Sleep finally

Cara is our most recent addition and will be our last unless we add pets but no more kids. I think 4 is enough for us. She is now going on 3 months thank goodness. Ok so we were spoiled with Veronica because she was a very easy going baby and had no problem sleeping at night. Cara on the other hand is very fussy from about 10-midnight every night. The past 4 days even though she is fussy it does not last as long and she is sleeping about 4-5 hours every night which means I am finally getting some sleep too. Plus she now sleeps fine in her bassinet which she also most to big for so time for the baby monitor to be moved to her room and to try the crib. Cara was born 7lbs now she is about 15lbs. She out weighs my friend's 5 month old and almost weighs as much as my other friend's 9 month old. LOL. In fact Veronica only weighs 25lbs so we figure Cara is going to be bigger and taller then Veronica because lots of people are mistaking Cara for a 6 month old. Half the clothes that Veronica wore are packed back up because Cara does not fit them and I had to get out the box of 3-6month sizes and some of the 12 month sizes too. Here we thought we would not have to buy clothes except for Veronica but it looks like we need to get clothes for both lol. I joke that Cara is trying to catch up to Veronica even though there are 20 months between them. People are saying that in a years time I might have a set of twin toddlers on my hands if Cara continues to grow the way she is.

Family

So this weekend was very busy. First it was Canada Day on Thursday. Tyler's parents arrived that afternoon and of course once they had the trailer all setup we went shopping. Grandma loves to take Veronica shopping and let her get anything she wants. Veronica got a new outfit, a tiger flashlight that roars, and some little people to go with her growing collection of toys. Grandma also picked up a outfit with Piglet on it for Cara, which is fitting as she is a little piglet right now. Opa had to have some coffee from Timmy's so he picked up a snack pack of timbits too and fed them to Veronica plus gave her a chocolate chip cookie. After shopping they went back to the camp ground for some RnR and came back after supper. Grandma then gave Veronica a box of smarties, she said Veronica needed to know that Grandma always had something in her purse for her, LOL. You have to love grandparents. Friday was low key as Tyler had to work and so did I. When Veronica got up in the morning the first thing she said was "grandma?" She want to know were she was. It is obvious that in a short time Grandma has become very important to her. Of course that might have something to do with the fact every time Grandma comes to visit she takes Veronica shopping and lets her get anything she wants! My dad arrive in the afternoon and we watch FIFA soccer, LOL. I have not seen my dad in about 9 years so it was great to see him. He turns 60 next year and they, the military, are already planning his retirement and birthday party. It is in February and in British Columbia so I will not able to go. He stayed until Saturday afternoon because he had to get back to Wainwright for work on Sunday. He and Tyler seemed to get on fine not that matters as we wont be seeing him or that side of the family often or ever due to the distance between us. On Sunday my mom and step dad with the kids, Isabeau, Dedrick, and Ronan, came in from Taber. Bill, my stepdad, was blessing Cara and giving Fred the Priesthood. Tyler and his parents also came to church that day. We took up a full large pew, LOL. It was wonderful to have everyone there. After church we went home to have lunch and to send Fred off to Taber for July. We will not see him until August sometime. This gives us a time off from him which we need and to recharge our batteries to continue to deal with him.
