I have been meaning to post for the past few days but just haven't really felt inspired to do so....but here I am as I don't want to fall too far behind.

First off, everyone is doing really well :0) Shane is getting around all over the place and just today, I had him standing on his own holding onto the ottoman. He had quite the proud smile on his face! Nicholas was in Shanes room this afternoon playing with him and I couldn't help but laugh as I could hear the two of them just giggling and laughing away. A couple moments later...and Nicholas was yelling Shane's Escaped!! Shane's Escaped!! ...meaning he crawled out into the hallway....again with quite the proud grin on his face...lol. (btw...we're all baby proofed upstairs...gate, doors closed, electrical plugs covered etc.).

So, last post, we were getting ready to take off to Toronto for a little getaway. Mom, Dad, Shawn, Cheryl and their boys spent the entire weekend here which I'm sure was nice for everyone. We slipped out Saturday around noon (after being back and forth a few times...I was finding it difficult to leave...and the tears were coming) after giving many smooches and hugs. Anyhow, off we were...just the two of us and it felt great. We stopped to pick up our tickets, browse through the bookstore and then lunch with a couple of cocktails....hey, why not...we were on 'vacation'...hehhe.

Afterwards, headed to the hotel and before I could turn my head, Johnathon was already snoozing peacefully on the comfy bed. So much for a romantic getaway...hehehe....but he so needed it! 430 am alarms every morning, stress at work and often interrupted sleep with Shanes new routine....so sleep it was for him and as tempted as I was to join him, I knew that meant we may never get to the show and dinner!

A few hours later and we were off to the show....the Axis of Evil Comedy Tour at the Panasonic Theatre....OMG...HILARIOUS!!!! We laughed our a**es off! It was great. Afterwards, dinner at Hernando's, a Mexican restaurant I used to go to often when I was a 'city' chick....(fabulous by the way)...and then back to our room.

I do have to mention one more thing about our time at the hotel because we were quite impressed....in the morning, Johnathon called down our breakfast order and very shortly after, a gentleman shows up with a whole table set with everything we needed....coffee, water, juice and of course, our food. Just an extra perk with this hotel and we just loved it!

We took our time getting home....a little bit of shopping and then went to an Open House at the Port of Newcastle. Beautiful home but not the 'one'.

And then...home sweet home! I have to admit I was very good about not bringing up the boys and how much I missed them....! So, we walk in and it was like we weren't even gone....the boys were just going about their business and enjoying their time with Poppa and Goki :0) (so when can you come again Mom?)...hehhehe!

Well, that's about it for now...Johnathon is home and I am about to leave for a dr's appt....a follow up to my CT Scan and mole biopsies. Will let you know the results...although I do not expect anything but to be in the clear!

Until next time...

p.s. oh, btw, I should mention that we did have our poker game Friday night and I thought it only fair to let know who won....and that would be ME! HA!
