Life

Well, it has been some time since I have posted and I do appologize to all of you who keep coming to check and find the same old post up there for you. I had every intention of posting before I went away on vacation for a week and then forgot.

Yes, we went on vacation. It was along with Daves parents and three of his siblings so it wasnt just our little family but it was very relaxing. So that is one reason why the posts have not been coming.

We left last Friday and stayed for the week at a nice cottage up near Calabogie. Its a small town with pretty much mnothing in it because it is primarily cottage country. It was a beautiful wook cottage and we got to stay there for free because Dave and his dad were working on a deck and balcony for the owners.

I didnt take many pictures because our camera takes terirble pictures so the one I took were at the dock.

I spent most of my time reading and resting. We had fantastic weather. Matty was a wonderful little boy. Not only did he love the water, he continued his regular routine and had all his naps and slept throught the night. He rarely fussed and he had a great time with his van der Meer family. One of his favourite things was the golf cart. The owners had a golf cart to get from the cottage to the dock (they arent terribly close and its up hill the whole way back). Matty would get into the goolf cart and just relax. He would almost fall asleep every time unless he was sitting with the driver. Then he was trying to drive the whole time.
Here's Tante Katrina watching Matty in the water while I went for a swim. I grabbed the camera while I thought there was a moment.

Here she is again drying him off after he had a good swim. Dont you just love the hair Matty has?

Other than reading, I managed to finish my project for my cousin Maryanne who just had an adorable boy named William. Congrats Helms family. I hope to send it some time this week once a few other projects are finished.

Since being home, Ive been trying to get back on top of the house. We came home to it nice and clean as I left it and that night it was a disaster. I honestly have no idea how it happens. After this is posted, I will get back to my cleaning. I just thought taking a break to post would be a good idea.

So I leave you with this until I have a chance to get more pictures from the rest of the family.
