We leave for Philly next week!

Thank you to everyone who helped us reach our fundraising goal this year.  we really appreciate everything – those of you who bought coffee…. LEVEN’S coffee company for being so damned delicious, Marie Tupper and Aaron Green for going above and beyond helping us out.  Truly, it’s been a crazy year.

This long weekend, we took Ozzie out to not one, but TWO weddings…. followed by a day at the lake with my family.  At the first wedding, one of Brad’s relatives (Hi Auntie Kathy!!) mentioned how great it was that we had this blog so people could keep up to date with how Ozzie’s doing – but, it would be nice to hear some good stuff.

Guilty.  It’s so easy to vent when things are going wrong – hard to remember to post about the great stuff…

Speaking of great stuff – Cedric turned 4 yesterday!

i can’t believe i’m the mother of a 4 year old.

Ozzie is getting more and more hilarious, as his personality is changing and he’s becoming his own person.  He laughs at Cedric all the time, he has a sense of humour! it’s so weird because we often think of him as a little baby still – but he IS almost two….

He’s so very close to standing on his own.  he just needs a bit more strength and a bit more balance… then it won’t be long before he’s walking all over the place.  which will be fantastic.

and it’s interesting to see the differences between the two boys… Cedric is high energy, Ozzie is laid back, Cedric is fairly indifferent to instruments, Ozzie would sit at the piano all day if we’d let him.

i’m not sure how much i’ll be posting before we leave, but i hope to post once or twice from Philadelphia.

Take care, Internets!
