Samantha and I are back in Vancouver!!! We had a pretty hard time getting to the airport this morning, but it all worked out, and we made the flight that we wanted. Peter, Sandy, and Conner were on the flight with us, and ended up sitting in the row right in front of us. It was quite nice to have them on the flight as well, just to have someone else to talk to. The flight was good, and we were really excited to get back to see Christine and Brenn.

We all went out for lunch, and Brenn sat in my lap for most of the time, it was great, just to get the cuddle. It was a beautiful day here in Vancouver. The sun was shining, the beaches were packed, and there were people walking everywhere. We came back to the house after lunch, in order to meet my mom here, and then after a while, we decided to go down to the beach to get some fresh air, and feel the sun on our skin. We got to the beach, and both girls were starting to get a little cranky from lack of sleep most likely. Brenn had forgotten her hat at home, so we gave her one of the two hats that Samantha had in the car. Only one of the hats fit Brenns head, unfortunately, it is Samanthas favorite. This started a huge war, and both girls ended up getting really upset, and both were really uncontrollably crying, so the trip to the beach was ended before we even got to the sand. Oh well, I guess there is always tomorrow. This is one of the hardest issues that we have with the girls right now, we are really trying to balance our attentions, and keep both kids happy, but they are progressively getting more stressed, and this leads to more and more crying. Being away from home for so long with all the changes has really been hard, and this will likely be an issue for the rest of our stay down here. Hopefully we will be able to get to a point that it is manageable though. I just pray that the kids are happy and healthy, and we can deal with the rest!

Any way, it's been a really long day, so I will sign off, and talk more tomorrow.
