We are settling back into our routines and back into our lives in Ottawa, although we miss what we have left behind.
We are grateful to have seen our families and friends, though. That alone has made for a wonderful summer, albeit a tiring one.

Rose is growing and changing so fast. Even though this picture is only a few weeks old, it's out of date already. She's getting plumper and impossibly cuter. She has started to laugh. A lot. She is a delightful baby. This morning she was giggling in her sleep. Finn, not just dreams, is funny too. She was fussing and crying, and Finn came over and let her play with his hair. She was running her hands in and pulling on his hair and laughing about it. Finn was entertained too. Wow! They played together, and no one lost an eye.
