And, of course, my sweet boy Blake turned NINE years old on the 7th of August. Wow, can you believe it?! I still haven't grasped that concept yet. We had a little soiree for him on Tuesday night... Uncle Carl came, as well as Michol and the kids, and my cousin Shawn and his beautiful wife, Sarbi. We had BBQ chicken, bake salmon, sushi and all the fixin's. The day before, we spent the day at the WEM waterpark and the boys had a blast in the wave pool and going down alll the rides.. even the scariest of rides! (Ones that *I* wouldn't even do!)

Well, I will have to follow up tomorrow for the long-winded rant.. I am off now to read the boys a story for bed... I will try my hardest to remember to post again in the a.m.! Ciao peoples!

Happy Birthday to our BLAKIE!!!

I cannot believe that 9 years ago this morning.. I was in labour with Blake... unbeknownst to me, just how much my world would change at 6:45 pm on August 7th, 1998. Wow.. what an amazing journey it has been so far.. he is an amazing child whom I feel so blessed to have in my life.
I made a page for his scrapbook this morning....

Tonight we're having a few friends and family over... for dinner and to kinda say goodbye before we move... so everything today is a little bittersweet on so many levels!
Anyways, I have to go clean house, prepare sushi, pick up the cake and so on.... most of all, to spend some time with my new nine year old :)

Back!

What a hectic month it has been! Our trip out to Newfoundland from July 3rd to 17th was absolutely wonderful, I will be posting photos of that shortly....
We had a ball with our extended family and the boys were SO excited to see Poppy again... it had been 5 years! We saw and enjoyed so much, I cannot even begin to start!
After we go back from Newfoundland, I went to BC for the weekend by myself for Emma's baby shower. She is a DARLING. I am so smitten!
Here is a page I did of meeting Emma...

We've had some showings on the house... hopefully a few more and quick sale will be in the future! I will be back with some photos from our trip out East once I scrap them all... there's a lot so I want to make sure they all get done.. and are in order!!
Off to do laundry and tidy up... have a fab weekend!
