We've been really busy so I haven't had the time to post anything in a while... First, we finally got around to having our house painted (now it's gray) which was well worth the $$ - It looks like we got brand new siding and Mike and I agree we should have had it done a long time ago! We also had a deck built off the back of our house. I love it! There's built in benches and flower boxes and they made a spot to put our grill. After all of that was completed, we thought it was time for a family va-ca so we took the train up to Toronto over my birthday. I've never been there before and quickly learned that it's not really the most family friendly place to go but we had a great time just being away from home and somewhere new. Luciana had a blast in the hotel pool (her 1st time in a big pool) and in the hotel room where there was plenty of space for games of "chase me down the hall" and she got to take a bath in the big tub! We went to the CN tower too where we all stood on a glass floor 100-something stories up and went outside (again at 100-something stories up). It was so windy being that high in the air! Luciana, of course, was a complete ham the entire time waiving to everyone that walked by as if she was the official CN Tower greeter.

Now we're getting ready for her 1st birthday party - I can't believe it's already here!
