I've been getting up really early this week. My goal is to be at work at 6:00 AM. Work a short day and spend the afternoon with my kids. When it's nice we spend time in and around the pool, when it's not so nice we play games inside. So far I'm loving it.
Often when I wake up and get ready for work Samantha wakes up as well and she sees me off before I leave. She is an awesome presence in the morning and it is nice to see her in the morning. David is usually sound asleep and sometimes he'll sleep till 9:00 or later.
This morning as I was getting ready, he came down to see me off. It was a very nice change since I usually don't see him until I get home. He is very affectionate and likes to snuggle with me. This morning he sat on my lap giving me a big hug. It was a very nice treat, one that I know I will not get very often at 5:30 in the morning. He went back to bed after I left, hopefully he got enough sleep to be well rested.

Canada Day Weekend
We had a great time as a family this weekend. We started Saturday with some friends, Mike, Louise, Jolene and William. We drove down together to Morrisburg to visit Prehistoric World. The kids had a great time looking at all the life size dinosaur. They had their pictures taken with each of them. It was amazing to see the amount of work that has gone into the creation of these over the last many years. Mike was there over 20 years ago and he remembers many of the dinosaurs that were there then but he also noticed that there were many more. It was a great outing that really targetted the age group of our combined families (2-6 years old)
We drove back to Ottawa, stopping to pick up some cheese, honey butter and fresh pick strawberries. It was nice to be invited back to Mike and Louise's to let the kids play together. We very much enjoy Mike and Louise's company. They seem to be a good fit for us, we are at a similar place in our lives, so everything gels when we are together.
Sunday, Canada Day Pool Party!!! It was a good time. We had about 30 friends come and go. A little less than anticipated, but then again, the temperature wasn't what we were hoping for. A few degrees warmer would have been nice. A few people bravely went into the water. I found it a little chilly outside for my taste. We had a great time as a household. We got to hang out with friends and family.
Off on Monday, what a day it was to have very little to do. Spend the day entertaining the kids, again too bad the weather wasn't warm enough to jump in the pool, but we had fun nonetheless. I spent a good part of the afternoon playing Lego Star Wars on the Game Cube with Sam and David. Samantha is actually pretty good.
I had my sister and family come over for supper. They came down to camp in Cumberland to spend some time with us. It will be nice to visit with them for the next little while.
This morning reality came crashing, I had to get back to work...drag.
