What's New?

I thought I should update before things go a little crazy here which will start in about 2 days. What's new? Well Father's Day was busy as I had to count collection and Mark volunteered at the Motor Show (it's a big fundraiser for Lochlan's school). So it included church, smoked salmon eggs benny, the Motor Show (visiting and working) and a BBQ in the garden. It was a nice sunny day and I think over all Mark had a good day.

I went on a beginner surfing course this past weekend and although the conditions weren't great, I had a lot of fun and even caught some waves.

The girls both had their first hair cut on Tuesday, Miah at 3 and Olivia at 19 mos. Funny thing is Olivia's hair is already thicker than Miah's.

Canada Day was hot and humid here. The kids and I donned our red and white. I made over sixty pancakes and took them into Lochlan's class with maple syrup, flags and a book about Canada. It was fantastic to see all these little brit kids waving the Canadian flag. A bunch of them even thanked me today so I think they enjoyed their little bit of Canadian culture.

Rather than that we are preparing for Lochlan's birthday and my sister's upcoming wedding. My brother and family have already arrived in London and the rest of my family arrives at our house next Wed. That'll make fourteen of us here. I'm getting excited and it is going to be action packed week. Lochlan has two more weeks of school and the little man already has plans for a sleepover at a friends for summer holidays. We've met his new teacher and he is excited about going into year one. So that is the scoop here. Happy Holidaying! L
