Catching Up?

It seems I haven't had much to say in a long, long time. Quick recap of our lives since January:
Got rid of the business; new staff (but old friend) to train at work; horrid influenza creating a month of hell as it hit every one of us; car circus- in short, bought two almost simultaneously on E-Bay, one of those had to be stranded in Minot, ND for six weeks, totalled one we'd had, picked up Minot refugee vehicle, hit a deer with it, tried to sell other E-bay car then decided to keep it, found another one we wanted to keep, sold E-Bay car we had just decided to keep, sold other car we'd had for 10 years. Also- two new jobs for hubby, both relief/ part-time, and no child care for the summer. Got an alarm system, a big screen TV and digital cable, a cell phone (after six years without!), a laptop and Nintendo DS. Whew. Now that kids are back to school and settling in, maybe we'll catch our breaths.

So here's the summary in photos:

Ebay1 (Phoenix). Fun car, but sold Sept. 08.



Ebay2 (Kansas). The deer had worse damage. Fixed and running great.


92 Passat (Old Faithful). Miss you. Sold Sept. 08.


Waskesiu series. June 24-27. This was 30 seconds after we got out of the car.


Loved the way Will and Elise herded the younger cousins.

Leo. What a cutie.


I had forgotten how beautiful this place is.

Plenty of amusement in the common BBQ area.

The beer hunter.

Boating fun with Will and Nolan.


I never did figure out how Elise and Nolan got in together.
Wasn't easy getting them out.


My agile little primate doing what she does best- monkeying around.



Will has always been a digger.

More beach fun.


Playing at the resort playground.


Nolan getting bathed. "Mom, I think this tub's a little small."


Took the bikes to Oma and Opa's. Leo was pleased.


Meeting Lake, Aug. long weekend. The remains of Will's two fish, filletted by Captain Bob.


Edmonton, August 7-11. Lots of family time. Uncle Mike helping Will and Jacob with a new toy.


Elise and Jordan spent lots of time at the apple tree.


A hot afternoon at the Legislature.


Quite enjoyed watching wedding photos being taken on the steps.


Saskatoon Fireworks Festival, Idylwyld/Victoria Bridges, Aug.30th.
