Time sure flies when you're having fun, doesn't it? I can't believe we are already heading home tomorrow, when it feels like we only just got here. We had a great time here and have plenty of pictures to re-live our first family vacation with Gemma. And as fun as it was, it was also exhausting - can't wait to get back to our own beds and our usual routine (for a week anyway - we're off to Vancouver for May long weekend)...
This week has been a week of many firsts for Gemma - first time flying, first time away from home for this long, first time in a different time zone (2 hours ahead), first time visiting all these places (Niagara Falls, Toroto in general), first time tasting many new foods (including Wanda's waffles!), but the craziest first must be the first time passing out in the car and not waking up through unbuckling, being carried to the condo, being placed in the pack n' play, and then staying asleep! For us, it's absolutely hilarious to see as she is NEVER EVER like this! Mind you, she's never done so much running around and her mind is constantly absorbing every new experience - of course she is exhausted!
Thanks to my friends, Paige and Stephanie, and their advice on flying with Gemma, the actual flight wasn't bad at all. I hope it will be the same on our way home tomorrow. Also, thanks to my coworker, Jackie, Reggie has been having a ball and getting some much-needed loving in their home for the week. It's very nice to have people willing and happy to help. Thank you!
I hope going back to routine won't be so hard once we get back. I think Gemma is going to be so bored, though, and is going to go crazy in the house... and i'm sure she'll be missing her uncle, but hopefully he will come visit soon.
