On the Cover of Rolling Stone (well, almost)

Look what came in our mailbox!!!! and that of all the other fine residents of North Dundas Township!
Omoe and Opa took the children to a pumpkin decorating day at the Farmer's Market in Chesterville last fall and this photo was taken. It appeared in the local paper a few weeks later, and with no announcement, ended up as the cover to the fall activities directory just recently. Imagine the excitement when they came in with the mail that day!!!!
Please call ahead for autograph sessions.

Back in Time

The boys had the privilege of joining a group that spent forty-eight hours at Upper Canada Village. They dressed in period costume, ate period food, did barn chores, went to school and apprenticed at the tinsmith and blacksmith. Needless to say, they had a BLAST!! Here are a few shots my mom took as she followed them around the village one day.

Devin is finishing up on his slate, while Brent and their friend Zach wait for their recitation time.
Here they are learning a dance for the full moon festival. I think Brent is more pleased with his partner than Devin ;-)

How I Spent My Summer: Part Three

AND since the boys were both doing something, of course Shannon wanted to play too. Fortunately for our gas bill, her soccer team played at the same time, and in the same park as Devin's home games. So I could just drop Devin off at the diamond for his warm up at 6:00pm, watch Shannon play soccer from 6-7 and go back to watch the end of Devin's game until 8:00pm.
Shannon just loved it! She listened very intently to her coach, ran with all her might, and of course was thrilled to be able to get her very own soccer shirt!
