A Different Kind of Day
Here's Shannon (and Naomi), on Sunday, at Grandma and Grandpa's. The only thing keeping her from totally dunking in the water was her mom saying "NO! DON'T! We don't have any dry clothes with us!"
And this morning we woke up to...I just don't know what to say.

Seriously?!?
I didn't post one of the biggest highlights of my summer?!
As I was reliving the weekend of my parents anniversary I was also reliving the week I spent with my cousin from Alberta. Thanks to Facebook for reuniting me with my family in the West, and thanks Sharon (and her daughter Sarah) for coming East, celebrating with us and allowing us to play host and tour guide. What a great time we had!!! (I like to be under the sea, in an octopus' garden...in the shade)
Sharon and I hanging out at the parliament buildings...together again after 16 years!

Back to the Summer
Just found this in my draft list...guess I was waiting for the absolute perfect picture...the right words...well, here goes caution to the wind....
AUGUST 14-17, 2009
We did a little more than watch the children play sport this summer. We also celebrated my parents' 45th wedding anniversary.
It was the hottest weekend of the summer.
We gathered with a 'few' family and friends.
Spent a lot of time in the water.
And celebrated God's goodness and faithfulness.

Back inTime
In an effort to catch up on our lives, I will just randomly post things that have happened over the last number of months. (Those of you that know me well know how hard that was for me to type. They will not be sequential order. Let's just blame it on spring fever and move on, before I change my mind)
February 28, 2010
The Olympics has come to Vancouver and my children are spending way too much time watching TV. After each event they all immediately decided that they are going to take up the sport and become an Olympic athlete. They spent time trying out the snowboard on our icy, bumpy, pushed-off-the-driveway-snow pile. They spent hours skating circles on our tiny pond, with their hands behind their backs (and NO hockey sticks). Shannon attempted twirls and jumps on her hockey skates. I didn't let them watch the skeleton.
Then came curling. Thanks to Aunt Kathy we all love watching curling. Omoe and Opa even came over to watch the men's finals with us. During the commercials the action didn't stop.
A mop for Brent's broom, the vacuum brush for Devin. A roll of red streamers serves as the button, red and blue plastic cups the rocks. Shannon encourages with "HARD! HARD! HURRY HARD!!!"

YIKES!!!!!!
I guess it is time for an update!
We have once again entered : Play Off Fever
For reasons we do not understand, we have friends who do not cheer for the Ottawa Senators. I guess they don't really like a long hockey season, and prefer the colour blue. The boys have been given permission to gently and politely tease them. I must admit...they're getting pretty good at it. A recent conversation went like this.
Brent: Soooooo (because Brent still never just says "So.") Mrs. T. are you going to cheer for the Sens now that your team is playing golf?
Mrs. T: I'm not sure...
Devin: Well, you look like you're already cheering for them. You're wearing black, and have a red purse!
Mrs. T: I'm just not sure I could say "Go Sens Go!"
Devin and Brent: YOU JUST DID!!!!!
