There and Back Again...

Abbotsford.

Houston.

And back again...

We're home!

It was a fantastic three weeks. We loved spending time with so many family and friends. Thank you for helping to make the trip so wonderful.

Our first week home was a week of adjusting. Atticus had a hard time with jetlag this trip, so as a result, we did too. After a few nights of very little sleep, things began to get back into a routine.

It was rather rainy and windy our first week back, so we were grateful that we brought back all sorts of new books to read with Atticus. Atticus loves reading books with us on the couch while eating raisins, it is an excellent way to spend a rainy afternoon.

Walking seems to be another great way to spend a rainy afternoon. Atticus took his first solo-steps our first week back and we are very excited. He is still a little nervous and seems to prefer holding on to one of our fingers and especially loves it when he has both our hands and gets to swing - what kid doesn't love that?

Here are just a few photos of our time in Canada.

Our time in Houston was a lot of fun. While Jason worked, Laura and Atticus visited with some friends, went to the zoo, the park and the pool. Jason was even off early enough to join us at a few museums in the evenings. Atticus loved the Children's Museum and the zoo!

Here are a few photos from our time in Houston.

This past week, Atticus and Laura also started their preschool music class. It's in Dutch and Laura is really looking forward to learning some children songs in Dutch. Jason is hard at work, as always, and we are just enjoying every moment we get to spend together.

Thanks again for a wonderful trip to Canada.
Love you all!
