Cooper's Birthday And Other Stuff

Ian and I are enjoying a nice Sunday at home. Football is back. YAY. So we've got a long line of games to watch and a double-header for the Red Sox. Unfortunately, Ian has to work but he can sit out on the couch with me and work on his laptop.

We have decided that we never should have gone into work on Friday. We should have just stayed in Virginia longer and come back this weekend. Why? Well... mutiple reasons. Friday was pretty bad at work for both of us. We have jobs that actually really need us to be there. Ian has spent most of the weekend working. I worked a bit yesterday to catch up... It's hard for us to go on vacation and not have things blow up at work. The good news for me is that a person at work that wasn't very nice to me has decided to quit as predicted. The days leading up to her departure are going to be hard but I think in the long run it will be a good thing.

My Mom and Erik's trip up to see where I live went good. They met Ian's parents for the first time so that was interesting. Why Erik and Duncan brought shotguns to dinner I have no idea... but it ended peacefully. I'm still waiting on slacker Erik to give me pictures from the trip. When I get them I will certainly post again.

The wedding plans are going well. We are going to start looking for plane tickets soon - 2 for us out to Seattle and 1 for Amanda to come out here and take pretty pictures. I'm especially looking forward to her photoshop skillz. =P I have only a few more items to get/make/do. My sister has been gracious enough to be my PO Box since shipping to Canada can be difficult. We are about 4 months away... getting pretty close!

Other than that... life continues. I'm still plugging away at We Cheer before the sequel comes out. I'm stuck on a couple of the hard ones. Ian and I have just a FEW birthdays coming up:

• September 17th - Erik
• September 18th - Mom
• September 23rd - Maureen (Ian's Mom)
• October 4th - Drew (Ian's brother)
• October 13th - MINE =D

The best birthday of all just passed. Cooper seemed to love the cake once he realized it was food!

My Nephew - The 1 Year Old

Ian and I are back in town. In one piece, minus a few pieces of my car (long story). I will post a bunch of pictures and videos as they come in of his birthday. He was perfect... did the whole baby's first sugar thing. He is awesome.

In my recent search for rubber duckies, I came across this bunch. Don't ask.

Elements On The Falls

This weekend we are going to meet my mom and Erik in Niagara Falls. I was looking for a picture of the restaurant that is right at the edge of the falls. I thought for sure I would have posted one because that's the one that Ian and I ate at right before he proposed. I guess with all of the excitement I didn't post the pictures the next day. Only a couple of the ring and the video of right before he proposed. But anyway, I haven't been able to find any good pictures online of it. It's beautiful though. Right at the very edge of the falls. We were lucky enough to get seated with a really good view. It has big windows looking out to the viewing area and the water. This picture shows it set up for a wedding but you get the idea.

Wii Fit Plus News

The game will be released on October 4th and cost $20 (game only obviously). Below are some new screenshots...

Here is the new obstacle course.

I'm really confused by this one... Are you supposed to pick up your dog and weigh in together? Will Mom have to grab Murphy every time she wants to play Wii?

Some karate-like moves... Get your inner ninja on.

And lastly... the one thing I'm REALLY looking forward to... being able to create "routines". You can line up a bunch of exercises instead of having to stop and click a new one each time. Love it!
