Nancy's Guest Blog Post

Lucky readers - you have a guest blogger!

Scott has been unable to update the blog as he's putting in the hours at work and when he's home, Sam is the priority.  While Scott is "bringing home the bacon!", Sam and I have a routine of play groups, music class, playing on the front lawn, and playing with new friends Ryder and Grayson.  We have been welcomed warmly into toddler life in the area and Sam is thriving.  He's a social kid who loves being out meeting new people and experiencing new things.   Just yesterday, he took his first unaided steps and now is keen to walk everywhere with just holding onto one of our hands.  Hopefully he'll develop his confidence soon as Scott and I are getting lopsided backs carrying around 29lbs all the time!

We are looking forward to some upcoming trips.  Sam, Nana and I are off to Tofino for a week in May and then we are all off to introduce Sam to his lovable American cousins in Virginia and the ever adoring Auntie Laura and Uncle Ross!  Sam enjoys seeing them every week on Skype, especially Chelsea the cat, but a week full of constant playmates will be the best.

Anyways, here's what you really want - Sam pictures! Enjoy!!!

April Fools Day!

Happy April Fools Day everyone!  This means that I have got through my first month in the new job and officially take on my role from Monday morning.  My sales team had a little induction ceremony for me - when I completed and signed off my first vehicle deal, the sales person involved cut my tie.  (Luckily I had time to exchange for a cheap alternate tie from a local charity shop).

I thought I would also take the opportunity to share some recent Sam photos, as he is over 13 months old now, on the verge of walking and his first understandable words are "dog" and "again".  He also recently had his one year health check-up, including five different injections.
