The Pumpkin Spice Latte is back at Starbucks!!!!!!!!!!!!

My life is complete.

I love life. It's fun. Yesterday, Nich and I went to Science World to check out the larger-than-life LEGO exhibit, while Eva chilled with the Grandparents. Today, us gurls (my mom, eva, and i) headed south of the border to the wonderful Bellis Fair so I could get my American back-2-skool shopping in. I know i'm not going back to skool. But, it's an excuse to score a new fall wardrobe. While we shopped, the men (my daddy-0 and nich) went for a hike from Capilano to Cypress. Quite a hike. That's why i chose to shop.


And, our weekend gets even more exciting, i know it's hard to believe. Our townhouse now has...drumroll please...a FRONT DOOR!!!!!! And windows. Crazy, i know. We're pretty stoked as well.

And to top it all off, Eva just sipped some Tim Horton's Iced Cappucino from my straw. We sat in awe and amazement. Then poured some juice in a cup, stuck a straw in it, and VOILA..she sucked it all down. I think she just broke some baby record for first-time straw-sipping.

Eva went on her first ever bike ride last night. Jen gave us this rad stroller that doubles as a bike trailer. So, last nite, we decked eva out in biking gear (check out the gigando helmet!), tucked eva in all snug in her stroller, and biked around the city.

For all my American friends...

Ok, here it is folks. The much in-demand update on how the adoption process is coming along for baby Aaron.
The first court hearing is scheduled for September 19th. This is the first step in paperwork being processed in Taiwan. There are 2 court dates after that. We are still unsure when he will be able to come home with Nate and Christi, but they are hoping and praying for mid-late October.
Aaron is doing fantabulous. He is 6 months old now, and at the last weigh-in he was 13.7lbs an 25 inches long (or high, or however you say it).
Alright peeps, more updates in September.

So, yesterday, i hung up my clothes to dry like every other day. I set the dry rack out on the patio, so my clothes would bake nice and dry in the sun. And then i forgot them out there. Big deal, right? Well, we live on the ground level right by lots of shrubs. And what happens on Tuesday nights? The sprinklers go off and water all the shrubs...and our patio. And last night...my clothes. oh my poor sopping wet clothes.
