After arriving in Canada about 9 hours before Brandon was born, my Mum left us last Saturday after almost 7 weeks. If you'd told me then that after 7 weeks of living with my Mum as a grown man that I would be sorry to see her leave, I potentially would have fallen to the ground in fits of laughter! As it turns out however, Cammie, Brandon and I were all very sorry to see her go and cannot thank her enough for everything she did for us while she was here.
Not only was she an amazing help with changing nappies, bathing, putting to sleep, baby sitting, feeding, reading books, playing games, spit-wiping, and all the other regular "babyish" tasks.......she was even more importantly a voice of calm and reason during times of worry and stress that I'm sure all first time parents go through...at least I hope they do! She also acted as our own personal seamstress, making Brandon's first Halloween costume, 4 Christmas stockings, and many other items to numerous to mention. Mum - I am proud to say that we were the envy of every new parent in Vancouver. Anyone who met you or who spoke to Cammie during the time you were here wanted to hire you for themselves.......a thought for the future maybe? ;-)

Our question for you is what single moment was the BIGGEST highlight of your time with us?
Thank you so much for everything you did and for all the valuable advice you passed on. We are already looking forward to seeing you in January.
