Paul & Julie
I have had 2 months off of work, which is a blessing since we are so far away from family & close friends that we had a chance to visit. My Mom, Sister, & Niece came to visit in early July. Paul & I then had a chance to go to Atlanta to see the rest of the family later that month. While they were here we went to Stanley Park for a picnic, Granville Market, Queen Elizabeth Park, Shannon Falls in Squamish, and Whistler. One of our friends gave us a coupon for the Peak to Peak Gondola ride that goes from Whistler mountain to Blackcomb mountain. It was beautiful & the weather was perfect. We had lots of laughs & even learned that we did not like heights so much.

So glad you got to spend precious time with your fam! Sounds like you all were able to do some really fun things. Can't believe how much your niece's face looks like a face I have seen you make in that last pic. Thanks for the update!
DUUUUDE. how cute is your background!? Way to go Paul for picking that out. :)
I couldn't see the after pic of the hair cut well. As one who is concerned...please post a closer one. HA. YOu know I am not concerned....my hair has NEVER looked good. None of my 3 hairs has ever cooperated when I try to fix them.
I am so glad you got to have your cup full of family time. I know they were so glad to have you around both trips! Caroline is so cute! I can see both Jason and Emily in her. I think her and Daisy would be bff. :)
LOVE the blog. I am so glad to see you more regularly...even if its in cyberspace. :)
(btw...i am now friends with Drew Kitchen on FB...WEIRD.) :)
