These emails from the Brave Girls Club are always just what I need to hear.

I'm loving my new iPhone. Also, loving my new favourite app, Instagram. Here's a sneak peek at some recent Instagram photos...

(Photo Highlights: Nich renovating our house despite a power outage, Marley's first bath, Eva pushing Kaitlyn on the swing, Tucker loves the mei-tai, Eva lost her first tooth, Kaitlyn loves going for evening walks up the mountain with Marley and I, Tucker's first bite of solids, and Eva's first day of Grade 1)

I haven't had much of any time at all to sit at this here computer and write an update. So, these snapshots will have to do for now. I have filmed a video tour of the house...and now I'm stuck. I have no idea how to get it on the computer and I have no time to figure it out.

Oh, and did I mention we got a puppy? If you're not my Facebook friend, you might not know...

I'm CRAZY!

We got a Dog!

Did I mention I'm CRAZY!

So, yes, in case you think I'm making up the being busy bit, September is kicking me swiftly in the behind. On top of everything else (including every room in our house being under renovation), I am training/housebreaking a very energetic pup. Oy!

It will all be worth it.

In a year, this house will run like a well-oiled machine. My baby will be sleeping through the night, my kids will be adjusted to the move, and my dog will be potty trained.

Until then, where's the coffee?
