Long time no Post!

Sorry for the delay in writing, y'all. We've been busy living and I haven't yet figured out how to get all the photos from my phone onto my computer to write a cohesive post that has pics in the right order!

Quick rundown of what's been going on . . . This weekend we started saying good bye to our friends here in Buffalo! Brian and I hosted a small backyard cookout with Bennett's playgroup families, Sherri, Andy and Henry; Liese, Igor and Joey; and Mary, Jason and Adele. The kids had a blast playing together and the adults had fun talking. We broke in our new ice cream maker and made Mint Cookies 'n' Cream. YUM! We were scraping the bottom of the bowl and will certainly make that flavor again.

This morning, I had brunch with some of the other ladies I've gotten to know pretty well - Megan, Tamara and Barbara. I am really going to miss them! They've been great friends while here. I really hope that I'm able to find another "moms" group that will provide as many strong connections. Especially since I won't be able to work for at least a year after we move to Ontario. My immigration process is such that I will not have the correct visa for working, so I'll spend the next year raising Bennett and getting our Canadian life in order!

Bennett has continued to show a very strong interest in drumming. While out with Brian this morning, they went to Guitar Center and what did they see? A used practice trap set. We brought it home and adjusted it to fit Bennett's needs. HE LOVES IT!

That's it for now - more soon, I promise. At least sooner than a month!
