I haven’t added very much about life on this blog for a while. Our summer was busy and for the most part great. After spending this bonus 6 and a half weeks travelling south of here in the spring it feels like we have had an extra long summer.
The summer weather here held out throughout September and we had our last swim in the pool on the last day of summer!
This morning we woke to a hard frost and a chilly house so decided to put the furnace on for a bit. (Also to make sure it’s working)

The view from the living room window shows that it is truly Fall.
We also winterized the pool and tucked away the pool toys yesterday.
Some of the summer highlights included having two of our grands for almost a week, Olivia was almost a year and Jaxson almost 4 kept us on our toes but and gave us so much joy during their stay!


Kaija and I didn’t get as much sewing in as we had planned, the weather was just too nice not to be outside!

The Jack in the Box is always a big hit with the grands!

Liam still enjoys making a fort and having a nap in it!

I had so much fun with these two little sweeties, my daughter Emily’s daughters. They are pure joy!

Our annual trip to the Dells was extra fun with another family joining us this year.
After a fun stop along the lake everyone agreed that our next stop should be Dairy Queen in Two Harbours.


Everyone had a great time at the Waterparks, somehow I didn’t get many pictures this year.
We celebrated Kaija’s 5th birthday at Moose Jaw Pizza, her Dad had also recently celebrated his birthday it was a significant one as well and began with 4 😊




Looks like it was a great summer! Grands are such a blessing!
