CAMPING AT SIBALD POINT PROVINCIAL PARK
OK, OK! I know....where in the heck has Dave and his BLOG gone? Down the drain? Did he fall off the face of the earth? What's the status of Brenden? Is he finished high school yet?
Well, we've been through a lot in the many months of not posting anything. I felt I needed a break. A summer break. A "don't want to update the BLOG" break.
Here goes...I am going to try and keep it short and sweet and to the point, although I tend to drift away from the point from time to time. Bear with me.
Brenden has approx. a 20 word vocabulary now. I think his favorite song now is, "If you're happy and you know it ...... ". He can pretty do or say what you tell him as long as it's simple. He is finally starting to walk. He's getting braver day by day. At first he would only walk between mommy and daddy. Now, when were not paying complete attention, he will walk from point A to point B wherever that may be. Sometimes it seems like he's on a mission to get somewhere. He has learned to take his time when he walks. He used to rush it and fall down. Now he knows, in order to remain standing he must go slow. Baby steps. The only time he really falls down is when he's on a mission and looks forward only and doesn't realize a toy is sitting on the floor and he runs into it. He really doesn't care what's sitting on the floor, just clear the way. He is teething again?! When will it end?! More drool to contend with and avoid at times. He recently had a bad diaper rash as well, but it's getting better now. He is still enjoying Daycare (at least it seems that way when he doesn't want to leave at night).
Michelle, Brenden and I are loving our new home in Whitby. Brenden loves the space to move around and so do we. I think we'll call this home for many years to come.

Michelle is doing good and I'm doing better now. On August 19th I had to have an emergency appendectomy. My appendix partially ruptured. I was in the hospital for 6 days and I just started back to work on September 10. I am still in recovery mode, but feeling much better than I was.
Not much more to say. Short and sweet as I said it would be. Summer was here, and summer is now gone. Next post in the fall! Just kidding...hopefully it'll be sooner than that.
For those that read this post....thanks for checking the posts when I haven't been writing. I know some of you were reading these posts a few times a week. Sorry for the delay and thanks for reloading the page over and over hopeing for a new post to appear.
Until next post, have a good one!
