1st year Anniversary
Yesterday was our 1st year anniversary so we are planned a BBQ with friends and family on Saturday night. My parents gave us a BBQ as an anniversary gift so we decided to put it to good use and celebrate with some tasty food. We were thinking that we would go out for dinner and a movie and all that fancy stuff but decided that the cost of the dinner and movie would be better spent spending the night with our boys and friends and family! We had steak and ribs, potatoes and salads. It was quite the feast and a great time!
Happy Anniversary to my husband of one year! It’s been a blast and I look forward in celebrating it again with you year after year for the rest of our life…….
My Sister is back
My sister and her boyfriend Corey got back from Newfoundland on Saturday, she is here to do her last year at UPEI. She was in NL throughout the summer to do her internship for dietetics so she has been quite busy. So glad to have her back! She will have a busy few weeks but will have a two week break before hitting the books for the year so it will be good to get some camping trips and beach time in. I am very excited that she is going to be here with me when the baby is born, it is going to be excited to spend the rest of the summer and the upcoming year with her!
Shipping off the Boys
My mom was up for the last week taking care of the boys for us and the boys decided that they were going to head back to Newfoundland to see pop. So yesterday Lee and I dropped mom and the boys off in Woods Island to catch the ferry to Nova Scotia. From there she met up with dad’s cousin Sally and my Nan. Sally gave them a ride to New Glasgow where the boarded the Acadian Lines bus and heading to North Sydney to catch the boat to Newfoundland. If you know the Newfoundland ferries you know for sure that it is never on time, so what was supposed to be 11:30 crossing left North Sydney at 5:30 this morning. So as I type they are still continuing the “adventure” (as Tyler calls it) to Newfoundland to see pop. Speaking of Poppy, he has no idea that they are heading home with mom (hehehe I love surprises)! We told him that the ferry was over booked and the boys could not get on the crossing, which was true up until the last minute when some spots opened up. So mom told him that she was leaving on the bus for NS at 8:00 yesterday morning when in fact she took the ferry with the boys at 4:30. Mom is planning on having them walk off the shuttle first. I wish I was there to see the look on his face!!!! He was pretty disappointed to hear that they were not coming so I am sure he will be glowing when he sees them come off the bus!
One Injured Dog
Our dog Maggie stays out in Brackley Beach with Lee parents where for now until we are into a place that is suitable to have her. She loves it out there as there is tons of room to run and play. She gets very excited when we go see her and shows it by running loops through the woods around the house and back to the car.
Lee went out to his parents on Wednesday night and Maggie as usual made her dash threw the woods around the house but this time instead of making her dash to greet Lee at the car she ran in the house and went straight under the bed. Lee went to see what was wrong with her and noticed that it looked like she ripped her fur out and had a cut but because she was under the bed could not get a good look at it. He called me and told me what had happened and said that he thought that she would need stitches but because it was close to 8:00 in the night we would she what it was like in the morning. When I got to work on Thursday lees mom had 3 messages on my voicemail and I knew things where not good. I guess she was licking it and picking at it though the night and the cut was completely open showing her stomach muscle and she wasn’t in good shape. Lee’s cousin was visiting Jim and Laverne, so they where kind enough to bring her into the vet where we met them. When she got there she was again excited to see us but not the happy go-lucky Maggie that I am use to. The doctor took her in immediately and told us that he would have to look inside and around the stomach to make sure that there is no damage before stitching her up. She was there for the day and we picked her up after work. There was no damage but a lot of bruising inside which caused them to have to insert a drain tube. So the poor thing has 20 stitches to close the wound and a drain tube that has to be there for 14 days. She has to wear a cone and be taken outside on a leash so she is not running and jumping around. She is not taking this well at all. She seems so depressed and it is heartbreaking to watch her try to get comfortable. She still has until August 13th before she gets any sort of break at all. Poor pup!!!!
So that has been my weekend …. Missing the kids like crazy right now but so happy they get to spend some time in Newfoundland! Lee and I plan to take advantage of the time alone over the next few weeks although I think in a few days we will be missing the boys way too much and just wishing the time here away to have them back again! But we would not want the time to fly so fast in Newfoundland tough so nanny and poppy get tons of time with Ryan and Tyler!
