How many days until next summer??

Hi again all,

Sorry for the long hiatus between posts. I don't really have any excuse. Normally when I don't post for awhile it's because nothing much has been going on, and I have nothing to tell you. Not so much the case this time. I guess I was just too lazy to post.

So, DoT told you all about our NB travels this summer. We also spent a week at a cottage on Lake Huron, with my family (except brother of sister-in-law, who couldn't make it). It was fabulous. Now that the girls are a bit older, they can entertain themselves somewhat, so it meant more time relaxing for DoT and I. And when the girls did need entertaining, cousins J & M were always ready to help. :-)

Here are a few pics (a couple at the cottage pool, one at the beach, and one of the girls' first exposure to "smores" - they were a hit) ...

In other big news... the girls are toilet trained! Yeah. When they started back at the daycare this August, we decided to give it a try, even though the girls didn't seem to have any interest, and if anything seemed quite against the idea themselves. But they surprised us all, and within a matter of several days had gotten the hang of it, and we really had few accidents. It's nice to not have to be changing so many diapers. They still wear diapers to bed at night, but that's fine with me.

Finally, we've been to a couple of fairs in the last few weeks. A loves most rides, but E is a bit more selective and only wants to ride a couple.

Well, that's it for today. Hope you all had a good summer. And here's hoping for a long, long fall season followed by the shortest winter on record.

K...
