My dad and Jan came to town the other day and we had a wonderful visit. Fortunately, I got over my insomnia the first night they were here so I was able to appreciate my time with them in a more rested state!!! What was also wonderful is that they took Gabriel and Mathieu with them to the cottage a couple of days earlier than us so we got to have two quiet nights "alone" together (Alex doesn't count since he can't talk yet!). Vincent and I took advantage of having significantly less children by taking walks together and going out for supper. We joined Dad and Jan at the cottage on Saturday and had a beautiful weekend and more chance to visit. The weather was amazing and it was great to be able to jog in the sunshine and fresh air. We also got a chance to visit a sugar shack down the road from us which Dad and Jan really appreciated. Vincent came home with 10 cans of maple syrup.

The boys started their swimming lessons this weekend at the pool in town. Gabriel was a little upset at first that Vincent was not going to be with him in the pool anymore but he adapted quickly and had a good time.

On my side, I stared Cardio-poussette last week and am enjoying running in the park with the mommies yet again!

I can say now that it really feels like I am coming out of cocooning mode. The first months with a baby are the most challenging in some ways but it feels like we have made it through. The warmer weather is upon us and I am looking forward to being able to spend more time outside with the kids. Vincent left for Toronto today and won't be back till tomorrow. I have all three kids at home with me today since Mathieu has no school so hopefully we can spend a lot of time outside in the park!
