Yesterday, we had an atypical Sunday as we chose to be the ultimate tourists and ride the hop on/hop off bus. Note to Self: Do not do this again with 2 kids, while hungover. Let's just say, Julian had fun. It was good to see other parts of the city like Gastown and the main part of Chinatown. We've already covered the rest of it already on our own, so if anything, it was a good way to occupy Julian for 90 minutes. =)
I met this Filipino mom, who is a native Californian, awhile back. She and her hubby had moved from NJ two years ago - he is from England, but his family resides here, so here they came. She's been super helpful with the ins and outs of relocation, good doctors, tricks over the border, cheap supermarkets, etc. A plus is her kids are the same ages as our kids, so instant connection. Anyway, they live up in North Vancouver (15 minutes away, 2 blocks from Capilano Suspension Bridge) and we had dinner at their house last night. It was nice to BBQ and they are fellow hospitality majors, so food was guaranteed to be good =) It is interesting that only 15 minutes from downtown, they have bears climbing into their backyard!
Amélie had her first major milestone today (Monday) - rolled over from back to tummy (right side) and now she does it every time we lay her on her back. Sigh. I remember when Julian used to do this in the middle of the night, get stuck on his face and woke himself up...Boy, I can't wait for tonight.
Oh - and Julian knows how to blow his nose now! The things in life that excite us as we grow older :P
