Hello everyone!

Happy summer to you all! Although I had initially planned to update the website while we were away, it looks as though I didn’t. At all. And to start it all off proper, our website is screwing up any pictures I try to upload. Alas that this means there will be no pictures in this post.

This post is really to make sure that I start writing something on here again, even if there are not pictures. Today Spencer and I had a good day – we went downtown to meet up with some other moms who were in my prenatal class. We had a great afternoon just sitting in the shade and chatting – what lovely ladies, and cute babies too! Next week we are hoping to get to Calypso Water Park, just built 20 minutes south east of us, which is one of the largest, if not the largest, water park in Canada. Yay! So excited!

Anyway, I’ll give an overview of our trip in the next post, hopefully along with the pictures :) . Hope everyone’s doing well!

Canada Day!

We spent part of the day on Parliament Hill with Kat, Marc, & Cory, and then went for supper at a pub. It was a great afternoon! I made a new gallery with the photos from the day, as not all of them were of Spencer (though most of them are). We didn’t stay for the concert (worried about the loudness and Spencer’s hearing) nor did we stay for fireworks (we were tired and Spencer needed to sleep). However, we did watch a number of residential fireworks from our balcony, and then finished off with a Stargate Atlantis. Oh, and then I stayed up until midnight finishing The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown. Needless to say, I’m a bit tired today. Overall, the end of the book was a bit of a let down, but there was a good twist on the storyline, so that made up for part of it.

So, today we plan to clean. And clean. Get this place cleaned up both for company that’s coming over for lunch tomorrow, as well as to clean the place before we take off for awhile. That way (I’m gambling) it won’t be as stressful when we return from our trip. I like a clean apartment I can walk into after the stress of traveling. So we’ll see what we’re able to get done.

Oh! And Project Rearrange is nearly complete, for those who remember. We’ve successfully moved the computer into the living room, moved the spare bed into the old computer room, and moved a bookshelf into Spencer’s room. Now we just need to organise all the little things that went everywhere. That will, indeed, be part of our clean up today. We shall see what happens.

I took a picture of Andy yesterday that, oddly, has a striking resemblance to a photo of Spencer from a number of months back (a number! Can you believe it! He’s 5 months old yesterday!). For your comparison, take a good look at these two photos:

Yesterday’s picture: Right before a big spit up by Spencer, you can see the gathering storm in his mouth if you look closely enough. Beware the foaming mouth…

3 wonderful years together, and a wonderful expression of our love has joined us in that time. Andy I love you, and I’m so glad we’re on this journey together!

Spencer today: I put the block in front of him in the hopes of drawing his hands forward to explore it. I keep forgetting that his tongue is his new hand.

Yesterday: This is what Spencer does when he flips out on the floor – he raises his legs (including his pelvis) off the floor to tell us exactly how angry he is about being put on his tummy. Kinda looks like he’s trying to break dance, really.

Farm Boy (grocery store out east here) had a sale on a goat cheese brie this week. Soooo good! Apparently this company makes another type of goat cheese brie as well, which I think I’d like to try one day. Very mild goat cheese flavour, for those who have never tried it before or were turned off by the strong flavour of other soft goat cheeses. It’s made in Quebec, so if you get cheeses from Quebec, definitely look for this one!

Andy only has 3 more days of school left before he’s off for the summer! Yay!

Today’s picture: Spencer and I just sitting around. There are a couple other fun ones that I put up in his gallery as well.
