Finally an update
Hi all sorry about the long delay, been busy and believe it or not, not much to exciting going on.
Elizabeth can stand (with assistance) for quite a long time, she can turn onto one side and back pretty easily (though not flip over yet). She also is starting to be a bit more vocal as well. Though from the pictures, you can probably see that she can't hold a smile for more than 1.2 seconds. That's why the pics have all been with her and these half smerks.....
On Tuesday we had the Great-Grandparents drive in from Saskatoon to see Elizabeth (the first Great-Grandchild). We had dinner together at our house. Yesterday we were at the Grandparents house most of the day for dinner, and pictures, Elizabeth was pretty good for most of the day. Here she is with Great Grandpa and Grandma.
Anyhoo, everyone is fine, my job is going, business "should" be picking up next month, and at the very least, the long days should go a bit faster when we get more people in. Well I got to get ready for work, so everyone enjoy the rest of the week. Roanna and Elizabeth are off to the Grandparents again today, and she is taking the camera, so hopefully by Saturday there will be a few more pics..

Thursday Morning
Hi all,
Just a quick note before I get ready for work. Been pretty busy right, with all the visiting, and starting work. The weather has been freakishly hot, and the apartment hasn't been very cool during the hot days. Roanna and Elizabeth have been going to the Grandparents house, where it is cooler. Supposedly it is going to be hot all the way to September, I was telling Roanna that we should take turns and go swiming and the pool nearby, but last week they have found that the water fountains at the playgrounds are full of bacteria and poop. Which is kinda gross, some of the pools are not much better, so I think that idea changed now..... Mind you though, some of those beaches back in Bermuda were not to far away from the sewage pipes from hotels, I guess what you don't know your swimming in .......
Anyhoo, yesterday we took the oportunity to clean up the kitchen a bit, moved a few things around, did some shopping and basically got ready for my next two days. I work two 12 hour shifts Thursday and Friday, so trying to get a few extra dishes ready so Roanna doesn't have to worry about cooking anything, just reheat. I take my dished to work, just reheat them in the ol' microwave.
Asside from that, work is good, I am learning the products we sell, and learning how to be a salesman. At least we are heading in to the busy months now so everyone says there is plenty of oportunity to make lotsa money....which is never bad...
Anyhoo, everyone take care, we have lotsa photo's of Elizabeth, I shall post some more on Saturday.
