It’s been a while since my last post, but as I mentioned in the posting, life has gotten busy! I’ve got a couple personal projects out of the way, only to have a few more take their place! But I’m not complaining, I love being busy, being productive and being creative! yay! 
Which means the blog has been suffering! 
Boo! Which also might be a good thing! Why? Well I started this blog mainly to chronicle the events of Sam’s
arrival into our lives and in the past few weeks, the posting have also included topics that make this blog more like any other: movie reviews, game reviews, site reviews, rants about current issues, etc. Which is fun to do, but off the original intention of what this blog was supposed to be and what makes it different (in my eyes) to other blogs. So, I’ve decided that in light of my other sudden summertime occupations, I will update this blog less, but when I do, it will be about the parent life with Sam.
Having said that, last weekend, Sam, Melissa and I went to a great little restaurant near
my parent’s place for Melissa’s 30th birthday dinner. It was a beautiful evening as we arrived at the little cottage like resto around 6:30 and proceeded to talk and dine until well past 9:30! The atmosphere was perfect, a nice breezy summer evening by the waterfront, under a giant maple tree watching the sun set on the 
water…all the while enjoying a great Austrian meal!!! The company was, of course fabulous, but we did regret that my sis and her family couldn’t be there. But we drank to them and hoped they were having as much fun as we were back in Toronto. Sam was a big hit with the waitresses and other patrons as he giggled and smiled his way through the evening, only to finally fall asleep in his Dad’s arms shortly before the ride home. Safe to say, he was pooped!
Later in the week, we had a massive, violent thunder storms blanket the area were we live. Much damage did ensue as trees were pulled out at their roots, roofs and houses were torn and many a garbage pail has gone missing…having flown away on the wind. I was working, but Melissa and Sam were at home during the ordeal which had them taking refuge in the basement as the storm raged outside. After a hit like that, it was no surprise that some water infiltrated through our windows causing minor water damage. 
Most of the city lost power as well. That’s right! Sam’s first blackout! So I took some pics of him to commemorate the moment! It just so happened that the sky was clearing as the sun set that evening, so I ran out and took a pic of my street with nothing but the sunset shading us in its soft glow. It was a nice moment and I was actually thankful for the blackout just then. It was a welcome respite from our neon filled nights, to have an evening bathed in pink giving us all some time to think.
See you next post!
