After we relocated away from Canada we are told by relatives to visit. I know it’s a nice when they want us to come, but I constantly forget to take a picture of the many things we have to bring. 2 car seats, plus one carry on for Olivia to have stuff to do and snacks, then our own backpacks, a stroller as well as our luggage. Then depending which season we have to visit can be tough. Since it’s warmer here than Alberta, when we went last year we had to bring some light clothing from here to thick Winter gear for Alberta. I didn’t realize how winter clothing can take sooo much room. Oh yeh and winter boots vs sneakers.

Then every time we visit we always end up borrowing and extra suitcase on the way back home cause we end up having more than we brought the first place all from the many gifts from family. I thought our trip to Canada recently would be our first time not having to borrow a luggage but nope. We celebrated a pre- Christmas with the family so we had so much treats that had to be brought with us or some left behind so we only need to borrow a small bag.

Things I look forward to is when the kids are at the stage of listening to their own headphones, when they can go to the bathroom themselves and when we don’t need car seats or strollers.

However the plus at this stage is being able to have priority boarding. It’s like getting into a club first cause you know someone while everyone who are still waiting in line gives you the stink-eye as you board the plane.
Then u just look proudly and say, yup, these are MY kids…I KNOW them hahah…
