Up North!

To continue our summer fun, we moved from one family lake cottage to the next. We then had a lovely couple of days with A's side of the family. We walked to the candy store every day (this has greatly impacted M's life), and we watched a ton of Olympics every night. Fantastic family times.

How I Love You, Lovely Lake

Sisters A, C, and I were able to spend a few precious days with our families at the lake (our childhood hangout, location of Grandma & Grandpa's oh-so-packed-with-memories cottage). It meant so much to me to have my kids playing in the same lake that I played in so often as a kid. And to be there with my sisters...priceless. Loved it, loved it, loved it.

So glad Charice was able to come visit!

Summer Catch-Up

So, remember the summer of 2008? Admittedly, it was a while ago; but there are still memories that have yet to be posted here. I will not leave them behind!

We spent some time gallivanting around to see family and play a lot. First up is Dad and M's place, where we gathered to celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary.
