Alot can happen in a week...

Last weekend was probably one of the last days of summer we enjoyed swimming. We were at Corey & Janannes - funny, they weren't home! - with a bunch of friends and enjoyed a gorgeous sunny, summer day. Leah rode by with her horses and offered the kids a ride... Bella jumped at the chance. Roger came by with some of his toys too... the kids were all excited to get a ride in the huge rock truck! Thanks for the pool C & J! :o)

We also had a special visit from Sharon Warden and her mom, 'Grandma Shirley'. They stayed over for the night on their way up to New Brunswick. Sharon was in our area when I was a little girl, and I always had good memories of her... I'm sure the kids will now have good memories as well. She will be going back to the Ukraine in October.

Our house is moving right along... the second floor is being framed, and the kids can see where their bedrooms are going! We 'hauled' them up to the second floor, and they peeked out the bedroom 'windows'. It was all pretty exciting! :o) So we've been picking out stone for the fireplace hearth and looking at woodstoves, and it's not fun for a 1, 2 and 4 year old :o

Kyle and Kate - they are within 2.5 weeks of each other (and probably within a 'couple' pounds too!)
