Weekend adventure

It was a fantastic weekend. My family was so great and we got to spend some wonderful time with them. After we left though I realized we didn't take any pictures, not at the park or anything...booo! Well when you guys come through Kingston we will do a photo shoot of sorts!
After we left Toronto we went to St.Catherines to visit Dan's mom and that was also very great! We had a few drinks and a nice meal and went to bed fairly early. Sunday we went to the Niagara indoor water park and that was a blast! I was frightened of a few of the slides but overall well worth it to go down.
Dan and I then went off on our own and wandered the streets looking for a tattoo parlor and finally found one and got matching tattoos. It's a viking symbol for love loyalty and passion, I will post some pics of them soon. We then had a nice meal at the Sheraton hotel restaurant and our table overlooked the falls it was quite romantic!
Monday we again walked around up and down and up and down Clifton hill and OMG my legs are so sore from that tour! Dan took Kassy to the fun place, haunted house and the crazy maze, while Joanne (Dan's mom) and I sat in the sun. It wasn't really that warm and so no sun block which then lead to my sunburn that I didn't know I had till today! HA!
So that was our little weekend adventure. I love you all and miss you already!

Counting down the days

This upcoming weekend is going to be fantastic. I'm very excited to see my whole family all together for the first time in awhile! It's also a special weekend because it's our one year anniversary. After Toronto we are heading to St.Catherine's to visit with Dan's mom and go to the indoor water park in Niagara. Dan and I are then going to have a private night with dinner and late night walk down by the falls. It's going to be a fun weekend. I can't wait. 4 days to go!

And as you can see from the new pics added here. We had a friend of ours come over and do a photo shoot of us as a family. She is a professional photographer and I think the pics turned out really nice. Enjoy!

New Place

This weekend was busy as we moved into our new two bedroom apartment. Dan's friends who were supposed to come over didn't, so Dan and I had to do all the moving ourselves. Some of our stuff is beyond heavy and lugging it up 5 flights was interesting and difficult. We are so sore but it was all worth it. There is much more room and now Kassy can have her own privacy in her own room. She will be down this weekend and is so excited to see it. I also now have a place for my art work so the living room isn't cluttered anymore. I can't wait to have visitors now because we will be able to make them comfortable while they stay.

New Month Again

We were supposed to be moving into our new apartment the beginning of this month but the place was a right off. So we're living amongst boxes and clutter because I packed and just patiently waiting for new carpet to be installed and walls painted and baseboards put in. At least it will be like a new place once we move in. Kassy has picked out her bedding and is super excited to have a room to call her own.
I have finally completed all the illustrations for the children's book! Jaana loves them, and to be honest I thought she would be more judgmental but she really really loved them. That made my day because she is a tough critic. We are now waiting for replies as to who wants to publish the book. Man, I could be an official illustrator. Soooooo happy!
