Yes...finally a post!

Hi there everyone.  Sorry for the long delay.  I had sort of given up using the blog because it seems so much slower than fb and we don't always have good internet, so I want to get my info and pics up as quickly as possible.  Today I checked my email and noticed that not everyone is on fb and was wondering what was happening with us, so here is a quick update.

We are currently in Acton, ON at the Sheepwash's house.  We got here August 1 which was Landon's 8th birthday.  Katia had prepared some cupcakes and we had a nice little party.  We will be here until August 5 and then we are off to Dyer's Bay, ON to my Uncle John and Grandma's cottage.  Love that place and can't wait to get there!

Now backing up...we spent most of our time in Nova Scotia checking out the Annapolis Valley.  Absolutely beautiful! We spent alot of time around the Kentville area and looked at a few houses. We enjoyed visiting with the Burton's and the lobster feast they hosted.  Love the property they found...they just moved from BC a couple of months ago.

Sarah contacted poison ivy somewhere in Ontario and she reacted very badly.  By the time we got to Nova Scotia she was absolutely miserable, so we took her into the Kentville hospital.  They gave us a prescriptions and it started to clear up within a couple of days.  A week later, she developed an abscess and was in considerable pain.  We happened to be at the Wood's house in PEI at the time and Marlowe drove us into the Summerside hospital.  She had to go under general and have the abscess opened and drained....poor kid :(  She has just finished her run of antibiotics and is feeling sooo much better.  So we have had our tour of the maritime hospitals too! If you have to use one...they are lovely.

Our visit with the Woods (other than Sarah's little surgery) was wonderful.  The children had a great time getting reaquainted.  The Paiva family came to PEI too and we met up with them at Cousin's Beach, PEI.  It was nice to see all of them.

Well, that is our eastern side of the trip in a very small nutshell.  Hopefully I can post some pics for you, but I will get this posted first.

Oh, and Laurie...thank you for the invitation, but I think we are going back home through the states, so we will not be near you. Are you coming to BC anytime soon?  Hope you are feeling okay. Talk to you soon.
