Cavalia

Last night we celebrated my b-day by going to Les 3 Brasseurs for a yummy Flamme. Basically it's a very thin crust pizza. 

Then it was off to Cavalia. It was a beautiful show. One of the creators of Cirque du Soleil dreamed it up, so you can imagine what it was like. Visually stunning and very entertaining. 

No pics were allowed but I took this one of the backdrop during intermission. I want a horse!  Cavalia

In other news, I'm so happy that my month of double the work is over. My co-worker, went away to Italy for a month to visit family, leaving me with a ton of responsibility. In a nutshell, I've been pushing on with a few frustrations and mini heart attacks. Can't wait til she comes back so I can take a much needed holiday. I've hardly been home and I feel like I'm missing out on family time.

Also, I'm very excited that I'll be taking an online course with Cari! I'm picking up my sewing machine next weekend. :-) I've always wanted to pick it up as a hobby but didn't really know where I could learn the trade. It starts with the basics and has some interesting projects. This is a perfect outlet for me, I need some me time too. I can do the course at my own pace. Here's more info in case anyone is interested. Sewing

Congratulations to Annick and Carlo on their new addition. Welcome Nathan!!!

Nikko (The Italian Husky)

In other news... we got another dog! Now we have 3! Sorry, we're not that coo-coo!

We're babysitting this Siberian Husky for 2 weeks for my co-worker. He's pretty dominant and he likes to chew Jacob's toys. He also pooped in front of Jacob's crib twice, and ran away once. And I don't think that Maya is a virgin anymore.

That was all in the first week. We ran his furry butt BIG TIME today and he's doing way better.

We actually like him now.

Marineland

Marineland was a lot of fun. The dolphin show was wonderful and the resident walrus was GIGANTIC!

I was surprised to see how many rides there were. The boys were on them for a large portion of the day.

Grampie got hosed down by a sperm whale. Many gross jokes...

There were even some pretty sad bears...

Jacob is always up for a laugh

Zach got soaked too

Josh loved the deer. He loves animals

Jacob was super pooped by the end of the day!

Long Time No See

Ok so I admit, I've dropped off the face of the earth but all is well. I don't really have time to sit down until about 10 p.m., so my free time doesn't usually include blogging anymore. I'm missing it lately.

Once upon a time, I never let a week go by without posting something!

Jacob is as charming as ever! He took his first steps at a Tim Hortons on July 1st weekend. How Patriotic! :-)

We were on our way to see Rich's Dad in Ontario. We had a great time and managed to squeeze in a trip to Marineland.

Will post more pics this weekend.
