Cottage Life

It's a long weekend in Canada (Civic Holiday). We are currently up in Muskoka at the cottage. I blogged about the cottage last summer when we were up with our two little peanuts. Being up here with 14-month olds versus 8-week olds is a completely different ballgame. I thought I was going to lose my mind on the first morning. Quinn led the way in showing us what needed to be baby-proofed. After installing cabinet stoppers, gates on the deck and moving some furniture around, we were in good shape. 

The girls and I are fortunate enough to be spending the next three weeks up here. So far, they've adjusted well and are loving their new surroundings, especially the huge deck. Teagan continues to find her walking legs and is becoming more adventurous. They've been sleeping amazingly well (12 hour nights and 2 loooong naps!). I hope I'm not jinxing myself in saying that. 

They had their first swim in the lake the other day. They were a bit unsure but it was a great first attempt.

There will be many more stories and pictures to come!

  2. Looks WONDERFUL. Three weeks sounds like a dream. Hope the girls continue to sleep well up there. I'm sure they're exhausted by all the swimming and running around there is to do.

    I love that the dogs come in to swim with you guys!

    (I also love Quinn's stripey sweater.)
