Week 1

Well, we're already a week into summer vacation and no entry from Kevin! I'll have to work on that.

Happy Canada Day!! A holiday and the official start to our Canadian summer. To kick it off we had our annual summer BBQ on Saturday. Its our 8th year, we've been doing it since moving into our house. About 50 of our friends and family gathered at our house this year. The kids swam in the pool, which wasn't as warm as we had hoped, but they didn't seem to notice. We had some drinks, ate and enjoyed a beautiful day.

The first full week of summer and we had a heat wave. We've been waiting so long for summer, and it slammed us hard. It rained today thank goodness and cooled things down. Brian and I both worked this week, at least there was air conditioning. Kevin went to a sports camp at Redeemer College, you'd think he'd have lots to write about wouldn't you? and Carly hung out with friends and slept.

Today a group of us from work went out for our regular Friday lunch...to my surprise they brought brownies and paid for my lunch. It was an early celebration for my birthday as I am on holidays next week. It was very nice...thanks guys!

Vacation next week!!!

Hi,

Welcome to my Blog, or the humble beginnings of one anyway. I've wanted to start a blog for awhile now but didn't know what to write about. My family, my hobbies, my thought and dreams...it's all a little overwhelming.

So, I've decided to hand over my blog to my 10 year old son. Who knows, maybe he'll have more to say than me. It was suggested that he would benefit from writing a journal over the summer. Something to improve his writing skills. We all know how that went over, right? When I suggested doing it on the computer, and posting pictures, and having followers...it all became more appealing. So this will be his for the summer but I'm sure I will contribute now and again.

Hope you enjoy.
