... I shyly took a business card from someone, not knowing that I was starting a trip of a lifetime...

A summer divided.

 Now that Micaela's procedure is done, we can get to the fun part of this summer. Mummy's here, the kids are geared to go and Mike is off to hit the books (once again). We have a trip to Great Wolf Lodge behind us. That was fun. Also, a week at the trailer. That too was fun. The visit with my mum is going really well. The kids are totally enjoying having her here. And so am I!!! :)


Swimming lessons :)


Checking out the old fire house.



Sight seeing at an old settlers village...













Demetri's ice-cream shoppe...YUMMM!




Off to the beach! woohoo!!


Peek-a-boo in the tent.

Michael and I have actually managed to get in a few dates, and even a weekend away at the trailer! I'm not gonna lie... as much as I missed the kids, I didn't really miss them! hehe It was the first time we went away without the kids and it was glorious. He had alot of reading to do and so was away most of the time and that left me with nothing but my own company. I discovered that I'm a pretty cool person to hang out with!




Going to chill by the camp fire :) hehe 





Our 7th anniversary date at the Pillar and Post in Niagara-on-the-lake.
All in all, not much happened after Micaela's procedure except some quality time with Oumie and the family. I think everyone was sort of just very happy that the op was all behind us and our princess was fine!

I need an 'easy button'.

It's official... I suck at keeping any kind of diary, journal, blog, etc. I thought it would be so easy, because I   spend so much time in front of this laptop and the 3 blogs I follow are all good and the bloggers make it seem such a simple thing to do. So why am I so bad at it? I'm computer literate and though I dont have a creative bone in my body, there's not much to think about... it's all on the screen in front of me. All I have to do is click!

What is it that makes one good at these kinds of activities? I clearly don't have 'it'. I had a good giggle at myself today ... it took me a while before I found the "new post" button  to even start this whining session!!! 
I still feel like I want to do it, though. I'm going to give it another go. I will have to do a post-dated catchup first and then try to keep it up. Also see about adding some pics, videos and fancying it up some. Yup, that's the plan. All I have to do is follow through :)

Off to exploring the blogging world I go!!!

Oh look! I figured out how to add pictures!
