1- Oliver and I celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary at the beginning of the month. Hard to believe it's been 9 years!
2- Oliver's birthday was last weekend and he took Sofia camping at Wheatley Provincial Park, where he met his parents. From what I hear they had a great time. Adelaide and I went to BGSU instead for a family reunion with my dad's cousins and their families. We had a nice little road trip with Kate, Emily, and Amelia too. It's fun being on a college campus and it was nice to see all the family and visit. It was especially interesting looking at all of the pictures the cousins brought of my great grandparents and their families. I have to post some of these.
3- We are headed to Toronto for Labor Day weekend. It's been since before Easter that we've been there. I'm looking forward to being in the city and hopefully getting a date night while we're there.
4- We are in the midst of planning a big trip to London in November! Oliver's brother is getting married and it looks like all 4 of us are going to go for a week and a half.
5- Sofia is doing very well. Her energy is great. Her coloring is really good. Her pulse ox is at about 91. She will be having a heart cath on October 1st. She has a little narrowing near one of her pulmonary arteries (the exact location is confusing to me b/c apparently it is not one of her arteries but near the opening of it, but behind the heart? I think I need to see a picture of this). So she will require a stent. Dr. Edwards was ok with waiting until winter, possibly around Christmas time, but with planning a trip overseas we have decided to do it a month prior. At the same time, if needed, they will coil any collateral vessels (which is probably the cause of her pulse ox hanging out in the low 90s instead of mid 90s). Dr. Golden will perform the cath. He did her pre-surgery cath and we are comfortable with him.
6- Sofia starts preschool on the Tues. following Labor Day. So excited for her! We are also registering her for gymnastics class. I think she is going to love these things and has been cleared by Dr. Edwards to do any kind of physical activity. She will self-regulate.
7- Adelaide is talking up a storm and in my biased opinion, is such a bright child. She is very entertaining. She loves her big sister so much. She is almost at the age that Sofia was when Adelaide was born. That is crazy to me because Adelaide still seems like such a baby. They are only 22 1/2 months apart.
8- I guess that's it. I don't know why I'm numbering these things. I love that fall is on the way...my favorite season of the year!
