Cottage pics

Caleb spent alot of time fishing
Caleb enjoyed playing with my cousins, Ian and Emma. Ian and Caleb look a little bit alike.

Lots of space to play at the cottage!

Here are a few pictures of our time at my grandparent's cottage. My sister has better pics of all three kids, so I'll post some after I get them. We had a great vacation. The weather was nice the whole week and the kids could play outside all day. Caleb was also very brave this trip. He went on a couple boat rides and was not terrified of my relative's dogs! Colleen and her son Jack were able to come down for a day to visit. Jack is such a cutie. He is about 9 months old. I was starting to get the "baby itch." It was also a reality check to be around him. Our baby will be about 10 months old when we bring him/her home. Jack was beginning the separation anxiety stage where he would whimper/cry if I held him and Colleen walked away. I kept thinking our baby is going to experience something 10x worse. We're going to take him away from his foster home, put him on an airplane for 12 hours, and bring him/her to a new country where the language, sights, and smells are all different. Poor baby. I just pray that we will have extra measures of compassion and love for our new child.

Anyways, back to our trip. The kids traveled great! My sister came along for the trip out, so that was a big help. Thanks to Steph and Bec for all of their help that week! I love being at the cottage, it brings back memories of my own time there as a child. It's fun to see my children enjoying the same place.
