A whirlwind summer...

It's been a summer that has zoomed by. The kids have been busy with a number of activities and our schedule was a little too...well, scheduled! I've fallen off of my resolve to take lots of summertime pictures and am annoyed that I missed much of August with the camera.

All of us are looking forward to school...although I'm pretty sure Findlay hasn't a clue what awaits him. I haven't been able to get anything of substance done around the house or for work over the entire summer...so I'm hoping productivity will be what defines the month of September. I can always hope.

A late summer cold seems to have hit our household, so while I'm not knocked out by any stretch...I feel well-below par.

In spite of my complaints and laments...I'm so lucky to be doing what I am. My kids are healthy and happy and they still like me most of the time! That's got to count for a lot. Why is it when we're counting our blessings that we're also waiting for the bottom to fall out at the same time? Is it human nature, or just the Canadian way? So many research studies that I have topics for....but of course no interest in actually conducting them...that's for other people!

Meredith and Ginger

Meredith enjoyed a little cuddle time with the Temples new guinea pigs. She wasn't so sure about them after Ginger bit her finger though.

Olivia's new glasses

Olivia recently got new glasses and she is so thrilled to be able to see. We're not sure how long life had been fuzzy for her, but the day she got the glasses it was as though her head was on a swivel....so we're so happy she can see again!

The Porsche is back...

After waiting a month from the purchase date, Andrew was finally able to drive the Porsche home to enjoy his new toy.

Yoga for Cats...

My sister-in-law Shelly gave me a book a while back called Yoga for Cats, and I had to chuckle when I saw Axel cozy up on my Yoga mat. I have enjoyed learning a little bit of Yoga recently and I look forward to going to classes regularly....someday.
