Long time no write!

Well it has been awhile since I have wrote anything here, this spring/summer has been extremely busy! First off at the office, we have been busy seeing many students who are off for their summer break and need some deep teeth cleaning after a long year at school. Welcome backs students!

We celebrated Ethan's 3rd birthday on Canada Day which was great. All those fireworks and festitivities to celebrate our country's birthday provided an excellent background to his. We had to explain to him a few times that not everyone's birthday falls on a special day like Canada Day when their is so much going on. Neverless, we had a fantastic day and finished the day with an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen, all of our favourite!


Our family life had been busy up until July 2nd when our children went up north to the Sault to stay with their grandparents for the summer. Sarah and I were very worried that both Ethan and Ella would be homesick, but they have put those fears to rest when each phonecall to them ended in, "I have to go now mom and dad, I am going to play with...or I am going...or I am busy..." We are so glad they are having a great time but we cannot believe that our 4.5 and 3 year old are growing up so quickly and do not seem to 'need' us as much at they used to. Don't get me wrong the quiet time to do things that I remember enjoying prior to having children is nice, but I wouldn't trade it for the world! Actually I cannot totally remember what took up my time prior to them!


This past weekend we visited the kids as we missed them a little too much. We drove all night after our workday on Thursday so we could arrive when they woke up on Friday morning. The kids were very surprised as they had expected us Friday evening (we hadn't told them we were leaving after work). We spent Saturday at the Sault Ste.Marie Rotary Day Parade and Carnival. It was great and to say the crowds were minimal compared to any Toronto venue of the sore it an understatement. The parking was a breeze, we obtained a parking spot about 100 metres from the carnival grounds, this compared to Toronto is like night and day as most know who live here. The carnival grounds were huge and nobody was wedged together, it took place on the waterfront and this was such a great background to the whole experience. On Sunday we sadly left as the kids waved goodbye, they had plans, they were going with grandma and grandpa to the Sault Locks to feed the ducks and geese.

Ella started YMCA day camp yesterday and absolutely loved it. The only downside was Ethan was sad as he was too young to go to, but luckily he got lots of spoiling from grandma and grandpa which made up for it.

We will be off again next week up to the Sault for the August long weekend, thank goodness for extra holiday days during the summer so we can visit our kids we miss so much!

Have a great day!
Nathan

This week we are back to work and we plan again next week to head up for the August long
