Hey Dolls, needless to say Mama appears to have fallen off the face of the earth but no, I'm still here!
It's been a busy-as-heck summer and we just returned from our annual summer holiday at our home in Greece. I'm back and ready for action (read: school starting ASAP) and I should probably get to down to biznass and play some serious blog catch-up.
Greece was great this year, sure there's a financial crisis happening but that's no reason not to enjoy some fun in the Mediterranean sun...
Kid #1 and #2 behaved amazingly on the flight over (thank you Nintendo DS) and for the first year ever I didn't have to haul strollers, car-seats or any other small-child-related-items. Praise the Baby Jesus!
Here's some pics, there are so many to show I guess I'll have to start with these...

Facts:

-I love my bed here at home in Canada
Apologies for the long hiatus but tell me how has your summer been?
Any family vay-cays or road trips? Are your kids driving you batty-shiz crazy like mine are?
