Just busy




Sorry for the lack of updates!

Just been busy with real life. There was a fire in downtown here at the start of the week & it effected the power in our area where work is. We were with out phone or internet for a few days. But, thankfully had power. And since we don't have a computer at home it left us out of touch with the computer world. I'm really glad we don't have a computer at home though. I don't know how I got anything done before.

On Monday we drove out to Langley to see my friend Mike & meet his new baby frenchie , Steady. Steady is 6 months. He is so sweet & snorts like a pig & has ears the size of a bunny! Mike told us that when little kids get in awe of Steady & his piggie noises and his giant ears, he tells them that, Steady is part bunny pig. Too cute! I love Steady. That is Steady in the pictures above with his dad & then picture of the sunset coming back from Langley that night. I love summer time.

We were watching some wonderful reality television a couple of weeks ago - I think it was America's Got Talent. Well there was this little girl who was 11 and was trying out for the show. She was a contortionist! EGAD! As we watched her, it totally came to me that that was the word I was looking for. Contortion. My youngest is always  putting her legs behind her & doing all these crazy stretches just for fun. The day after the show aired, I googled "contortion" & found this clip on youtube about a school that is here on the lower mainland that specializes in contortion & acrobatic stuff. Guess who's going????!!! She starts next Monday! She has been counting the sleeps & is so excited about this. I'm excited for her too, because this is her first real thing that she has officially joined. She's never done dance classes or gymnastics or anything. She is super shy & has always kind of not been interested in doing things with other kids if she doesn't know them. When the focus gets on her, she kind of shuts down. But, there is something different about this. She truly in into this stretching thing, so let's hope she just has fun with it & enjoys what she's being taught and doesn't worry about anything! I'll keep you posted on it.

Summer seems to be going by so quickly. Sadly I have not had too many days to enjoy it, but treasure each minute I have when I do get out in the sun. I love that sunshine. I wish it was like this year round! We usually go out for our bike ride when I get home every evening. The girls have been staying up pretty late so far this summer, just so they can spend time with me. After the bike ride we usually read books & then watch the late movie on at 11pm! I know!! We can barely keep our eyes open at that point but, we've been catching up on the old Batman Movies. I loved the Catwoman one with Michelle Phieffer. I loved her apartment. I truthfully never watched those movies before. I loved, loved her bedroom. I tried looking for images of it, but couldn't find any :( . We never actually successfully finish watching the movies, but we try our hardest! I'm going to have to rent the Catwoman one, just so I can see how it ends. I hate just watching half of movies. Also so I can take in her whole place.

No sewing to mention, but have a few things that need to be attended to!

Have a great weekend everyone!
