Summer has arrived!

Okay, so Vancouver does have 'summer'. It just took a loooong time to get here. But this weekend has been gorgeous - I'm sitting under a shady maple tree on the grass near our place (to get a wireless signal). It's 4pm, 26 degrees in the sun with a lovely cool breeze. The only negative is that with the advent of warm weather, my feet and hands have decided to balloon with fluid (making it a little hard to type).
Last night we had a BBQ, and stayed outside until 10pm without a jumper! (Another milestone hehe). The late sunsets are nice. Nathan is studying for his New Testament final which he is doing tomorrow. I've been catching up on some Facebook messages that needed replying to, napping, and that's pretty much it. We caught the last 30 mins of the European Soccer Championship on the way home from church (was being broadcast at a local pub, so we stopped into for some air con, a coke and some good quality soccer on the big screen).
Anyway, July is B-Day month - anytime is a good time for the baby to come. I'm just going to relax, read, possibly bake, and do some crossies while I'm waiting!
We bought a stroller on Friday night, and had fun wheeling it back on the buses - got a few looks because there was no baby hehe. We got a shpping centre gift card from my school community, plus we had some cash from a baby shower earlier in the year, and were able to get a great all-terrain BOB Revolution stroller (since we walk everywhere!) God is really good to us! My bag is basically packed, the baby clothes are washed, the crib is set up. We've been lent a cellphone in case we need it. And Nathan bargained us a good internet deal so we should have that running this week too.
So we are all good! Must dash - the never-ending trips to the bathroom continue!
