Fourth of july. . .a little late

So, life has been crazy around here with two little ones to look after! Liam has had some other issues, which I plan to post about later, but, is doing great despite it!! Hence, the very delayed Fourth of July post! We spent Friday night (7/3) at mom mom and pop pop's home as they had a fire pit and a tent set up for the grandkids- it was a blast!!! Ewan played in the dirt with dump trucks for most of the night, we ate dinner outside by the fire and roasted marshmallows! Ewan got to run around the big yard and absolutely LOVED the tent! He would run in 1 door, through the tent and out the other side over and over and over!! He had sooo much fun with his cousins and continues to talk about the tent and "Ree-Ree" and "Farfie"! He was so thrilled to be up well past his bedtime and was VERY hyper- it was hilarious!! He would not stop talking during the 25 minute ride home and tried to steal Liam's binky!! But, he was asleep before his head hit the pillow that night and I am sure that he had sweet dreams!

Playing in the tent

Daddy, pop-pop & a TRACTOR!!!!!!

Mom-mom & pop-pop's house is loads of fun for an almost 2 year old little boy . . .two sweet dogs, tractors, trucks, lots of grass to run in . . .what more could a little boy want?!


Waiting for pop-pop to arrive with the "big green tractor" Still waiting. . .

WOW!! Check this out- I'm not too sure about riding on it yet. . .

Maybe I'll just stand on it here with pop-pop (and a miniature green tractor in my hand!!)

Christmas!

Christmas was so much fun this year- it is amazing to think of the differences between Ewan now and Christmas 2007- he was still just a little peanut last year! The look on Ewan's face when he first saw the tree with his presents was priceless and he thoroughly enjoyed opening gifts! Denny graciously fulfilled the "long-awaited" role of unpacking toys from their boxes- a job that certainly requires patience and ingenuity. We had a yummy breakfast with Grampy, more presents with Grampy and story time with Grampy and all Ewan's new books!!! Then, mom-mom, pop-pop Aunt Claire and Uncle Wesley visited with even more gifts and lots of fun play time! Ewan was exhausted at this point, so a quick lunch followed by a nice nap was just what he needed!!! Then, we went over to mom-mom and pop-pop's house to visit some more and Ewan received another set of gifts from Aunt Mel, Uncle Ernie and cousins Rhian and Faryn!!!! I am afraid that the little man now expects gifts whenever he has a visitor!!!!!!!! It was such a lovely morning and so enjoyable with a fun little toddler running around brimming with excitement!!!!

Generations

One of the most amazing things is watching Ewan interact with his grandfathers. I look forward to seeing him build relationships with each grandfather (pop-pop and grampy!) as he grows. I am thrilled that Ewan is blessed to not only have an incredible father, but also grandfathers who love him dearly!
