Long time, no blog.

First day of school for four out of six. Time to lose the big stoller, and find a single just for Courtney.

The happy birthday poster the kids made for Cliff for his birthday.

A quiet little birthday party for Cliff.

Cupcakes for Carly's birthday. She picked each kind for each guest.

Carly is 7!

Hello again, since I last blogged we have been away on holidays, and celebrated a few birthdays. The kids are back in school. We have one in grade 5, 3,2 and K. So far, so good.

I sliced my finger open on a tuna can, and required a couple of stitches. And, last night we had stuff stolen out of our van. Not only our van, but many vehicles in our area. Last count I heard 13! So sad this is happening in our own backyard. Reminder to all: Keep your vehicles locked, and don't keep your valuables inside!

I still need to download Catie's birthday photos to share! Plus photos from our holidays!

A few for now...

This is a cup full of dirt, that I dropped in the house. Don't ask. I was trying to bring it to the kitchen, and I dropped it. Mud went from floor to the ceiling. This is mid summer.

This is from last week. We were in Osoyoos for a week. You can just see Caroline and Catie. And I think Cameron at the edge of the dock. We love it there!

Another view of the lake. Cameron did some knee boarding behind the white and red boat. (More photos to come--these are only off my camera phone)

And this has to be my fave of the summer. Courtney, sleeping on the bench.

More to come. Like Carly's TWO birthday parties. Her first one was very quiet and lonely. So, we had another one last night. I have photos from both on my new point and shoot. Need to take them off my camera.

And, we have Cliff's birthday coming up in less than a week, and Catie's turning 5 in one week. On her very first day of Kindergarten. Exciting times!

Seven Bumps - Last night as a six year old.

Tomorrow my CarlyFlower turns seven! It is hard to believe that my girl is growing up so fast! We plan on having some cake with the G-Parents around dinner time!

She has been fun to watch grow up! I just love her so much! Sleep well six year old.

Looking forward to spending the afternoon with you.

New cool girl glasses from Nannie.

A gift card to Chapters from Aunty and Uncle and Abby and $$ from Oma to get her ears pierced!

Opening gifts with girlfriends

My first little girl aka my second child turned 7 yesterday. To celebrate we took her to get her ears pierced. She did great and couldn't be happier! We also had 8 girls to a good old fashioned birthday party at our place.

The weather couldn't have been more perfect! Sunny, sunny sunny just like the day she was born. How did 7 years go by just like that?!
