I'm sitting here watching the opening ceremonies of the Olympics, and remembering when my brother was walking amongst all the canadian athletes 4 years ago in Athens, he was on the baseball team, and it was so exciting seeing him walking there with all the athletes!! It just gave me chills watching all these countries, what a thrill!!

I know its been one month exactly since my last entry, sorry to all my stalkers.......

Not too much has happened around here, we were really lucky to have had such nice weather, so we took full advantage and spent many a days at the waterpark and in the backyard. Mareesa had a one week soccer camp which she loved, her little friend Ryleigh was in it so they ran and chased eachother around the field. She also started creative dance, which is really hard for me because it starts at 9am and she usually sleeps till then, so I have to drag her out of bed and bribe her just to get her there, I hope she'll be better when its school time or i'll be out of luck, not looking forward to that at all!!!!!! Dance class is cute but Mareesa and the other little girls get side tracted very easily which makes it difficult for the instructor, at least its only for half an our. It runs until the end of this month and thats it for her this summer. She'll have to do with just playdates and waterparks.

My baby boy Ronin, he's growing so fast, he's crawling all over the place and he's about ready to start walking I'm sure. He is so cute and I'm hoping that he'll start walking before I go back to work Sept.22, to be exact, which I am dreading more and more each day.......

We spent a week and a half with Kal's parents before they were off again for about 5 months on their European tour, it was nice for the kids to spend that time with them, they travel soo much and we don't want them to miss out in seeing the kids when they are home. We went for a day trip to the states and went shopping at the Burlington Outlets and Bellis Fair mall, Ronin got a new wardrobe for when he's a little bigger, Mareesa has enough clothes right now so the next trip will be for her new wardrobe. We shopped at Carters, that store is awesome for bargains. The kids were really good, seeing that we were putting them in their car seats to their stroller a few times in when we were in the mall we let them have some fun playing around.

Last friday I took the kidlets to Captain Kids fun centre, it was our first time there, I'm not too keen on taking Mareesa and Ronin to places like that without Kal, but we did it, Mareesa had a blast, she loved the climbing and the slides, which I did go down with her, I was really scared, it was so steep, but Mareesa had no fear, there was this cute little boy trying to talk me into going down the slide, which we finally did!! We met with Ryleigh and Mac, Mareesa and Ronin's little friends, they had soo much fun, I guess we'll be going back, maybe next time Kal will be there to enjoy in the fun!!
