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!

Here is a video of 'The Crawler'
I'm glad your family is feeling better. Being sick is bad but having your kids sick at the same time is just horrible. So Euan is a crawler now eh. So exciting, cant wait to see you!
ReplyDeleteCute cute cute boy D! Don't ya just love being a mommy? Also, this is Kim, not Bryan :)
ReplyDeleteSeriously, this Holiday was meant to be the last big family outing before Deanna, Euan and I leave for Canada.
ReplyDeleteDeanna kind of downplayed how sick I was, although i'm just as likely to overplay it. It was bad enough that my Dad went to the hospital to see a specialist in the middle of the vacation because he basically looked and sounded like he was dying, and we didn't recover for two weeks! I couldn't really spend any time talking to anyone, because I had lost my voice!
We tried to have fun; I tried to go fishing and to go for a walk in the countryside, but I just had no energy, and we ended up just sitting in the cottage.
Oh well, next time they'll be coming to Canada, and we'll make sure they are all quarantined for at least 6 weeks before they come!
