High 5 to Fall

Good to see that you're still checking the blog because, we have been delinquent - ever since Julia got bi-pedal. The three of us are enjoying the Fall colours. We have been out geo-caching a few times and (well) today we simply went for a walk at local O'Dell Park.

Sailing East Wednesday AM to our Treehouse

Yup it's true, our time visiting Erin's mother pre and post op is over. We have been so blessed to have our Ontario Family open their arms to us for such a lengthy visit. Julia rests as I type and we pack our bags. Hmm, what will I forget?????

Last weekend, we packed up the car full of the peeps (Erin, Meghan and Julia) and rode the wave of positive vibrations all the way downtown to Lakeshore Boulevard which is the terminus of the Biggest Caribbean Parade in the world. Let's go !!!!!!!!

North up HWY 400 to my cousin Martin's place

On Saturday July 24th, we headed North to visit my first-cousin Martin who lives near Coldwater.

It's playtime at the ultimate playland with the kids Leila and Tara.

One evening this week, Julia thought it would be cute to climb inside -and it was.

Here is a very captive audience. You decide who is entertaining who in this photo? (This photo was taken secretly through the patio sliding door. )

This beautiful smocked-dress was made by Julia's grandmother Julia. This week, Grandma Julia was affectionately and respectfully given the nickname "Gigi". In this photo Julia is being trained for the Toronto Jazz Festival being held at The Beaches in Toronto's East-end.
