Texas, Pennsylvania and Canada

, first I have to dust off all the cobwebs on this blog it's gotten very dusty lately.

Okay now that I got all of that cleared away. I will catch everybody up on the adventures of 1.5 Lauders and a Simpson.

I went for a visit to the Lone Star State, to see my Momma, Boofie, Aunt Margaret, Trey and Christina and I got to fall in love with Christina 's nephew John Patrick. I think I should see a baby every few days, it makes me feel better about being fat and having swollen ankles and having to go to the bathroom all the time. Texas was great, I got way too spoiled but I can't argue with a grandmother to be and a great grandmother to be. We ate sugar free ice cream every night and twice we got ice cream twice in one day, it was a great visit, lots of relaxing and the best part was I got to be there when my Mom got her new job offer! She has been there for over a week now and loves it, so congratulations MEMA!

So after Texas I was back in PA with my main man, the one and only J.Lauder, who by the way totally shaved his beard off and got a nice haircut. there are rumors circulating of some sort of beard tribute in the works. Right after I got back from TX and Jeremy picked himself off the couch where he stayed all week because he couldn't live without me (NOT!!!), he totally worked his butt off the whole time I was gone.

Then I came back from for a week and was whisked away to Fergus, Ontario! I spent a week with Tricia, Keith and Kalie while Jeremy built houses in Owens - Sound, Ontario. We went to Niagara Falls, the Scottish Festival , the greatest buffet ever and much more. Canada was nice and cool it was refreshing not being in oppressive heat for a week. Jeremy and I took a side trip to Toronto and had an awesome time. I totally recommend the Royal Ontario Museum.

Now this weekend, I am going with Liddy to Western Mass. to babysit her niece for a couple of days. We will be riding in style in her new Volkswagen Passat.

I will be posting pictures on facebook of our travels. That's it for the blog now.

Oh, and a big congratulations to Crissy and Jon on their new baby Tyler! Bridget, Liddy and I got to meet him last night and he is quite the ladies man. Very cute and smells very nice.

bye, talk to everyone later. Stay tuned we get a second trimester ultrasound in a few weeks.
