Update...

So it's been over a month and a half again since I last posted. Rachel is now over 3 1/2 months old and continuing to grow like a weed. It's amazing to see her grow and learn new things right before our eyes. She is now constantly rolling over from her back onto her tummy, and never stays on her back for sleeping at night. She always promptly rolls either onto her side or right onto her tummy when we put her down. The last 4 nights she's slept awesome, right through the night! Last night she slept from 9 pm till 8 am! :)
Rebecca is getting bigger too and in just a month and a half from now will be attending the Elves Society preschool program! Yup, we are moving to Edmonton in a month from now. Edmonton will be better for Rebecca in the long run, with more services and programs for her. The preschool program will benefit both her and us, as it will allow me to go out and do shopping etc during the day with Rachel. It's almost impossible for me to get out myself with both of them, which usually means I spend most days in the house.
We just got back from a very quick 2 week trip to Winnipeg, where we helped my parents move from their house into an aparment. The time was just not long enough though, and when we left the apartment was still piled full of boxes with nothing put away. I wished I could have stayed longer but it was just not possible.
Here are some pictures taken over the last month...

Rebecca & Rachel wearing their matching sundresses from Tante Barbara.

All smiles!

Moni! I pretty much haven't seen you or the girls since your last post and now you are heading off into the sunset! Or is it sunrise? (I will MISS you.) I love seeing your girls together. G-FORCE!

wow! such beautiful girls! they grow so darn fast!

that's really cool that you'll be in edmonton! maybe there's a chance we can meet, cause honestly, way out in yellowknife, there's no chance, you know what I mean. and that's super awesome for rebecca. You will find so much more support I'm sure. I couldn't have lived or survived without all the support we got out here! it's so important, especailly as they get older and bigger.

Kelli - We don't get possession of the house till Sept 2. Will you still be in Edmonton then? It would be great to see you guys!

Kandace - Looking forward to seeing you! So cool how we both ended up in the same city!

Colleen - I know, time is just going by WAY too fast....I will miss you too!

Carebear - Yes, maybe we will meet one day...you're right,the chances are much better living in Edmonton than in Yellowknife!
