Summer Holidays Are Here!

Well summer holidays are here at last!! It felt like it took so long to get through June even though it was so busy. Natalie had her Grade 7 graduation, and will be starting high school in September, we are so very proud of all her accomplishments so far! Ben will be in grade 6 in the fall and improved so much in the last part of the school year. Amelia will be in grade 2 and just had the time of her life in grade 1! Me...well I finished my first year of work after being at home for the past 12 years, and am glad that I have the summer off too...it was tough at times.

My parents came to visit for two weeks which wasn't long enough for me. Here is my mom knitting socks for some lucky person...I wonder who Baba is making these for?

Our rose tree, which was here when we moved in, is in full bloom and looks amazing. The picture doesn't do it justice, and when the wind is right, you get a heavenly scent wafting by...

My parents left today, my hubby played golf after work, and I absolutely dislike like the empty feeling in the house after someone leaves, so...I took the kids down to the beach, packed a supper and just relaxed! The tide was just starting to come in, and it was a warm evening. Lovely, just what I needed.
