Day 21 - August 21, 2010

We are packing up and getting ready to leave and Rogue was camped out in front of the door. She must know something is up and does not want us to leave.

Day 20 - August 20, 2010

Adam`s wound the day after. He was stuck to the sheets last night and he did not sleep very well. Hopefully lots of polysporin should help heal it up soon as we are going away tomorrow.

Day 19 - August 19, 2010

Another beautiful day at the beach and then a big barbecue supper after. Adam was skimboarding and came home with this wound.

Day 18 - August 18, 2010

Mmm, mmm coffee. What else is there to say? Tim Horton's is my husband's one true addiction.

Day 17 - August 17, 2010

When we bought our house, Adam's step dad brought us a new little maple tree to plant. We put it in the backyard but a few weeks later it was run over by the lawnmower and didn't have any leaves left. We didn't think it would make it but it has been doing great!

Day 16 - August 16, 2010

Basil was enjoying the summer today out in the dog park. He must have found a good spot here as he was rolling non stop in the grass.

Day 15 - August 15, 2010

Lazy Sunday. Rogue and I spent the day on the couch (after she rolled around under the coffee table) watching movies and surfing the internet. With laundry on the side.

Day 14 - August 14, 2010

Beach Day! Today was sunny and hot so one of my best friends and I headed up to the national park for the afternoon. The beach was sufficiently crowded but we managed to find a good spot to spread out the blanket. There was absolutely no wind and the water was at least 20 degrees. Definitely one of the best parts of the summer (and living minutes from the water).

Day 13 - August 13, 2010

Today was the final day of the summer research program I was taking part in at school. We were presenting our research posters and this is mine all printed out 3 feet by 4 feet.

Day 12 - August 12, 2010

I have never been stung by a bee, wasp or hornet before in my life. Today I was stung four times! We were out in the dog park and the grass was getting a little long and walking back in, a wasp must have got caught in my pant leg because it starting stinging me! I found out that I am thankfully not allergic to stings but wow do they hurt, I hope it's the first and only time.

Day 11 - August 11, 2010

The cats have already been posted so today is the ferrets' turn. They were all in their hammock having a snooze when I went downstairs so I snapped a pic. From left to right are: Isis, Zion, Nyx and Ares.

Day 10 - August 10, 2010

Not the most eye-catching photo today but it is something I am very thankful for. Our dehumidifier arrived today! The downstairs has been so humid this summer and it is feeling better already. I'm sure the animals appreciate it as well.

Day 9 - August 9, 2010

My favorite thing today was having supper in the fridge when I got home. Hubby had to work tonight and he had pasta all ready for me. I don't have the enthusiasm to prepare something when it is just me and I often end up snacking instead so it was a nice surprise having it already made.

Day 8 - August 8, 2010

Today is our 1 year anniversary! It seems like a year has gone by really fast. This is our sand ceremony that is proudly displayed on top of our entertainment unit.

Day 7 - August 7, 2010

I seem to like taking my pictures first thing in the morning. I saw this outside and it inspired me. The entire sky was dark and cloudy but at the sight of this you could tell it was going to be a nice day. And it definitely was as the sun came spilling out as I was driving to work not long after. :) It was only too bad that I was working this Saturday as otherwise I would have been at the beach all day!

Day 6 - August 6, 2010

See the love! This was very early this morning. Darwin and Rogue were chasing each other all over the house, up and down the stairs and included some straight up battles. I think Darwin was upset at Rogue eating all the food again!

Day 5 - August 5, 2010

I love my nephews. Today was my sister's last day visiting and we spent the day downtown which always includes Cows. It was a gorgeous summer day.

Day 4 - August 4, 2010

This is what I woke up to today. Pouring cats and dogs rain. And that meant no dog park today and a really long day indoors.

Day 3 - August 3, 2010

These are our fabulous felines, Darwin and Rogue. Both are domestic short haired although Darwin is a spotted tabby and Rogue is a tortie. We have only had Rogue for a few months now and they have become fast friends. They can usually be seen tearing up and down these stairs and I am constantly having to straighten that mat out every time I go by.

Day 2 - August 2, 2010

It was my nephew's 2nd birthday today and he had a blast. After blowing out the candles three times and eating ice cream cake he was opening his presents and playing with his new toys. Here he is concentrating on getting the ribbon off this present so he could pull back the wrapping. The easel inside was a big hit!

Day 1 - August 1, 2010

Okay so I have been taking the photos and haven't posted them for 3 days. Not off to the best start :) So my sister is visiting and they had family pictures taken on the beach. This photo was taken at the end just as the sun was setting and we were getting ready to leave. It was a gorgeous setting and the boys were terrific so I'm sure the professional photos will be fabulous.
