Everyone Else

Trucks. Specifically Bruder trucks. They are awesome in every way. I currently have a digger, a garbage truck (actually I have two garbage trucks but one stays at Nana’s), and a logging truck. I’ve been working hard and being a good listener and have saved up about $15 towards my next truck. It’s going to be a combine!

More than five weeks early my sister Norah arrived on Monday at 12:48pm on June 27, weighing in at 2.29kg (5.05lbs). Everyone is happy and healthy. Norah will stay in the NICU for the next couple of weeks to grow and be monitored. All signs point to her just being anxious to join the outside world. Mommy was released the next morning.

The tube in her nose is for feeding – and she hates it! She’s pulled it out many times.

That’s right sports fans, we’re in Bermuda! This is my second time to Bermuda – it’s wonderful. This time a couple of our friends came with us – Yvan and Kathryn. It’s awesome having friends on vacation with us. Here are some pics from the trip so far:

With every passing moment our stay at Trump Waikiki gets better. The room – incredible. The view – terrific. The service – impeccable. From the moment we arrived every staff member has gone above and beyond to ensure that all of our needs are exceeded. There are so many great things about this experience that I don’t know where to begin. Last night was a great example – we wanted to go out for dinner but had not made reservations. It was 5:15pm on the Sunday of a long weekend – everyone was out on the town. We wanted a family-friendly restaurant and asked if The Cheesecake Factory was a good option. Gemma (one of the terrific concierge staff) said it was and called ahead using the power of Trump to get us on the waiting list for a table. When we arrived at the restaurant (less than 15 minutes later) they were quoting upwards of an hour wait to the assembled masses; For us – 15 minutes. Gemma called ahead, put our name on the list, wrote out the details on a Trump reservation card – including her details, and the contact name/number for the person she spoke to at the restaurant. It’s these little things that continue to impress me about this hotel. Daddy is also very impressed.

And just for the heck of it, here’s a photo of me by the pool:

Today was a busy day. Up early to wrestle with Dad (after sleeping through the night. Again.) followed by Aunt Renie’s 100th Birthday Party. The party was fun. I slept through most of it, but the parts I remember were cool – there were singers, dancers and lots of people I’d never met before.

After the party we can home for a quick snack before we headed out to have dinner with Josh & Michelle. Dinner was also a lot of fun. I slept through much of it but the parts I remember were great.
