Back To The Grind!!!
Well I must say that this has been one tough week for me! It's always rough getting back to the grind after a week of vacation. Luckily, the time flew by really fast and it's already the weekend again, it's hard to believe that a week ago I was going to the fireworks at Parliament Hill! I have a feeling that this summer is going to fly by much too quickly..
Mitch had a really hard time adjusting when he got home. Our first day back, and he's saying, "What do we have planned for today Mom?". The trip to Ottawa got him in "planning mode", so now he feels that every minute he has to have something to look forward to. He was quite disappointed to learn that I was going to work, so disappointed that he flew the coop to Dad and Donna's house for a couple of nights. Darcy and I were too boring for him! I figured since he was gone, I would just relax and get caught up on some much needed sleep. Things don't always work out that way though, instead we visited lots of people, and had lots of visitors. But that was nice too! Our first two days home were spent showing our parents pictures and video from our trip..plus a couple of visits down to Dad's to drop Mitch off and pick him up again. Colleen, Danny and Daniel had been home for the long weekend, so they stopped in on Monday before heading back to Gornish. Daniel is growing like a weed, and we got to see him eat pears for the first time..too cute!
A couple of nights Kim stopped by, and Rickey was here once too..we hadn't seen him in ages! Rickey is planning a trip to Ottawa in a couple of weeks, so he wanted to see how we made out, what the drive was like, and so on. Melanie stopped in with Benjamin for a quick visit..that reminds me, she had sent us a really cute picture of him...
While we were gone away, our friends Michelle and Cleve moved into their new home..congratulations guys! I wish we could have helped you out with the moving, Sorry! They are both really excited, and they have a really nice place, in a quiet subdivision, very private! I'm so jealous! Heh heh! We were invited over to their house last night, unfortunately I just didn't have an ounce of energy left! I think it's a good thing that I have no plans for this weekend..maybe next time guys! I ended up sitting here last night talking to Coll and Dan on MSN, and she sent me some new photos of Daniel, and this one of all the Knowles boys (Danny's brother's Dave and Troy, Danny, Danny's Dad Brian, and of course Daniel). I think it's a really nice pic, I find Daniel looks so much like Troy!
On a sadder note, Mitchell's hamster George died on Thursday, poor George! Mitch was pretty upset about the whole thing, it was the first time he had a pet that was just his. He and Darcy buried him in the backyard, and now Mitch is already thinking about what kind of pet he'd like next. He doesn't want another hamster because they don't live long enough. We told him to wait a while, the last thing we need right now is another creature..as most of you already know! LOL
We talked to Dean today on the webcam, he's getting really excited to come home this fall. So are we Dean..we miss ya buddy! And Jade, we miss you too! I was so glad to hear that she decided to come home with him, originally she was going to stay in Korea. They'll be home for a couple of months, during hunting season..go figure! I don't mean to wish my summer away, but I can't wait!
And speaking of "can't wait"..I'm so excited for this coming weekend! I'm going to the camp, woo hoo! Do I ever miss that place! I'm having a "girls night" on Saturday night up there, it should be a blast! All of us are heading up on Friday, and on Sat. Darcy, Mitch and Chris are heading off into the wilderness to sleep in a tent and go salmon fishing. Darcy is starting off another week of vacation...lucky bugger! So, he and Mitch are staying up there all week long..I get to come back home and work! :(
Oh well, I guess I can't have it all! I don't have anymore vacation days until October, (Matt's wedding, and a camp trip with Dean and Jade)..and then of course Christmas! I love having Christmas off, and this year Matt and Karine are coming home too, so that's a bonus! Anyway, the camp trip will be posted on the life at the camp blog..so you can check out the details there! Oh, and if you've read the blog from our Ottawa trip, check out the two new videos I added! That's enough typing for one day! Till next time,

Hey Liss,
I just realized your blog did the same thing mine did when I added video. It pushed all your links and other post information way to the bottom. That's what I took the direct video off the blog and made them links instead. Just letting you know.

Thanks for telling me..I was wondering why that happened. Do you suppose it will go back to normal next month when July's posts go into the archives, or will I have to do what you did? If so, you'll have to tell me what you did!

It just may go back up after it archives, I didn't leave it on long enough to test it out. What I did is copy the link that Youtube provides you if you want to make a hyper link. Then in your message, just type out the word link or whatever you want to call it and make it a hyper link using the link button. You just paste in the url.

OK, I think I'll wait till next month, see if it changes when it archives, if not, then I'll change it to a hyper link. Thanks for the info!
