A busy couple of weeks

The last few weeks have just been hectic - vacation - extra running - work - trips to Richmond and Baltimore - and then all the regular stuff - it has just been busy.

But that is not to say it has not had it's share of fun.

It was great being home in Newfoundland and it was great to introduce Laura to some of what Newfoundland has to offer. I know we will go back for a longer trip in the not too distant future. It was interesting that the week after we left the city of St. John's filled with people for the George Street Festival include people like Russell Crowe who was in town to play at LSPU Hall, vacation with his family and to film an episode of Republic of Doyle.

When we got back Kris was getting ready to head to Baltimore to see her friends and to attend Otakon. That meant a couple of trips to Baltimore over a few days but again it was fun.

It was a bit busy time and all five of us, myself, Laura and all the girls, had a hard time finding a day when we could all do something. This week we finally all managed to see each other at the same time. Thursday myself and Laura finally were able to give the girls some things we had picked up for them in Newfoundland, beautiful hand-painted scarves for Tika and Sam and a tea mug for Kris from a local artist (Kris loves hand done pottery). Sam was coerced to model Tika's scarf and even though she has not been feeling well lately she still looks good.


On Sunday we all went to see Crazy Stupid Love. A very funny movie that had us all laughing out loud. I think the funniest moment of the movie was during the trailer for Change Up when one lady, who obviously had never seen the trailer let out a VERY loud laugh. It had everyone else in the theater laughing.

Well I am not sure the next dew weeks will get any quieter - a wedding this weekend, Tika has to head back to Richmond to get day for next semester and the girls have to get ready to head back to school by the end of the month.

I am looking forward to a some quiet time this fall.
