Trip to Vancouver Nov 12-15

Emmett had his first trip off island to Vancouver this week because his Daddy had a work seminar for three days. Travelling with a three month old requires a lot of clothes and even then we almost ran out no thanks to the disposables we used while we were away. I can truly say that I missed the cloth diapers because nearly every "number 2" he did leaked out and on to his clothes...twice we had to bath him in one night! I've never had that problem with the cloth ones I can tell you that.

We stayed in a hotel downtown Vancouver for the first two nights. It was pretty central so I could pack up Emmett in the stroller and go window shopping. I also got to see some old friends and go for coffe with them. On our last night we hung out at Auntie Corey's house who's futon was 1000x more comfortable than the hotel bed and spent some time with her.

We had a pretty good time except for the sad news that Emmett's Great Grandma (my mom's mom) had passed away after some surgery to repair her lungs. She will be missed greatly and I am sad that she didn't have the chance to meet Emmett before she passed; we had been planning a trip out to Saskatchewan to see her in the spring and now that will be for a funeral instead.

It's good to be home now though and in our own home, bed and little town. The city is fun to visit but it always reminds me of why we moved away from one in the first place. I do look forward to when Emmett is a bit older and can have a bit more fun on the ferry though. The ocean is such a fun place.

I have no weight for you this week because we missed Mom's group while we were away and that's where I weigh him so it'll have to wait until this Thursday. His interest in toys is really starting to take off now and he makes an effort to grab them when ever possible. It's really fun to see.
