The Boulet 5 are HOME!!

We are home and almost normal....no laughing here! We arrived home on Tuesday afternoon, tired and worn down. We decided to call Jody's sister and parents over to surprise them. Nobody knew that we were home yet! They all came right over to be greeted by the little guy with big hugs and kisses. They were very shocked at how well he is adjusting to a new, very different life.
He is doing very well. Not quite loving the fact that he has a huge bed and a room to himself. Putting him to bed can be quite a challenge, especially for Jody. He is getting better about this every day. He is beginning to eat "American" food a little better. He is still holding it in his mouth all chewed up for a very long time. He likes it, says, "Yummm" and chews happily. He just prefers to hold it there. Maybe he thinks he'll make it last a little longer. It will take a little while to convince him that the food supply won't end anytime soon. He had Daddy's crepes yesterday with maple syrup and nutella. He seemed quite smitten with his plate and they all went down really well. He even experienced his first visit to the gym daycare yesterday. He did well! Jody was so happy to be able to work out again after being away and eating so much for all the time we were gone. He is very happy about having an ample clothing supply and many, many pairs of SHOES ("that's my boy", says Jody). It is just going to take a little time to get him to walk in them without tripping. It is so nice to be home and be working toward starting our routine.
Levi, as you all can imagine, was very happy to see us all! He was very well taken care of by our fabulous neighbor, Walter. He was excited about the potential of having another face to lick, another body to throw the tennis ball.... The little guy on the other hand screamed bloody murder upon meeting Levi. It will take some time, but they will be best buds too. The little guy is enjoying throwing the tennis ball for Levi, which makes Levi a very happy dog!
Sophie and Yanic went back to school Wednesday morning. They were both very tired though they did make it through the day. We have decided to take most of the week off from all of our activities until we can get a little more adjusted. Sophie is very excited to get back into the gym and flip around again. Yanic is excited to get back to karate and swimming. He really needs to get that energy out!! The little guy also begins swimming lessons next week. He will probably love this because he was so happy with hotel pools.
We are soo happy to be home and excited for you all to meet our little unnamed boy. By the way, Mike and Jody have given themselves to the end of the weekend to name him. Check back soon to find out and in the mean time.... please send suggestions directly to the comments area of this site! Help!! Until next time, Les Voyages Boulet has landed home!
