Summer is almost over....


The summer is almost over. Wow...it went so FAST.
Last week we rented a cottage in Quebec and we were blessed with great weather. A couple of our close friends rented cottages in the same location so we had lot's of people to hang out with. The highlight for me was the last day at the beach. Nate finally got into the water and he loved it (big accomplishment because we have been trying all summer). Jade was in the water and the rest of the gang including Emma. So much fun relaxing and throwing the ball. I loved it. Peaceful, relaxing, warm and fun. Good times and good memories.

Cottage life


We are just back from a trip to the family cottage on lake Nipissing. It was an adventure this year. Nate was very ill with strep throat and Darren, Jade and I all caught it. Even with the illness the trip to the cottage was a great week. The setting is very peaceful and beautiful. What a different simpler world. It was very nice to be without TV, phones and computers for a little while and to concentrate on what is important...family.
Big thanks to Garry and Helen for sharing their week with us.
