Daycare starts tomorrow (yeah!)

Hi again all,

So, first off, the girls are doing really well. They are acting completely well, and I've given up on trying to keep them from running. We're still not riding bikes or going to the park, for a few more days, but otherwise things are back to normal. I'm not sure we're done yet with the whole tonsil ordeal (not sure if the scabs are off yet) but at the very least we're nearing the end. For about a week after the surgeries the girls did not sleep well at all, but things are much improved and last night none of the kids woke up during the night. Yeah!!

Tomorrow the girls start at a new daycare. We will be easing them in this week, so tomorrow they will probably only go for an hour or so, and then we'll increase it a bit each day and see how it goes. I expect they will be fine with it. We've talked a lot over the last months about going to Shauna's house, and they seem fine with it.

Tuesday, they both have their interviews with their new teacher, so that will be fun. And then next week they each go to school for one day (well actually, for 2.5 hours of one day); and the following week they start school for real. I can't believe it. When did they turn from babies into little girls?! I'll try to remember to take pictures of them on their first day of school, to post here.

Also this week, DoT's family will arrive in Ottawa for a visit. This will be the first time most of them have met B. They are renting a cottage not too far from Ottawa, so hopefully we'll get to spend lots of time visiting with them.

And I know you haven't seen a lot of pictures on this blog lately, so I'll end with a few pics today. The first one shows the girls and DoT a bit later in the day after we were at home following their surgeries. Can you tell one of them feels better than the other? :-)

This is E a few days later, after having spent the weekend back in the hospital...

And here are a few pics of them with the giant animals that DoT bought them at the hospital gift shop. The frog is named Hip Bone and the tiger is named Leo. (The frog was originally A's but E really wanted it and A was nice enough to trade. What a nice sister.)

And finally, here's a shot of B. He's really into the Thomas set lately...
