2 weeks!

Euan wants to ride this tiger to Canada instead of flying. I told him no. He

seemed ok with that. I'm dreading flying 9 hours with the wriggly monkey child.

He is everywhere these days! He is going to be a nightmare! I'm hoping the other

plane riding participants have prepared themselves for one screaming 9 month

old! Lucky them!

He has recently learned how to shake his head, no.

'Do you want more food?'

NO

'Do you want to get down?'

NO

'Do you want to go outside?'

NO

I'm fully aware he has no clue that his head

shaking means no but its fun to play with anyway.

Do you like Daddy?

NO

See...fun!

He likes to wave and blow raspberries (beware the

flying spit!) I'm thinking him and cousin Gunnar are going to have too much fun

when we get to Canada. He's taken on all the qualities of a loyal puppy since he learned to crawl. He follows me everywhere! Just when I think he is settled down and playing nicely in the living room, I slink off to the bathroom thinking I've out witted him, when I hear the tiny slap of his little hands across the linoleum and a cheeky smile rounds the corner. He thinks its great fun, and I do love my new puppy! 

What we've been up to.....

Well its been pretty busy in the Hole house. We had a lovely EVIL holiday in Pembrokeshire.

 Explain?

 Ok. 

So we arrive on the Saturday to a nice old farmhouse that we've rented for the week with Glenns family. We get all unpacked and cozy and settle in for a week of fun and fancy free-ness. Sunday commences and Glenn comes down with a cold he caught off his Dad. He makes it known that he is pretty much dying. I pat him sympathetically on the head and send him to bed with medicine. Me and Euan enjoy playing outside, visiting the neighborly cows etc. Everyone proceeds to catch the cold.

 So far I feel fine. 

We even went horse riding. Wednesday night it hits me and poor little Euan. I hope that none of you ever have to experience this illness in your lives...it sucks the life right out of you. And it takes no prisoners, even my poor baby was reduced to never ending coughing, tears, and snot (never ending streams of snot)We lived on a diet of painkillers and orange juice (and milk for the bubbs) Needless to say we are finally feeling better.

 The other fun/evil part of the holiday was one broken solar panel that the owners of the house blamed on us.

 It wasn't us. 

They say it was.

 Evil. 

Other news, we have just realized that we only have one calendar month until we move to Canada. 

Panicking?

 Yes I am.

 Sadly this meant we had to find a new home for our furkid. Ollie the dog found a new home with a fun family with three kids. They seemed nice and hopefully he settles in ok. Me on the other hand, utterly destroyed. That pup was my baby until my real baby came. He will be missed.

So one more thing and then I promise I'm done.

 Euan is crawling! He just started doing it properly yesterday(it may have been sooner and I never noticed...he's good at rolling too...) You never truly realize how dirty your floor is until your baby daintily picks up and unidentified object between his tiny fingers and promptly sticks it in his mouth. Yep, that's a blob of hair. Gag. I baby proofed the living room, I'm hoping as long as one room is done I can just keep him caged contained. How do you keep kids out of everything when they are mobile!? Seriously! 

So what's a post without pictures!

Holiday!

We had a wonderful holiday in sunny Cornwall visiting friends! Glenn took us down and stayed for the weekend and then me and Euan stayed for the week! We stayed with Sandy while her husband was away for work and Piran(her little boy who is 2 1/2 months younger than Euan) We had lots of fun hanging out, going on picnics, shopping and spying on some seals! I took a million pictures and here is a small small selection!

June 12th 2011

Put the date in you calendar because the Holes are coming to CANADA! That's right...tickets booked...application in...just need the little mans Canadian passport and here we come! Its crazy that we are finally moving! So much to do but all the stressful parts are done with so hopefully smooooth sailing from here on in! We'll be staying with my dearest mother in Taber until Glenns application is approved so we are looking forward to playing in Southern Alberta this summer (cornfest here we come!!!) Euan has been practising his Canadian...

I think he's getting pretty good!
