Back From the Cottage

We got back from the cottage this week and we certainly enjoyed the continued hot weather after missing it for most of July when we were out west. Grace enjoyed sliding down a small plastic slide into the water and the boys enjoyed exploring, swimming, fishing, watching wildlife and lazing around. One quiet Sunday afternoon we even had a bear come sniffing around looking for berries.
We had good visits with our cousins on Papa's side of the family with many big dinners with all the leaves in the table. This week we got our classrooms ready and Grace adjusted to her new caregiver, "Nanny Maria!"

Bikini Girl

Grace has a few years of being able to wear a bikini without having to worry about the rolls of chubbiness. Of course, this isn't very practical as she has to wear her sun suit in the sun and the swim diaper just doesn't fit under the bikini bottoms. However, it makes an adorable photo!

School is out for summer!

Another school year gone by! I can't believe Luke will go into Grade 1 and Liam into Grade 3 in September. The boys got excellent report cards and while Liam is sad school is over, he is thrilled to have Ms. Aikman again next year.

We are packing up and doing laundry so we can head to the cottage this weekend. I am having a sudden reminder of all the gear that we need when travelling with a baby....

There is a lot of rain in the forecast for next week but who wants to stay in Toronto with a smelly garbage strike...?

It is dial-up for the internet while we are up north but I will try to post pictures when I can. Here are a few from the last week.

Water babies

The boys always love to go swimming. Grace didn't seem to mind it either.
