Quick Update

Well among all the packing and running around figuring stuff out like paperwork etc...my blog has been left dormant. So here is a quick update from the Bates household. All is still go for the move on the 30th and we all can't wait!!! We are SO excited. lots has been packed but there is still lots of stuff still remains. Grayson is having a small birthday party tomorrow, Shane isn't even here...and then on Tuesday we will celebrate with cupcakes and a few presents. Other than that Grayson has seemed to enjoy his 1 day per week daycare so far...this Wednesday more than the first. So I can only hope that he continues to enjoy it because I know I am enjoying going to the bank without him and to the grocery store. Yep my life is exciting but he is SO rambunctious that taking him anywhere just doesn't work.

Hope this finds anyone who may still read this well. And I promise once life slows down a bit I will take more pictures and post more things.

Take care all.

Long Overdue update!!!

Well, ALOT has happened since our trip to the Dominican..not only will Grayson turn 2 on the 17th of July, but on the 30th we get possession of our new house...that's right!!! We sold our condo last Tuesday and then Wednesday we closed on our new 3 bedroom house in Somerset. Somerset is a community in Calgary farther south than we are, but it is newer, has a great waterpark and from what I have seen has lots of kids for Grayson to get to know. Also, this Wednesday July 4th, Grayson starts daycare once a week..it is a sort of pre-preschool. So anyhow, here is the new house......

Here is the kitchen and yep fantastic appliances!!!!

Here is the open concept living room..and the furniture is ours now too!!!

Here is the finished basement...great entertainment room. And the room with the french doors is Grayson's new playroom!!!

There is a nice backyard to house the playset Grayson should be getting for his birthday and a fabulous porch with a patio set and space for a BBQ and sandbox. Can you tell I am excited. Now to pack this place, sell our old furniture and be off with us.

I will try and get some shots of Grayson, but if my next post is not until after his birthday you know why.

Hope anyone who still reads this is doing well and we love you and hope to hear from you and see any of you soon.
