had a hard time bending down, but I wasn't the only one. There must have been at least five other pregnant women there that day.

"I A BIG GIRL!" Kiera turns two!
