Long Overdue

I haven't posted on the blog in a long time - we've been having a fantastic, busy summer!! I will post a bit of an update on all of us and then a whole bunch of pictures.

Sarah - I have been busy with the new job I started in June. It is challenging, but I am enjoying it. We are all enjoying the new hours I am working - it's great to be home every evening.

I have also continued running, though not quite as often as I should! I am doing a 5K run in September with some girlfriends to raise money for Breast Cancer.

My latest task has been getting the millions of photos I have on our computer printed off and in a photo album. Instead of starting at the oldest I am starting at the most recent and moving backwards. So far I'm finished up to August 1st ... I have a long way to go!!

Allan - Allan's been busy working at his new job too. He is a Landscape Architect at Scatliff + Miller + Murray. He really enjoys it. He is also working on his Thesis and does his first presentation at the end of this month.

Madison - Madison graduated Kindergarten in June and we're all so proud of her. She did fantastic and graduated with straight E's (think the A Plus of the Kindergarten world) She also graduated with perfect attendance. In September Madi will be entering Grade 1!!

Madison also finished her third year of Dance with a recital in June. Grandma and Grandpa were able to come to Winnipeg for the recital - which was very special.

Madi will be starting back at Dance in a few weeks, this year she is taking Hip Hop and Jazz.

In May we enrolled Madison in Gymnastics at a local community club and she really enjoyed it, we've decided to let her go to Gymnastics once a week as well.

Annika - Annika's growing by leaps and bounds!! She is such an active, energetic girl!! Anna will be starting dance (ballet and jazz) and gymnastics this fall and is sooo excited to be like Madison and take classes! Annika also loves to sing and knows the words to many, many songs. Some that are adorable and some that may be a bit embarrassing to Mommy (Avril Lavigne!)

We've had a great summer with lots of visitors - Grandma and Grandpa, Granny and Grandpa, Tara and Amber & next week Jenn, Matt, Haylee and Tristan.

If we haven't seen you - we wish we would have, and hope to see you soon!! We'll be in Regina & Saskatoon over the September long weekend so if you can get together at that time - let us know!
