We Have a Home!

Finally, the Carter/Cain family has a home. Kellon accepted an apartment this afternoon. I of course only have a description but I will pass on as I have been told. It is a 1 Bedroom apartment with an open concept kitchen, dining and living room. It has one bathroom (unfortunately no tub :( ) and aparently the bedroom is very big so we plan on sectioning a part off for Mekhi's sleeping space. It comes fully furnished and all bills included minus cable. It has a veranda on the front and is quite spacious. We had wanted a two bedroom but the two bedrooms Kellon looked at were not acceptable. The apartment is in the Grand Anse area, which is the touristy area, right by Grand Anse Beach. Its about 20 minute walk from the beach, grocery store and laundrymat (walking without a stroller so for me and Mekhi a bit longer). Now we do plan on doing laundry by hand as that is whats done there so Kellon says he'll teach me, oh goodness, I don't want to hear anyone complain about laundry day here haha. Kellon will be meeting with the landlady on Monday to settle contract details and accept the keys, as is his skeptical nature, he doesn't believe it until the keys are in his hand, me i'm a dreamer so i'm on cloud 9. The apartment is ours for 2 months as a trial period and as long as all bills are paid up then the contract is extended. That works well for us in case we find ourselves needing to move to a less expensive place, or even to a bigger or nicer place.
All last minute details are being taken care of, Kellon is doing his first grocery shop for "baby stuff" to have in the apartment and is nervous he will get the wrong stuff heee hee. Here, i'm stressing over lack of luggage space and weight of luggage. Guess thats the way it is when always packing.
We are hoping to have Internet within the first month of getting to Grenada and then can continue with blogging and MSN as long distance is way too expensive, after all, webcam moments are super fun anyways.
This just may be the last post until we get settled, so I wish everyone lots of fun and love during the holiday seasons and we'll talk to you all soon.

5 Months!

5 Months old now and just getting bigger. Mekhi was weighed in today and is 17pounds and 11 ounzes and 26.5 inches long. Pretty sure he's gonna be like 6 feet in a few months haha. We've had a very busy weekend, Auntie Brandee came to town and she kept Mekhi on his toes. This made for many late nights and early mornings for Mekhi, I think he's going to sleep like a "baby" now. We had a photo shoot with Auntie Brandee at the Kenora Airport which for those of you who have never been there, probably these photos show the entire airport ;)

So for the next two weeks its time to pack up, sending a few boxes ahead to Grenada and then figuring out how to pack the rest of our life in two suitcases! Kellon will be disembarking the ship tomorrow and returning to Grenada to get us an apartment and start job hunting. No rest for the wicked hee hee.

Passport has Arrived!

Just a short update. Finally all the hard work, bumpy roads, hoops to jump through have lead us to a happy outcome. Mekhi's passport arrived today!!!!! Big sigh of relief as now we have nothing more holding us back from our departure date of the 4th of December! Guess Christmas will be a sunny one.

Mekhi vs Winnie the Pooh

Today Mekhi met his very first Winnie the Pooh. Once we got home they had their first real encounter, took Mekhi some time to warm up to him as he wasn't trusting right away. But by the end, they became friends. Not without a rumble in the middle. Sorry the rumble is on video which won't load, will come later
