Well Shawn is in China for work, and Carter and Holden have gone to visit Grandma and Grandpa Willett for a few days while I work and do some stuff around the house. It is trying to be a “single mom” for almost 2 weeks so it is nice to have a break in the middle. Mind you it is very lonley to be here completely alone so I am looking forward to going to Bracebridge this weekend to pick up Carter and Holden. The lack of kaos druing the day I expected with Carter (and Shawn) gone, but it is strangely quiet at night without the dog to follow me around. I was going to keep Holden but when Brad and Shirley loaded Carter in the car, Holden gets very anxious about being left behind on a road trip and takes all measures to get in and stay in the car… so I let him go as well.
So wtih all my “boys” gone, I work like a maniac around the house. I was going to surprise Shawn with having the “grand foyer” painted but he knows I got a paint quote… and that I usually move forward when I become determined. So I am madly painting baseboards, ceiling and prepping the walls because we still are do-it-yourselfers but don’t want to fall off a ladder tying to pain the gigantic 2 storey wall up the stairs.
All for now.

Hey Sheelagh!
Long time no talk! I just was cleaning up some emails and came across your site. I actually am starting to blog myself…we are still working on the site a bit. Sounds like you are settled in and things are going well. I can’t believe how big Carter looks. The kids are growing so fast! We all ask about you guys every so often at play dates. Several of us were also just reminiscing about the Wine party at your place last fall. I will actually be in your part of the country-Buffalo in a few weeks June 22 to July 8th. Take care, Meegan
