As much as I complained that James "wasted" his vacation time by taking spring break off, I'm so thankful he did! We had quite a busy week and so happy that we got to spend every waking moment as a family together. The first Saturday we went to the Commercial Street Park followed by Greek dinner with the whole Chan family. Matthew cut the dinner a little short, but luckily we were planning on leaving anyway. He's in a screaming phase now so...we had to leave! (The picture of Clayton covering his ears with Matthew is where Clayton is saying Matthew's too loud with his screams!) Sunday we bought an apartment, yep an apartment at the Telus Gardens in downtown. It's supposed to be an investment property between my brother and I but it's turning out to be a "let's keep it just in case we get too drunk after a hockey game, a weekend get-a-way, a place to change diapers, a place to take a nap if needed"...we'll see what really happens when the bills start rolling in! Then after the big purchase we met up with our friends for dinner to use up our American Grille Groupons. The kiddies were all so good! Then on Monday, the three of us headed south to the border to do a little shopping. On Tuesday, we squeezed in a quick workout then went to meet the Wangs for dimsum lunch at Golden Harvest. After nap, we met up with both sets of parents at Sushi Garden. Wednesday rolled around and since I had a meeting at the lawyers in downtown, James and I decided to make it a day of it. Matthew's been really good napping in the stroller so it was an easy decision. We then had family dinner at the Chinese restaurant at the Grand Villa Casino. Thursday, we took it easy and just went for dim sum with my parents as they were on babysitting duty with Clayton and then went to the Brentwood Mall indoor playground for 30 minutes of fun. Sunny Friday came along and we went to yaletown and found parking right away! Amazing! We took the skytrain to waterfront and then the seabus to go claim 3lbs of clams for me! Yum Yum in my tum tum! Then after lunch, Matthew took a nice nap as we headed back to Yaletown to meet Anthony for happy hour at Rodney's. 30 oysters each later, we went to Red Robin's to meet up with my family for dinner. We then went to Jas' grand opening of her branch on Saturday, ate with the guys who went and then strolled Main Street as Matthew napped in the stroller again. Then I took Matthew to Central Park while James went to play hockey. Today, my parents, Matthew and I went downtown to Kirin for lunch, then again strolled Robson while Matthew napped in his stroller. We came home shortly after he awoke from his nap to meet up with daddy (his first day back to work) to go to the playground at the elementary school next door. Then we had family dinner at home. Phew, what a week of doing nothing really but having tons of fun doing it! Until the next week off which is in May. We just bought tickets to LA so planning on meeting Mickey and the gang for the first time for little Matthew! Woo-hoo!
Here's a video of Clayton and Matthew playing.
