All is well in the house.

As you can see from the picture Katie cut and donated her hair a few weeks ago. It was beautiful and gloriously curly with golden highlights - we hope it goes to help another little girl suffering though the loss of her hair. Katie is sporting a sassy new summer cut - low maintenance which is good because she is planning her first stint at sleep away camp this summer.

Alex is off in Costa Rica as I write this with his Grandma and Grandad and cousin Andrew. We miss him like crazy and hope he is have the experience of his life! I can't wait to pick him up next Wednesday and hear all about everything.

The rest of the summer is jam packed full of fun stuff -they have a camp in Ottawa for just about every activity under the sun. We are also planning a trip to PEI this summer with a lazy week in a rented cottage on the water.

We continue to enjoy each day with each other as the gift that it is.
