Carter spent a week at Grammy and Poppy's house! Ryan and I packed up the car last Sunday, July 2nd and headed to Antigonish. Peanut travelled in plush style on his fuzzy duvet on the front seat and I sat in the back with Carter. We borrowed Chad's Escape so we would have more room....but it was still a tight fit with all the things we brought along with us for the week. Jon and Lauren were home from the big city of Toronto so it was really nice for Carter to see them....no one got the lip which was nice. He took to both of them right away.

On Sunday we heard the news of the newest addition to our family. Jon and Lauren are expecting...December 31st, 2006! We are all very excited for them. It's going to be nice for Carter to have a new playmate. The baby we all know as "Max".

We didn't do a whole lot during the week, which was nice to just visit Grammy and Poppy and Jon and Lauren. Carter went for a few wagon rides in his wagon at Grammy and Poppy's house, and Poppy had Carter out to visit the neighbours.

Carter got a new pool while at Grammy and Poppy's house, which he loves. He had a great time splashing away in the water. It was a great way to cool him down and to also give him a bath. By the end of the week, Peanut even got in the pool..lol

Carter got very spoiled during the week. He didn't spend too much time confined in his jumper or exercauser. He was free to run about the sunroom all week long. He really enjoyed Grammy and Poppy's new sunroom. It was just like being outside without all the bugs...what a bonus! Carter was up late most nights...but that is nothing new.

Carter went to the park with Grammy, Poppy, Mommy, Daddy and the nutter. It was his first time on a swing and he really liked it. He also got to go down the slide with Daddy and on some of the toy dinosaurs with Poppy. Carter got to enjoy lots of icecream with everyone, chocolate fudgesicles being the favorite.

We also took a drive to Cape Breton to visit Carter's Great Nanny. She really enjoyed seeing him and getting hugs and kisses.

It was a great week, lots of relaxing, lots of great cooking by both Grammy and Poppy, lots of love from everyone, lots of laughs and good times. Many more to come!
