Well it has been sometime since I last posted. You know it's time to blog when even your mother says you haven't updated in a while. So here it goes.
Since my last blog we have done lots:Haircuts
Jaelyn, Ava, and I had our hair done. This was significant for Ava since we cut 11 inches off and donated her hair to Angel Hair for Kids Program.

Vacation
We spend July 13th-23rd at Elim Lodge with lots of family from the Roffel and Koomans sides. Jaelyn and Ava enjoyed the"little" beach AKA the Elim beach or the "big" beach which meant out in the boat.

Moving
I painted in our new house during the last week of July. Thanks Ed & Joanne for allowing us in early to do this. We officially owned the house on July 29th. We moved in throughout that weekend. A big thank you to everyone who helped with our moves this summer.

Vacation
We spent a week in our new house and then we headed back to Elim Lodge to spend another week there with more family and friends. We had a lot of rain this week but did manage a boat trip to Lindsey in very rough boating conditions and visit the Peterborough Zoo.

Boating trip with Henry & Stacey Noordam and family
I was home a couple of days and I went on vacation again this time to Rondeau Provincial Park with a group of girlfriends and their kids.

While here we celebrated Hannah B's 4th birthday! Her mom made yummy cupcakes. We saw lots of dirt, water, and mud. Campfires were my favourite as I could relax without having to worry about what the girls where up to since they were sleeping.
