Caleb went on his very first camping trip this weekend. (Note: It was also mom and dad’s first camping trip together in 8 years!! – Thanks to the Patels and Herds for all their help!) We went up to Lake Cowichan with Kaari, Anika, Deenu, Marilyn and Brad and had a blast!

Our campsite:

The babies behaved beautifully and slept well… the bigger boys had fun on the boat and in the lake… and the women rested and relaxed at the beach and around the campfire. Caleb is in love with the movement of the trees and had lots of smiles for everyone!

Here’s the happy camper:

… will it ever end??

It is fantastic to be off from work, and to be able to put my feet up and nap whenever I want. Except for the fact that I am nesting badly – I’ve been cleaning everything, organizing stuff and trying to get the house in order.

The only other downer, aside from the uncomfortable big belly, is also my wrist. I fell a few weeks ago at work and I was more concerned about the baby, than the rest of me. With all the swelling that was going on, I didn’t notice the pain in my wrist. However, the last few days it has gotten worse. I am faced with the decision of going for x-rays… or just living with the pain until after the baby arrives.

All of which is why… 2 1/2 weeks seems like a very long time! Come on Squishy!!

We our back from our trip to the mainland, and the U2 concert was fantastic! Squishy loved it and was dancing, jumping and kicking around. He is definately a classic U2 fan – he prefered their older stuff to the newer stuff… manybe because mommy plays the new stuff in the car too much! Anyway, the concert was wonderful. The circular stage was awesome and they really play into the audience – and walked around so they faced everyone (even the people behind the stage). My only regret is not sneaking in a camera to get a few shots! Oh well.

We had a fantastic time! We also did some shopping and got Squishy a few outfits from the Carters, GAP and OshKosh outlets, some classic pooh stuff from Target, and a footstool/toybox from Ikea.

Definately a fun get away before Baby Squishy arrives!
