All That's In Between

It seems like time skips along quicker and quicker these days. I guess that's partly because Canadian summers are so short.

I apologize for the lack of updates. We've been busy.

Kemper is 16 months now. Everyday is something new and great. He says new words almost daily, and is more mobile that I thought a sixteen month old could be. He inquires about everything he sees by pointing and saying "uh?" When you tell him what it is, he does his darndest to repeat it back to you. He knows lots of names of people now and everyone is thrilled everytime they hear him say their names.

Kemper loves Loops at Gramma's. Papa loves sharing red slush puppies with him, and Pops let's him serve himself crackers. Everything he eat's gets followed by a "mmmmmmmmm", almost like it's the greatest thing he's ever tasted.

Our sitter is on holiday's for the next couple of weeks, so his Gramma has joyfully voluteered to keep him. He'll be spending 3 nights at Gramma's house, (first time for that length of visit without mommy and daddy) and then Gramma will take him back for another night. Nana and Papa have voluteered to give Gramma Friday off and take him for the day. And as of Friday at 2:30, I'm on holidays!

We're heading to some friends' place in Stratford that we haven't seen since thier wedding in August '03. A lot has changed since then. They have two girls now, and we've since gotten married and had Kemper. We're so looking forward to spending some time with them. We don't really have any other solid plans, but I'm sure we'll do some day trips here and there.

I'll let you know how many times I've called Gramma's house when his visit is over!
