Weighing in

Today Ava weighed 42.2 lbs, Ella weighed 30.6 lbs and Ethan played in the sand box.On Monday I took the kids to dance class at the Y, They all danced and bounced and ran and followed instructions very well. There were two boys in the class, and when they were asked to pick a partner Ethan and the other boy both grabbed one of Ella's hands and led her through their dance across the floor. On our way into the class Ethan informed me that dance was for girls.... I nodded and said I was pretty sure that boys danced, but it was totally up to him. So he sat down beside me as Ava and Ella made their way to the group. Ava became a little unsure of it all and headed back and then Ethan came to the rescue, letting go of the "rules", said "I will go with you so you are not scared". Then the three of them walked over too the group sat down and enjoyed every minute, well Ella lasted through most of it, but came and sat with me for the last 20 mins :)
Are there pictures no I don't have many from this summer, I have been in the pool :)

Ant has started Kite surfing, I believe there is someone else who might be interested as well.

The Pool

To say we are enjoying the pool is an understatement :)
I have no idea what we did before we had one, I'd have to guess we were hot and sweaty :)
This summer is flying by. So far we have gone boating, to the beach, to see cars 2 at the theater, to a petting zoo, several parks, taking swimming lessons, eaten ice cream, celebrated our 10th anniversary in Niagara falls (without kids :), flipped the boards on the deck, redone most of our kitchen (all Ant working hard) and of course swam in the pool almost every day :)
I also had the privilege to shoot a wedding which has me editing in my spare time, I'll send the link to preview when it is up on our website.

Miss Chief

here is where the plan is formulated
looking for the right moment
Oh the stealth, oh the giggles

First, learn how it's done

then blend in

and when the time is right
seize the moment

Miss Chief
she is bringing life here to
a whole nother level
of mischief

Blah.... so much for twice a week right lol
and yes it is laughable.
Pictures of the house right......do you know that someone with my organization skills and actual desire to clean really shouldn't be responsible for the unpacking of years and years of crap out of boxes. I mean I have combed through box after box of.....
you know what, I have no idea what it all is.
I have had offers of help, but really no one has been brave enough to follow through and really who wants to sort through old crap????
NOT ME!!!!!oh wait.......
I don't have a choice
Anyway here are some pictures from today, I'm getting used to a new camera that I borrowed so I may even have more tomorrow :)
But please don't hold your breath K

You Are

their protection

keeper of warmth and comfort


always there to give a little push

a strength that keeps them balanced

working so hard to make them happy

I love you, they love you
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

Life

These pictures show the difference between how I felt about living in Cornwall and now about living in Cambridge.




I felt invisible just a reflection of someone going through the paces, now I need a clear umbrella so that nothing gets in the way of seeing the world around me.

We're Alive

All is well, we have almost everything out of boxes, now everything needs a spot :)
I'll be posting pictures as we get rooms finished so stay tuned.
But now I have to go and enjoy a drink on the back deck, before Ant heads out to work for 5 days :(
