Baby has arrived and is now 10 days old. We have discovered that, although breast feeding is natural that doesn't make it easy. Other than that, we're doing quite well.
We had to put the cat down on Friday. He had declined extremely quickly over that day. See Phalse's blog for details. There can never be another cat like him. He was the strangest animal I've ever had the pleasure to meet...and I've met some weird ones. I hope he's happy, wherever he is.

Exciting Summer!
I've now had a month at my job and am loving it :) The staff is great, I'm doing what I want to be doing, it's lots of fun, etc. Last week was a bit silly, but I had a nice break this weekend w/ the long weekend and next week is IFLA, so I should be fine for a while!
Went to the same awesome concert as PM and MT.
PI and I signed a lease on Sat, so we'll be getting around to moving in the near future. That should be fun :P We'll have much more space and it's PERFECT for getting to work.
E, T, e, and A were here from BC last week and we had a good time celebrating mom's birthday as well as Mrs. H's 90th! We also went for dinner, played w/ e, etc. and generally caught up.
J and J are here from Aus and we went to the zoo today! PI and I showed J2 around the city a bit yesterday and had some fun. We also went geo-cashing yesterday, which was fun. We'd never done that before.
REALLY looking fwd to N&D's wedding on Fri!!!
Generally, life is exciting...but then, it always is!

Happy Birthday to Me :D
I had quite a nice birthday despite being sick :) PI and I were both home sick on Friday together. We watched a couple of movies, played some Mario Galaxy and some Talisman (PI's new board game....a return from highschool).
On Sat (my actual birthday) I slept in, played more Mario Galaxy, made some crackers, and went to my parent's for dinner. Dinner was fantastic. They got a live lobster (very yummy) which went w/ roast chicken and potatoes, spring rolls a shrimp ring, mini quiche, dip, crackers, baked brie, corn, Champagne, wine, and probably some other food I've forgotten. We were all STUFFED. There was also fruit salad w/ whipped cream and home made fudge for dessert. Always the fudge!!! Love the fudge!!! I opened presents, and we played Trivial Pursuit before realizing it was late and we all needed some sleep...esp since we're all sick.
Today PI and I slept in even more, had a nice, if brief, morning together, then went down town. We had a very light lunch and went shopping. I really wanted to pick up Settlers of Catan and, while we were at our new favourite store (Hairy Tarantula) also found the Dilbert game, which we, of course, had to get! I spent the rest of my birthday money on The Muppet Show Season 2. We then went to the Eaton's centre because I only own 1 pair of pants at the moment....or I did until we went to the Eaton's centre. After that...the reason we were down town in the first place...PI had plans for me....we went to 360 for dinner! VERY yummy :) I had dill scones w/ mackerel and cucumber, smoked salmon, steak w/ mashed potatoes and gratin veggies, asparagus, and a chocolate tower. We also had a nice red wine with dinner. The view was great until the last half hr when the fog descended.
It was a great birthday. Unfortunately, classes start again tomorrow...but I don't have classes on Mondays :) See all you FIS-ers on Tues.

Waiting for Twins
We're still waiting for the twins to arrive and are getting very excited. They are now 6 lbs, 3 oz and 6 lbs, 9 oz which is really big for twins! Average weight is 5 lbs, 3 oz. 12 Days left to go until they're taken out regardless of what they think :D
Since the last post, we've been to a concert by one of Bear's coaches from last year, thrown a party, made our own pasta and 3 sauces including pesto (which was very exciting), picked up more wedding presents, had dinner with IT.2, been to a concert put on by PM, MY, SS, and co. which we enjoyed very much, spent some time at Nuit Blanche, started stripping the varnish off a shelf at BR's that is going to become our bar, had lunch with high school teachers, finished a paper, started 2 more, and gotten our wedding photos back from the photographer (they're excellent :D)

Weekend
This weekend was, as usual, pretty busy. We went to a party at A's:
Church, a farewell picnic for P:
And Shakespeare in the Park (Mid Summer Night's Dream) for Mom's birthday:
We also had a practise run at my hairdo for the wedding, got bows to decorate the church, flowers and ribbons for the flower girl, clasps for my wedding dress, and went out for lunch at Bear's dumpling restaurant.
It was a good weekend, but I'm really tired now. Dentist this morning, then to work :(

Weekend Madness
Course registration was on Thurs. Both Mom and I successfully got into the courses we wanted, although there was some difficulty as they changed the schedule the day before registration. Although I checked the schedule to make sure they hadn't done that, they changed it in the afternoon and I checked it in the morning. For people with PhDs in organizing, it is the most disorganized school experience I've ever had.
On Sat. PI and I got up early to go to the plate rental place for the wedding. We now have plates, table cloths, etc. Note to anyone planning a wedding, plates are WAY more expensive than you think they'll be :P
After that we went to pick up Tree for the combined baby shower at the JRs. Yay photos!
When that was done and we'd taken Tree home, we went to SF's birthday party. We had a great time with Trivial Pursuit, Guitar Hero, chocolate fondue, cake....and took more photos!
On Sun. we slept A LOT and arrived very late at Mom's to do wedding tables and go out for dinner. We went to Summerlicious at Auberge, and it was fantastic! If anyone can afford to eat there, possibly the best food in the city!

Flag Raising
The flag pole came down a couple years ago to make way for the tent for I&T's wedding. Since then, a new one has been acquired (courtesy of I&T) and it was put up this weekend.
Flag raising at the B parent's place.
That's the small version of the photos. The large ones are not even sort of visible on a single screen.

Surprise!
Yesterday was my first surprise anything! Bear, Mom, I&T, et al, managed to pull off a surprise wedding shower. I was so surprised when we arrived! Bear had been pushing buttons for weeks and even told me she was having so much trouble getting in touch w/ people that it might have to be cancelled! (It was supposed to be next week)
I had a great time and am now mostly recovered from the shock :D
Thank you to everyone for coming and for all your generous gifts! They are all fantastic. I now have to have a wine and cheese BBQ picnic w/ a huge shepherds pie, some kind of dessert squares, stew, and little chocolate dessert thingies :) Stu and I spent quite a lot of time cleaning out the kitchen so everything fits and there's room for more...we got carried away and forgot to have dinner :S
A special thanks to all the out of town people for driving in! It was great to have everyone there :D
