We popped by to see Connie, Dallas and Matthew. The young ones didn't talk much, but enjoyed playing with (near) one another.

December 22, Farewell Nova Scotia!
It's been one week since we left our home of 3 years. Remembering back so many years ago, Adam and I are amazed at all that has changed in our lives. The highlights: my first apartment, Adam moving out of his Wellington St place, meeting the Maxxam girls and taking air samples on a Navy sub, getting a job in my field at SemEquip and meeting Sonja and Kevin, getting engaged then married, first apartment with Adam, being pregnant at the same time as Sonja while watching Jan's baby grow, seeing Adam defend his thesis and celebrating with friends over babies births and weddings galore.
Last Friday night I stayed up thinking of all of the things I wanted to say about each of you that I've counted so dearly as my HRM friends. One week later, slightly more rested and (slightly) less of an emotional reck, I've decided that I'm not going to bare my soul and tell the world what each of you have meant individually to me...I've only moved, not died afterall. Instead, I'll cherish our times together and plan for our next visit in the spring and wish you all the merriest of Christmases.

December 16th, Home Again, Home Again
We made it safe and sound to my Dad's house yesterday. What a busy day! Adam's thesis was passed in around 8:30 am while I got an oil change on the car. Then he cleaned the lab while I returned our MacPass, paid our phone bill then left our forwarding address with Canada Post. Then Samuel had his 4 month appointment and 2 shots. I'll keep his weight and length a secret for now until I can upload a photo or two (I'm using my bro's PC). Then we grabbed some Dairy Queen (what! no blizzard!) and headed to our apartment (we stayed at the Flight's Thursday night). Adam loaded the car, I fed Samuel. I swept, Adam removed the garbage. We passed inspection and headed to Aliant to return the modum (a $250 charge if you care to keep it) and were on the highway home by 1:30 pm!
I have some posts planned out in my head (thanks to those who I've grown to love and hated to leave!) and right now I can't do it justice (plus there's the lack of available pics), so I'll sign off for now.

December 11th, "D" day
Today was Adam'd defense! Sam and I went to cheer him on. Adam presented his work very well and handled the questions from his committee with ease. Samuel and I had to make a quick exit during the first question (with Robert following close behind with Samuel's gear...thanks Robert!). The room was nice, except not designed for the subtle escape...the only door is at the front of the room, so Adam had to practically step aside when our entourage left the room.
We swung by and got Sarah and a pizza and headed to Sonja's for the bulk of the day. We had a great visit. Rhiannon is so sweet! and is catching Samuel in size...

December 9th, Samuel is 4 Months Old!
Samuel loves to dance and jump and was having so much fun doing so last night with Mommy and Daddy that he giggled! It was the most beautiful noise we've heard so far, although the sweet girbbles Sam speaks when he first wakes up are a close second :-)
BTW: for all of Nancy's friends, check out her blog (http://nancyandscott.blogspot.com/) to see her exciting news!!!
Only two days before Adam's defense! But like the great dad he is, Adam took some time tonight to help with Samuel's photos...

December 5th, A Big Day Out
Samuel and I went to school with Adam this morning then picked up Sarah and went to see Kate and Madeline. (We also saw Dan for a minute) We couldn't believe how close in size the babies were! Maddy is 9.5 months and Sammy is 4 months! Their hands are practically the same size. Of course with their red hair, they look like they could be related!

December 4th, A BIG day in Samuel's World!!!
Today, while I was in the shower :-( , Samuel rolled over for the first time from front to back! Daddy created this reinactment to show the starting position (tummy time) and the ACTUAL landing position.
Today also marked Samuel's first experience with snow! Although he didn't cry or fuss, I don't think he enjoyed getting a wet face...although he did fuss when we brought him back into our apartment (aka the boring zone).

December 3rd, Big boy with big hair ?!?
Samuel was sitting on Adam's lap the other night and I couldn't believe how big he's gotten! Sam will be 4 months next week. We can hardly believe how quickly time has gone by. One week from tomorrow, Adam defends his thesis. Two weeks from yesterday and we head home for Christmas!
I cut Adam's hair the other night in anticipation for his grad photos this coming week. We took a closer look at Sam's hair...after much debate (Adam wanting to cut the hair, me not wanting to cut it just yet)
we decided NOT to cut his hair. So we took some photos instead...
