ok Mom...are you happy now?

It has been forever since I posted. I have been hounded by my mother to "please update"...so here it is...
We have had a very busy summer. Lots of travel, lots of fun
School ended in June and my little girl (Alma) graduated from kindergarten with all smiley-faces. I am so proud of her. She is going into first grade the last day of August. We even bought a pair of tie-up shoes for school.
We decided that a new deck would add a lot to our house, so tore out our old deck and build a new one - I am really pleased.

the NEW deck

The first week of July we went to Graham's Dad's cabin in Manitoba. It was beautiful. The girls love playing with their uncle Parker and Auntie Devin and most especially the three dogs. It was a bit colder than last year, but the girls still had a blast at the beach.

Graham brought a volleyball and we had a hard time keeping him away from the beach volleyball net.

I really enjoyed being with the family, riding bikes and playing games. We had a great visit.

part two coming up...
