I'm Baaaaack

So, it has been quite some time since I have posted. Here is a quick update on what we have been up to.

Trip to the Toronto Zoo with the kids, and Kurt's parents as well. It was awesome! The boys like the fish the most, they ran around saying "Nemo, nemo". Thanks a lot Disney...They had such a great time that we went to Springwater Park that has animals as well, and the local zoo in Elmvale too. Fun, fun, fun




We played hide and seek, made forts, we painted, markered and stickered, we went to the park every day, sang songs, danced, did science experiements, and played pretend. Below Jude is being a robot, because all cardboard boxes either became trians or robots. Isn't that what they are for?



Naomi and my Dad flew through for a quick visit, and stopped to enjoy some strawberries of course. Later on the whole family, and I mean everyone, descended for a short family reunion. Coordinating the brief overlapping visits from my brothers out west took some work, but it was so cool to have the whole family together for a day.



 We camped! We camped with friends and and a bazillion of our kids altogether at Grundy, and later we camped just with our little family at Arrowhead. It was fantastic, the boys really loved the whole thing, so did we!






 We celebrated! We celebrated Kurt's birthday, Scott and Jillian's engagement, and recently Rob and Ashley's wedding.


And now it is back to school and work, and the insanity that is juggling work and home. In fact, I should be marking, or doing laundry, or planning, or making phone calls, or making a newsletter, or emptying the dishwasher...really there are about 100 more important things than updating this blog! See you later...
