Not sure if I mentioned it but Uncle Andrew was here (from Friday until Tuesday) and now he's gone. We had a busy visit (very unusual for us, definitely had something to do with the kids). No pictures to prove it so you'll just have to believe me.
Also, not sure if I mentioned that Ed was gone (to Rochester from Sunday to Wednesday on business) and now he's back. No pictures to prove that he wasn't here so you'll just have to believe me.

New Feature: Email Subscription
As you may have noticed, I've been making some changes to the blog; the design, (LinkWithin) post icons at the bottom of each post and now this, Email Subscription.
My fellow BLM, Franchesca over at Small Bird Studios (a blog that I follow) is running a series titled "Things that will make your blog AWESOME" and I've been implementing some of her ideas. Franchesca is an amazing graphic designer who shares all of these ideas for free. She does tons more stuff so check her out!
I thought that email subscription would be a great way for some of you to stay in touch but not have to remember to go to the website (hey, we all get busy). If it doesn't work for you or you just like it the way it is, don't subscribe and just keep doing what you're doing.
If you're interested, in the right hand column (underneath Artemis' picture), enter your email address in the "Follow by Email" box and click "Submit". You will be required to enter random letters (to ensure that you're not a computer program) and then a confirmation email will be sent to the email account that you entered. Go to the email, click the link provided and you're all set-up. You will now receive an email when I post to the blog.
Note #1. Your email address will not be shared with anyone.
Note #2. If you don't want to receive the emails any longer, select the "unsubscribe" link at the bottom of the email and that's it. Seriously, it's that simple. You and your email address will not be taken hostage.
Note #3. The email displays a generic version of my post. It does not take you to the ACTUAL web site. If you want to see that, you can select the title link. Or, just go to the website via your bookmark (because we all know that you have it bookmarked!).
Note #4. Remember, you can always subscribe, see what it looks like and then unsubscribe if you don't like it. Either way, it doesn't matter to me.
Let me know if you have any questions.

The Kids Turn 19-Months Old, Nipissing Update.
On July 11, the kids turned 19 months old so we headed to the doctor for their 18-month check-up (we're a bit behind schedule).
It's been 14 weeks since their last doctors' appointment (April 15). Thankfully, they got some shots a clean bill of health and did splendidly on their Nipissing Developmental Checklist for 18 Months.

For the first time ever, I didn't have one thing to talk to the doctor about.

So Cute I Just Had to Post
For the past few nights, the kids have been giving me kisses before bed. They even take out their soothers (and that's saying a lot!).
Sweet Dreams.
Sweet Dreams.
Welcome to the Family!
Max and Artemis spent the large majority of today "Parallel Playing" with various different toys (Note that no one was injured while having to share their toy, read: Artemis didn't bite Max) and running around with boxes on their heads (It's the latest craze).
After spending two and a half weeks fishing, The Sheriff is home, safe and sound.
On Saturday, my cousin Jon and his wife Carrie had a beautiful little girl, Lauren. We can't wait to meet her. Welcome to the Family!
Uncle Andrew is coming for a four-night visit (starting Friday) and Ed leaves for Rochester (on business) on Sunday (for three nights).
For those of you that were asking, Reina's knee is healing. She still limps sometimes (after she's been still for a while) and this Thursday marks eight weeks since her surgery. That means that we can (re)introduce exercise (and do Ed and I ever need it). She should be back to (her new) normal within six months (by the end of November).
