Ah, the summer memories will have to wait. A couple of days ago, Kaiya and I visited a neighbour baby, Hannah. Hannah had grown out of a certain hat, and so her mom passed it on to Kaiya. When Jeff and I put the hat on Kaiya, we both burst out laughing. We agreed that the hat was painfully cute. Complete Journal

September is now here, but thankfully, the sunny skies and hot weather remain. Jeff is back to work with a new batch of Grade 8s that seem more manageable than last year's. Time will tell. I'm busying myself with painting all our trim once again (the coat I did in the summer was just primer), and Kaiya and I are settling into our new routine.Before the summer gets too far away from all our minds, I wanted to put up a couple more posts of some of the things we did in July and August.

Last week we were invited to hang out at Uncle Ted and Aunt Dorothy's cottage in Coboconk. It was a good week spent lounging on the dock, touring around the Kawartha Lakes region, and watching the summer Olympics. Admittedly, as I've told a few people, vacationing is not the same as it was pre-baby.

Horses and chocolate! What more could you want? I certainly wouldn’t want anything else. As a chocolate fanatic when I saw this holiday package on the www.equestrian-escapes.com website I knew it would be the perfect break for me. I could hardly contain my excitement leading up to the holiday and when I arrived I was not disappointed.
