Sneak peek

We had our annual fall family photos taken by Jenna this week. Owen really wanted his new kitten gizmo to be in our photos and Jenna was only to happy to oblige. This picture is just adorable! A great keepsake for Owen!!

Funny how every brother photo she has taken shows off their personalities perfectly!

10th Anniversary Cruise

Tony and I celebrated our 10th anniversary on July 27th by taking a Southern Caribbean Cruise. 

We sailed out of San Juan, Puerto Rico to St. Thomas, Barbados, St. Lucia, St. Kitts, and St. Marteen.

If you could imagine paradise, we were there.  The Caribbean is absolutely beautiful.  The islands and the people are wonderful.  Our favourite ports were St. Lucia and St. Marteen.  In St. Marteen we rented a jeep (Tony's favourite) and toured the island.  The islands are relatively small and you can drive around them in less than two hours.  

We hit two beaches including the one at the airport.  If you haven't checked it out before you can go on you tube and see the planes fly in just over your head and land on the other side of the beach.  It is fantastic to be in the ocean with the plane flying what seems a foot or two above you.  There is a beach bar right there with a surf board listing the arrival times for the day.  On top of this, the beach is one of my favourites!  So blue!

The cruise itself was great.  The ship was huge and had a great line up of activities and entertainment.  We made some friends along the way, which is one of the greatest parts of a cruise. We're giving a shout out to Dave and Kristin, Tom and Laurie and Barb and Ernie (who might just stop in for a visit to my blog).

As much fun as we had, it is always great to come home to our two little boys, that we both missed dearly.   

Sailing

 On the weekend we were invited to go Sailing with friends of ours.  We have never been sailing so this was a first!


We sailed out to a cove, anchored and swam in the Bay, had some lunch, swam some more and spent the afternoon in the sun.  


We had a blast.  The day was perfect!

 

Happy Birthday Canada!

 We headed to the beach for Canada's Day!  We took in the rides on the pier, a parade, visited the vendors and spent some time on the beach!  It was wonderful!

In the evening, the Brown's invited us out for dessert, a swim and fireworks.  We had a great time.  The fireworks were great!  We even arrived home in time to see the rest of the display our backyard neighbours were putting on!

Owen's Last Day of School

Flowers and present for Mrs. Flynn

Owen has had a wonderful year in Grade One. He was very blessed to have such a wonderful teacher.  Owen will tell you how lucky he was to have such a nice teacher.  It goes along way to such a wonderful influence on your child.  

Owen did really well in Grade One and we are very proud of his accomplishments.  On the last day he came home with a bag full of his work and a memory book Mrs. Flynn had made for him.  He was fun to look at his growth over the year.  Way to go Owen!

Griffin's First Loose Tooth

Griffin has been asking and asking when he would have a loose tooth and to our surprise his bottom tooth was loose!

Griffin wiggled and wiggled and on Wednesday, daddy was able to take it out.  Griffin was very excited for the Tooth Fairy to visit.  And even more delighted when she left him five shiny loonies!

Cute Smile!

Thank you Mrs. Wright

Griffin is finished his first year of school!  We are very proud of him.  He accomplished so much, and has made new friends, and most of all he just loved school.  Thank you Mrs. Wright for all you have done for Griffin this year.  We know that you are a big reason that Griffin loves school!
