update

Wow it's been a while...like way too long- We have done a lot in the last year- however not so much.  The kids are back in swimming on Saturdays - however it's great they are 10 minutes apart-

Last summer we went to Hay River in the north west territories.  Now we can say we have been to the NWT.  We also drove to Ontario for a couple weeks in the summer - that was fun.

We went to Florida for Christmas- my family met us there the week before Christmas and then Matt's family for the 10 days surrounding Christmas- we had 1 house for my family and 2 when Matt's family was there- side by side- it was a great holiday- We ended up driving back to our house - (the kids and I flew to Florida and met Matt there - he had meetings in Winnipeg and Minneapolis)  We drove the first day to Dallas - there i got a call saying my grandpa passed away.  So i wanted to be back to Sudbury for that- we slept in Douglas Wyoming the next night and then Matt and the kids dropped me off in Calgary where i flew to Toronto and got a ride with my cousin and her family to Sudbury.  the 3rd night Matt spent just outside of Edmonton.  Who can say CRAZY?

We also went back to Ontario for a couple weeks after Easter.  Matt had to come back a week early since he had jury duty (SUCKER!!)

I met my best friend, mom, sister, 2 aunts and a bunch of lovely ladies in Chicago in May.  That was a great time.

Our next trip is at the end of the month- we will be going to ALASKA!!  WOOT-  we are taking a ferry (not a fairy as Laura thought) from Prince Rupert to Juneau - spending a couple days there- then going to Skagway then to Whitehorse. and driving the highway back home.  We are unsure about doing Dawson City- because it's so much further out of the way....like 18 or 12 hours depending on which way we decide to go.

I will try to write here more often (hopefully once a week)
