It's been a busy (and blessedly a COOLER) past couple of weeks here chez Johnson. Lexi's Nana came to visit us for a week from her summer home in Nova Scotia. Doug took the week off work and I was giddy with excitement at the prospect of having not 1 but 2 extra pairs of hands. I managed to sneak off for a haircut (had not been touched in 9 months) and do a bit of shopping.
Of course Lexi got spoiled rotten with books, clothes, toys and attention. We got over to the Island for a couple of nights, and Lexi was able to visit with her Great Grandpa, and meet her cousin Henry who is just a wee three months old. Nana's house was full of fun undiscovered territory, including the novelty of stairs, which we must have traveled about 3,452 times.
Back in Vancouver, we managed a trip downtown to shop on a very crowded Robson Street (and Mommy squeezed in a much wanted shop at
Kiehls). Mommy and Daddy had a date (a WHAT?) and caught the new Harry Potter movie and dinner. Nana and Doug took Lexi to the
Aquarium and she loved watching all the creatures swim around.
We had a wonderful time with Nana and look forward to her return to BC in the fall.
The countdown in on until I return to work. School starts a bit late this year so I've still got 3 weeks. My teaching assignment for next year (and beyond hopefully, if I do not get laid off yet again next year) will be 0.6 Learning Assistance on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays at one school, and 0.2 library on Wednesday at a different school. This leaves me off on Fridays to be at home with Lexi. I am thrilled. Now I've just got to cram in all the things I said I would do this summer that I haven't done yet!
