Looking ahead

I just posted several posts from our adventures of the past 2 weeks. If you are just checking, look and read from the post "playdate" through to this one.

The past couple days have been intentionally low-key. Ryan took some pictures of Ethan and Evelyn playing in a laundry basket that turned out well. I made a deal with Evelyn that she could play outside after she cleaned her room and put all her puzzle pieces away. I was very impressed with her efforts. She put things where they belonged and tidied her puzzles really well. I like that she knows that everything has a place and can put things back.

We are looking forward to a visit from the Sahota's tomorrow night and Saturday. I hope the weather co-operates and we can visit Long Lake. Evelyn wants to play with the train set with Casey.

On Monday, I have to take the car in for a big maintenance that will take about 4 hrs. Ryan has offered to take the kids. I am VERY excited to have 4 hrs of puttering and window shopping and visiting the chiropractor without kids in tow.

On Wednesday, Ryan will be going to Calgary for another workshop. Thankfully, they are car-pooling so I don't have to drive him.

On Friday, Ryan gets home from Calgary, and we are expecting a visit from the Brands (Juliana's family).

Then, Ryan starts back at school and the next year begins! What happened to the summer?

It will be so nice for you to have some time to yourself. Dawne came home and told me all about her visit and we both agree that we wish you lived here. Once again thank you for the BD cards and gift and the thank you note. Love and kisses to all.

Cute pictures! Thanks for staying in touch through blogs! I'll have to read your more often (though I only do email once every week or two for 45 min) Your kids are so cute :)

You're right...where did the summer go? It goes so fast and we look forward to time off all year.

You'll treasure those pictures, I'm sure.
