August is a busy, busy month.

For the last week and a half I have been snapping pictures and thinking "this is going on the blog"...yet every time I have attempted to upload some pics, blogger has gotten glitchy and frozen up, or just burped my pics back at me, so I have given up and you guys have been left with nothing new to get excited about.

Well, it seems to be working now, so get excited!! Okay, well, not that excited, because it's not much, but I hope you enjoy anyway.

Last week we took advantage of the weather, loaded ourselves down with sand toys, towels, and a cooler full of food and headed out to Witty's Lagoon. As you can see it was a flawless day....

The weather has also led to us altering bath time...every day Emma gets to play with the hose in the back yard....At which time she fills up her kiddie pool so that it can sit in the sun all afternoon and get nice and warm. Then, at the end of the day it's time for her to get naked and jump in for her bath. This is something we've done every summer, and it's a great way to cool off and burn some energy before bed. This pic is during Em's bath after I had a long, hot day at work and decided to hop in too.

This past weekend my mom and I held a garage sale. We cleared out lots of stuff, and I made some money for the trip to Seattle that Chris and I are taking at the end of the month.This picture is really just a sneaky way to show you guys just how pregnant Angela is (Baby boy Bell will be born on Monday - I will of course post pics).This man was my favorite customer of the day...a very, um...flamboyant man who went gonzo over a camcorder bag I had for sale. He eventually bought it, deciding that that though he didn't need another "man purse" (his words) $5 was just too good a deal to pass up. But first he had to pose for a pic that he could check out, just to make sure it looked as good as he thought it did.Saturday was also my Mommy's birthday....Love you Mom!!!Earlier this week we took Emma for a ride on the new Langford Trolley.....it's a great new service, a trolley by donation that travels through Langford hourly from Canwest Mall to Bear Mountain and back again. It's been so successful that the city is adding a second trolley and is looking into expanding the route.A really cute pic of Emma waiting at the trolley stop.Emma and her Daddy taking a ride.
Okay, so that's what we have been up to, and there is more to come as the month goes on...a baby birth, a baby shower, birthdays, visits from abroad, work, and of course, vacation...all while we try to spend as much time with Emma as we can before she starts school at the beginning of September. Whew! I'm tired just thinking about it.

Yes, preschool...but full day preschool, so she will be going from 8:30 to 3:00....we liked the idea of this instead of daycare.
