Busy days (and nights)

Been awhile since I updated. We've been busy. Wondering what's up with the Bain/Holmes family. Read below:

Don - Last seen heading for Kelowna as part of the mysterious "Campbell delegation". Actually he's attending the First Ministers meeting with the Leadership Council. The night before he left I asked him what he was going to wear. He started searching for his suit, not seen since Grant and Jen's wedding. After taking one look at the bundle, Dakota and I decided he needed a couple of new shirts and ties so off we went. Calum and I have been sending him text messages and it appears all is going well so far.

Desiree - Quit her job awhile back and is enjoying the free life again. She's busy with bass lessons and is even learning some of the songs Don loves. She's planning a "Survivor Night" tonight and we will have a few of her friends over to watch Survivor and a movie. Poor Don is going to miss all of the fun.

Dakota - Still delivering her papers on Wednesday and Saturday, though it's getting harder now that Christmas is on the way and she's getting a lot of flyers. She does enjoy having a little extra cash though. She's back on the skateboard and is doing well.

Calum - Now has two teeth coming in that we've named "Chomper 1" and "Chomper 2". Likes to bite mom with them. He is very nearly crawling - expect he'll be really mobile soon so we are enjoying the peace and quiet while we can. He's settled into a routine at daycare and enjoys going there. I still go up to feed him at lunchtime and Desiree, Chris and Dakota visit too so he's a very popular little boy. We just got him a new winter jacket but he doesn't like to be bundled up too mych. He's finished him swim lessons and even went off the low diving board on the last class. It was funny. They wore life jackets and one instructor just passed him down to another that was already in the water. Still, not many kids can say they've gone off the diving board at 8 months old.

Me - Working, finished with the ASL classes, started Christmas shopping. Calum and I plan to put up the decorations this weekend. Most of my shopping was done online so far so I just wait for the packages to arrive as I work away. Expect to be very happy when Don returns from his latest trip - the last for awhile thank goodness. Things just aren't the same around here without him.

That's it for us. Hope all is well for everyone else. Happy almost birthday mom.
