Hmmmmm...

The last few months and the fairer weather have found my friend and I out for lengthy evening walks. We push ourselves to walk a fast pace, me often ending up with severe pain in my shins, refusing to avoid the hills. We have decided to alternate biking with walking so tonight we took off on the trail that runs the route of the old railroad. Fifteen kilometers was what we accomplished tonight and neither of us are sure that we will be able to move tomorrow. My wrists even hurt! I'm just wondering if the result will be worth the torture! Off I go to soak in the tub. That is if I can make it up the bloomin' stairs!

playing catch up...

I'm not really sure where the time has gone over these last couple of months, but it seems to have gotten away from me! We have been busy enjoying life, so I thought I would bring you up to speed in pictures. Lots of what we did was not captured, but I think you will get a good sense anyway...even if it is all in reverse order with most recent events first.

Daniel took part in the Father's Day run for Prostate cancer. Although the group form the school was small, they raised the most money of any school.

Aaron Daniel and Brian right at the start line, ready to take off...Brian ran the 2.5 k and Daniel and Aaron took on the 5 k.

Daniel managed to come in twelfth, beating his run time for the Bluenose by 1:40 coming in at just 23 mins.

Daniel took part in a track and field meet with five schools participating. He ran the 1500 m placing third, and took fourth in the longjump...

Calire celebrated her birthday with some friends...

and played in her piano recital...

we managed to have a dry and windy-less evening so gathered with some friends for a bonfire...the first of the season.

I attended Leah's baby shower for long awaited Josie...

I reupholstered a chair...

we celebrated Claire's eighth birthday...

and Daniel went to his first awards banquet. Does he not look impressed?!?

Sam decided that climbing to the top of the fence was an easier way to talk to Tessa than calling through the fence...

Daniel took part in the youth run...

and the Bluenose Marathon 5km on the same weekend...

I attended Keltie's wedding shower, and am looking forward to her wedding on the 28th. Keltie is a precious girl who I have known for years both as a kid I used to babysit and now as a friend. Daniel carries her dad's name as his middle...Bruce died almost twelve years ago so this wedding will be full of joy and sadness all mixed together...

we had sick kids...they decided to be sick together in Sam's bed, watching movies and sleeping off and on for a few days. We all had it in fact. This pic was taken just before I was hit...

we had our first road rash...

I went to the annual ladies retreat where our cabin was the Saturday night entertainment!

and we got a new kitchen door... going backwards, that pretty well sums things up for the last few months!
