what's up with us?

It's been a long while since we last blogged.

Well, we recently took a trip to Canada. Aubrey is still whining, and is very cranky for some reason.

I am left to hold the fort down while Egan made an emergency flight to Philippines. It is a sad trip, one where he says goodbye to his father who passed last weekend. I wish we could be there with him but I have stayed behind with the kids. So far, the kids haven't been giving me too much of a hard time here.

Tonight, when I went to pick up the kids from my parents' house, Gerard was asleep and didn't want to wake up. So I left him there, thinking he would be asleep all night. But I just got a call that he woke up and wanted to go home. Good =) I was feeling quite lonely even though I loved having alone time with Aubrey. Having two kids, it's just never right when they're separated. But I cherish our one-on-ones. It just drives me crazy that I can't have one-on-one at the same time with both of them! I love these brats and couldn't imagine where I'd be without them.

Vacationing

We've been in British Columbia since last week, and we return to the bay tomorrow. It's been fun for the kids to travel and meet their extended family.

This trip was spent hanging out in Seattle, 4 days camping at Vedder River, and discovering around Vancouver. I'm pleased to say that I have enjoyed the city.. it's very biker-friendly and all the architecture around here is modern and beautiful. I love old architecture too, but it's a fresh breath of air to see something new.

Photos coming soon.
