The Summer of 2011!!

Well, the summer is over, autumn is here (we're still enjoying beautiful weather so can't complain) and I haven't really posted any summer pics!

It's been very busy since May and sometimes it was hard to keep up let alone do a post! But, I want to keep our blog as a journal so I really need to get things updated. A couple of sad moments - We had the death of my Gramma Sadie and then my Gramma MacNeil 3 weeks later (I didn't even want to post about it as we've had a tough go with Grandparents. None left now which is very sad. But, my sister did a beautiful eulogy...it was perfect. Great memories). But we had some great times too. We went away with my brother and his family to "Logosland" and had the best time. A perfect family getaway if you want camping and water fun! We also had a family wedding which I was part of the wedding party....so lots and lots of fun. And a couple of weekends away for some much appreciated down time. :)

So, I'm going to post some pictures of Logosland and then in a few days hopefully I'll still be in full swing and post some pictures of the wedding/home.


The kids loved Logosland and I hope we can go again next year. The first night was all about the fire and roasting marshmallows! Yummy!!

Can't have a campground/waterpark without mini putt!

The water slides were a lot of fun but the red one definitely went the fastest! Shamus and Calli did great...flying down it...but Breagha was not ready for the challenge. Maybe next time!
She still loves to relax by the water and play in the sand. She is amazing at entertaining herself and happy with her own company. xoxo She rocks.
Breagha's other favorite part of the trip was the paddle boats! She loved them!!!
A little bit of everything at "Logosland".
Shamus' favorite part was the water trampoline. It was pretty cool.
My nephew, Alexander, was very good at bouncing off the trampoline.
We had a great set up: very close to everything. And great company.

My niece, Calli, is the perfect play mate for Shamus and Breagha. And very motherly to both although she is only a few months older than Shamus! Pretty cute.
And there was even a little farm!!
(and a golf course that the boys tried out one afternoon)
Miss B didn't want to leave the goats.
Shamus loves to be glued to HannaRose. I'm sure he must drive her crazy sometimes but she is very patient with him!

Shamus and Breagha adore their cousins and we are so thankful that we get to see them as much as we did. That was the big "bonus" to moving back to Montreal -having family in Ottawa!

Hmmm, that wasn't too long at all! Next time maybe even a couple of graduation pics (kindergarten and daycare:) and some soccer pics! They were pretty cute!

Hellooooo!

Yes, we are still around! Living our lives and updating about it - seems to be impossible since we moved back. I don't know if it's because the kids are more busy now or work/play, but the days are rolling by!

I do have lots to post. While we had some sad moments (I lost both my grandmothers within 3 weeks of each other) we also had some wonderful moments (family weddings are the best!) so I don't know where to start! I did say that I wanted to keep up with the blog until Breagha started school. So, I can't quit until I at least post some school pictures! So, stay tuned, I plan to post sometime this week. Hmmmm, that's the plan anyway! We'll see if it happens! :)
