Canada, eh?

Wow! It's been awhile since our last update. Wish I had more exciting things to share! Rob was gone to Canada for 5 days at the beginning of July. He, his brother and his parents made their annual fly-in fishing trip to Canada. Limits were caught. Weather could have been better, but was not bad enough to deter the fisherpersons! Rob was missed here in many ways, but we stayed busy. We made our own bird feeders out of milk containers, re-painted Jacob's room to a more mature motif, and the kids got hair cuts. Would love to say we did more than that, but at this point I'm just glad we were all happy and healthy upon his return! Lady (our brown dog) is finally over the hump on a horrible ear infection that we have been treating since we got her in mid-April. We were swimming almost every day at the local pool until this crazy Fall weather hit! Our plan was to do a stay-cation this weekend and put the tent up in the backyard. The kids were super excited, but when yesterday found us in long sleeves and pants we all agreed sleeping outside would be no fun at all for this weekend. Tomorrow we head up to Cadillac for the day to stop and say hello to old friends and family we rarely get to see. We are out to prove that Rob is not invisible! I think he has not seen some of my family in almost 3 years!! Hoping things warm up a bit or our visit will be brief. The kids really need the outlet of the beach to make time go by quickly enough for their enjoyment. Will try not to be so long in between postings! Hope everyone is enjoying your summer time!
