I realized the other day how much more I used to blog.  Sorry for any of you who would like to know what's going on in our lives.  I'm not so good about it any more.  With one child it was much easier to sit down and type for a few minutes.  Two kind of doubles the amount of time you get to spend with kids and family.  I've also been trying hard not to spend as much time at the computer so I can be an active participant in my family rather than someone glued to the computer or TV all the time.  We're trying to shut off the computer and shut off the TV as much as possible - not just for our relationships, but it also seems to help Brianna behave better, which is an interesting side result.  Anyway, we had a great time in Canada, visiting my brother in Vancouver, and then my dad on Salt Spring Island.  My brother enjoys our camera and took some good pictures of all of us.  It's nice to have some pictures of me, since usually I'm the one taking the pictures.  It's also nice to have good family pictures of all of us.  We had a really good time, and the weather was awesome.  Had to come back to 110 degree + weather here, though, afterwards!!!

 

Okay, the baby is crying now that I'm not there, so there you go.  That's why I don't blog any more.  I will post pictures of Canada and then get back to him.  Will post more updates later.
