So my last post was June 15th, picking up from there...
June 21 - Marissa and Dave came to visit me and we had dinner at Moose Winooski's...Marissa has been a friend of mine for over 10 years and Dave is my cousin and thanks to my match making skills, they are husband and wife...It was really good to see them cause it's been a couple years since we have had a visit...
June 27 - Ben and Becca got straight A's in so school, so Rob and Sandy took them to see Toy Story 3 and I was lucky enough to tag along for the celebration...such a great movie, Toy Story did good again!
June 29 - is a day for the history books...I FINALLY found a family doctor in the area after almost 8 years of being here!!! The K-W area has one of the longest waiting lists in the province for a family doctor, so I am so happy I found one and I like her a lot...unfortunately her practice is in Guelph, but from my office its about a 30 minute drive, so it's not that bad at all!
July 1 - I got invited to brunch at Cora's with Justine, Sean and their group of friends...I can't believe I have never been to this place before...It was sooooo good...honestly one of the best eggs benedict I have ever had...
July 3 - had the pleasure of attending Kristan's bachelorette party...We went to see Eclipse...I haven't been the movies with a big group of girls in a long time, it was so much fun! Thanks again to Justine for organizing the shin dig and inviting me and Kristan for letting me be a part of her day! Below is a pic of Kristan and some of her bridesmaids...
July 4 - I went to the beach with Justine, Sean, Alexis (so cute to see her in the sand and water) Kristan, Mark, Shane, Amy, Mike and Heather...It was a great beach day, got some sun and sand!
Here's Lexi and Sean at the beach:
Here are the girls and boys at the beach:

July 12 - computer DIED!
July 16 & 18 - Stacey, one of my bestest friends from back home was in Cambridge playing ball, it was really good to see her, I hadn't seen her since October of last year when I was home for Thanksgiving...For those of you that don't know Stace is the person who introduced Jason and I :-)
July 19 - was the 5th birthday of my niece Rebecca...I cannot believe my Little girl is 5!!! I remember the day she was born, I remember her coming home from the hospital, learning to walk and talk and now shes 5...seriously where has the time gone!!!
Becca opening her presents:
July 19 - also marked the day I started my new job...same company, same building, same floor, basically the same desk, but new job WOOHOO!!! So far so good, I really enjoy the different work and my new team has been very helpful and welcoming...
July 28 to August 3 - was my weekend to see J :-D and we headed to Baltimore for Otakon 2010...It was so much fun this year...I know a little bit more about anime and I was a bit more comfortable with the celebrity status Jason gets when he's there (you'll see why in a sec) also more of Jason's friends came this year, so it just added to the enjoyment of the weekend...
Here's a few pics from the trip, the first is J in his cosplay:
Jason and I, I kinda like him all dressed up, makes me look tiny:
August 11 - Duncan Steven Labelle MacDonald was born, hes such a cute boy! Congrats again to Rob and BrianA on the birth of their beautiful baby boy...
Here's a pic of me with Duncan, I can tell he already loves his Auntie Viv:
August 13 - I had a play date with Alexis...Justine was a little bit nervous about leaving her and I home alone, but we had such a fantastic time, she was so good for her Auntie Viv and I got lots of cuddles :-)
Here's a pic of the cutie playing:
August 15 - I got my only sunburn of the year watch Ben's ball team win their Championship!!! My nephew get more than just his looks from his dad, hes got all of Rob's athleticism too!
Here's Ben with his trophy:
August 17 - My big brother turned another year older! Happy Birthday again Rob, you are the best big brother a girl could ask for, love you!
Here's Rob, Ben and Becca with the cake:
August 18 - My grandmother was hospitalized due to a stroke...thankfully she is on the road to a full recovery, but it gave everyone a good scare...also reminded me why I hate living so far from my family and my mom...
August 28 - Stacey was in London again playing ball, fortunate for me I got to spend the entire day with her and her ball team...After they were done playing ball, 5 grown women played bumper cars and go-karting...HILARIOUS, is all I have to say about that...
Here's a great self pic of me and my Stace:
September 3 to 6 - my dad, my sister Robin and her two kids Destiny and Aaron made the long trip from Bruce Mines to spend the long weekend with me and the Littles...It was so much fun!!! We had margaritas, went shopping, Destiny did make overs (thanks again Dest cause mine was pretty hot, sorry Sandy and Robin :-D) and spent time just hanging out...It's always bitter sweet though because at the end of a great visit we always have to say goodbye...
September 10 - This date is very important, it marks the birthday of two special people in my life...Ben turned 7...SEVEN!?!?! Where the heck did the time go, seriously I remember sitting in the hospital room waiting patiently for the news...And it is also my bestest friend Justine's birthday! I baked her a red velvet bday cake (thanks to MomR for the recipe) and went over for pizza, cake and ice cream with the "usual" group of friends...Happy Birthday again to both of you, love you!
September 20 - I am going to admit right now I am a selfish friend and I counted down this day for months...Justine returned to work today from mat leave!!!! I know she hates the idea of not being at home with Lexi, but I am so over the moon happy to have my best friend back at work :-) I have really missed not seeing her everyday...see selfish...
Alright so that gets us all caught up...Hope you all had a great summer cause I think I did...
