So this was the first time since Jake was born, that we were able to take an entire evening out together. I guess that means special thanks to Mark and Lindsay who took care of Jake while Heidi and I relaxed and spent our anniversary wandering the many Ottawa park paths that comprised our courtship. Thank you. News on the Jakester front is that his teeth are busting to get through and he continues to drool non-stop. My prediction is that he will be crawling THIS week … we’ll see how close I am next Monday. While Jake may not always think so, we believe it’s a reason to smile.

Heidi says I need to apologize for not doing an update on a Monday. My excuse (note the excuse part) was that Monday was a holiday and I got to take a vacation – the second one (note the pictures from San Francisco) in a little over a week.

Little happening here except that Jake is sitting up like a trooper and soooo close to beginning to crawl. His language consists of incessant “dadadada” all day long and not entirely happy face as the first teeth are pushing their way through.

Oh yes, in other news, Heidi and I have “completed” the second room in the house – our bedroom. Finally! 🙂 It is filled with so many gifts from … Mats, my family, my mother, Grandma and Grandpa Rule, Jen, Coralie, Heather and a million others. Thank you to all. You certainly have given us another reason to smile.
