August 2011

Well, I realize that August has just flown by & if I don't post soon I will not have posted at all this month!! It's been a very busy month with visitors - but the camera was never used - what a shame!!! First we had my sister & her family as well as my niece and her family over for a weekend. We took the boat out on the lake on the Saturday and for the rest just enjoyed time with them. Too bad we didn't get pictures of my niece's boy Ezra - he's about the same age as Vinny and it was fun to see them interact. A week later we had friends from Iowa come to visit - they have been very good to Lorelle while she's been studying at college in their town. It's her "home away from home" and we definitely understand why she enjoys seeing them. Here's just one picture of their youngest one - so cute!!

There's been lots of coming & going in our family this summer. Jocelyn left to work in Ontario, came back & left a day later for a 2 week mission trip to Mexico, then came back for a week and left for Police Academy in Yakima, WA. Lorelle stayed closer to home working at Premier and has now left for her 3rd year of College. Henry drove with her to Winnipeg where he could have meetings at his head office and Lorelle was able to spend some time with a significant other :)

So far we've not gone away on vacation so we've decided to take a long weekend away camping in the interior of BC. Looking forward to hot & sunny weather and making good use of our boat. See you later!!!
