Hello! It's been an unusually long time since I have updated my blog. My apologies (I'm usually the one getting on everyone else's case for not posting new material). The month of July and now August have been extremely busy at work and at home. I have had a couple of long trips to Toronto but the project has been mostly completed with success and now I can focus on the rest of the North American Division and the Creative Division in Scottsdale Arizona (which will entail at least one more trip to Canada to show the creative execs how well the new systems in Canada work).
We made a huge mistake earlier in the year by scheduling a trip to Utah in early August and I had to be in Stamford Connecticut for meetings with the CEO, CFO and my boss the same week we planned on leaving and thus, had to cancel (or jeopardize my future with Esselte Corp). Needless to say, the girls have not been too happy with me during this summer either. While complaining that she is "bored" all the time, Isabelle has been attending summer Cello lessons and Tap Dance lessons all summer long and is doing very well at both. This past Saturday Isabelle's class performed at the Bellport "Dock Show". We got to sit outside near the bay and watch the girls perform. Speaking of which, we actually made it to the local beach a couple of weeks ago (Smithpoint park) about 15 min from the house. The ocean was a bit chilly but the waves were nice and we had a blast soaking up the sun.
Heather is still working frantically at her new business and is doing well, school is about to start in a couple of weeks. I'm still suffering as the 1st councilor and ward exec sec in the Bishopric, and Heather has had at least one more of her Primary Activity extravaganzas. So it has been a very busy month. We only had 48 people show up to church this Sunday, a new low.
Coming up: I have a trip to a resort in Wisconsin for a CIO summit. School starts in 14 days for Isabelle who just got her letter from Mr. Whaley (the teacher we petitioned the principal for and who Isabelle had in first grade) so she is very happy. Isabelle will be getting braces soon. Aubree is getting more teeth in and no longer sleeps as a result (neither do we!). We have just re-booked our Utah tickets to December 20th-Jan 3rd! Let's hope this time it sticks!
Talk to you soon!
