Time flies…

So, once again a lot of time has passed between updates.  I have serious doubts that anyone is even reading this blog anymore.  Let me know if you see this post, because if no one is reading anymore, I’m going to shut it down.

So, what’s new since the last update?

1.  A visit to the sugar shack.

In early April we visited a sugar shack not far from Ottawa.  We didn’t have a lot of time, and I would have liked to have spent a bit longer there, but we did manage to fit in the main things…

6.  Mennonite Relief Sale.

And finally, this weekend, we headed to New Hamburg for the annual Mennonite Relief Sale where we ran into old friends and ate lots of yummy food.

It didn’t rain, but it was overcast and threatening rain much of the day; so we put the kids in their rain suits.  I must have been asked at least a dozen times in the span of a couple of hours where we got the suits.  Everyone wanted one..

Okay, that’s it for now.  We are heading into a busy summer season.  My work is very busy, and I have a lot to get done over the summer, but we are still planning a few trips.  We want to get to the Toronto Zoo and Centre Island again this year.  We’re also heading to Newfoundland for a reunion of our China travel group from when we adopted the girls (we didn’t travel with a group when we got B), and hope to get to New Brunswick at some point.  We’re all also anxiously looking forward to our week at the cottage with my family.  I’ll try to find time to update this blog though throughout the summer, at least with some pictures.

Have a great spring!
