This is Amanda's wedding party! (l-r): Erica, Amanda, Katrina, Leah, and me!
This is one of my best friends - Amanda - with her husband to be Eric. They'll be getting married May of next year.

Pictures: Take Two

Sheridan enjoys playing in the sand at the beach on Grand Manan.
This is one of my favorite pictures of Charisma. She is actually running after a kite that her daddy is flying and I managed to get the shot with my camera.
Charisma and Sheridan are enjoying themselves at the park on Grand Manan.
This is me at the beach with my sandcastle.

Pictures: Take One

More pictures to come - These ones are all mixed up but it took me forever to get them uploaded (gotta love dial-up). Stay tuned!

The sandcastle king: What a guy!

While on Grand Manan we had a camp fire. Tim Branscombe and Ben were in charge of the fire.
The Tatton girls (Robin & Holly) and I sat and watched the boys try to keep the fire going. It lasted long enough for us to make some smores.

During our visit to Ottawa we got to spend some time with our nephew Alexander Canney.

Romeo - Carmine and Dan's beloved dog. He went with us to Hershey Park. We love this little guy.









King of Prussia, PA - A visit with our friends Carmine and Dan Bortner. Congrats to Dan who just got promotion within his clothing company Diesel. He and Carm will be moving to the Big Apple which will make another great spot for us to visit!

I'm BAAA-AAACK!

Okay, I'm finally back and looking forward to updating this much neglected blog. Ben and I have had an incredible summer and I intend on showing some pictures asap. Here's a quick update:

1. Ben and I were able to vacation in King of Prusia (PA), Ottawa, Sussex, and Grand Manan this summer. Ben and I even had a sand castle competition on the beach (He was way more into it then me. I just came up with the idea so he wouldn't get bored.) We only have two weeks of vacation so each week was filled to the brim, but it was totally worth it. As mentioned earlier pictures are on the way.

2. Ben and I were head counsellors for a week at Riverside Senior High Camp. We were both exhausted at the end of it but we had a blast. We did video room inspections which were a hit. At the end of the week we got to see Three Season Ant - I love those guys. It was so nice to be poured into after having poured ourselves out the entire week.

3. I had an interview to get my name on the long term supply list. I still don't have full time work at the moment, but I am content knowing that I should get plenty of short-term work once school starts. If I'm not working full time this fall I may get to go to a youth specialties conference with my hubby which would be nice.

4. We're going camping at Mr. Carleton this weekend with our youth group. Last time we went camping Ben refused to get up with me to walk me to the pottie to pee in the night. I had to go all by myself. He said he was too cold. Go figure.

5. My niece Sheridan will be starting school in a few weeks! Wowzers. She can already read though - compliments of her dedicated mother who has worked with her at home.

6. How do you upload pictures onto your blog? I've done it before but the way Ben showed me seems a bit complicated as it involves using another web page. Is there an easier way?
