Well, we had our first ever family vacation. We spent 3 lovely nights at a cottage on Christie Lake (near Perth, Ontario) with our friend Claire and her one year old daughter Rosie. They were visiting from northern Manitoba. I was at Rosie’s birth last summer and was so excited to see her and how much she’s grown. She’s so beautiful, just like her mama – huge eyes and lips. And what a handful! It made us realize how much easier infants are to take care of than a one-year-old.

It was great to hang out, swap stories, catch up. We tooks some little fieldtrips into Perth and to Titia’s farm, Ravensfield. Paul got up at the crack of dawn (actually, even before that) to canoe solo each morning.
