We're back but no longer in the 'Wack!

It has been a little over 3 weeks since we moved to Courtenay and things are going well. It has been crazy busy unpacking, moving things around, getting used to our new surroundings. So I do apologize for not writing sooner but I hope you'll forgive me.

Here's a quick recap of the first 3 weeks in a new place.
- Arrived on a Wednesday and that evening picked up Grandma Lynda from the airport to help us move in. We were so lucky to have her come for a week because that first week went by like lightning. She was a great help getting things unpacked and organized.
- That weekend Cam, Carmen, and Andy came out to help us get some needed work done on the yard (which happens to be a small 1/2 acre lot)
- the following weekend our friends from Chilliwack who now live on the island in opposite directions from us came to our house to have dinner. So it was nice to see Sian, Derek, Karen, Ryan and Liam's buddy Sam again.
- Now my parents are leaving tomorrow after spending a week with us which was fabulous having extra sets of hands as we continue to move in and of course my luck would be to have one fussy baby Torr as he worked through 4 teeth emerging over the last three weeks. Basically he moved here without teeth and now 3 1/2 weeks later he has four. Who would have thought?
- While my parents were here we decided to do a road trip to Victoria to see my Godparents who happen to be Robertsons as well. Lucky for us their two kids who Miles and I grew up with were able to come visit along with their kids...all boys so you could only imagine what our visit was like. Rita and Clair thanks for the hospitality and we will be out again to visit you but for longer next time. Please pass on a hello to Danny and Stephanie - congrats on the birth of Hunter and say hi to Heath, and hi to Tracey, Blaine, Ethan and Gavin!

Alright i'm overwhelmed with writing this post and that could only mean you've probably stopped reading this and have skipped to the photos all ready. I will be more consistent on blogging now that life is a little bit more routine.

that's all for now.
Matt, Monique, Liam and Torr
