Summer is just about done. So is our Gypsy Lifestyle

WHEW! So much time, so little time at home!

Little A has been on the road 3.5 weeks of the last 7. WOW!

• 2 trips to visit relatives in the Kootenays, and Calgary.
• 1 week trip to Gramma's while Mommy and Daddy witnessed my cousin's nuptials in Mexico.
• 1 weekend at Cultus Lake for BC Day camping.
• 1 weekend at Camp Arbuckle near Kelowna at the annual Webster Reunion.

It was also a season of firsts for our little Angela. To name a few:

• Overnights without Mommy and/or Daddy
• Sleeping in a tent
• First roll over by herself
• First solid foods
• First veggies - Peas (didn't like them all that much but we're working on it)
• First sips from a sippy cup - Water (best for the drools)
• Likes to stand on our laps with a tiny bit of help. She likes to shake her booty.
• Jolly Jumping
• First parade - Now by the end of the summer, she's been at 3 or more!
• First birthday party attended. Happy 2nd Birthday Shayla!
• And just today, the first time she got to sit like a big girl in a shopping cart! 1 hour of shopping got her so tired she crashed.
• I'm positive there are others but I can't seem to remember them right now.

Little A and I have been away from the best man in our lives for quite a while this summer. Out of 6 weeks, Rich only got to see her every other week. Poor Daddy. Now is the time for family. Hopefully we're going to get to the PNE to start that tradition as well.

And CONGRATULATIONS to Dawn and Marc Ruus for the birth of their beautiful son Hayden Jackson. Angela is looking forward to this weekend when she gets to meet her little "cuzzie" (2nd cuzzie that is).
