update

So I have decided that after 4 weeks of silence it is time to post again. Summer is coming to a close and it has been way to short.
My parents came out for 10 days in visit, we did a lot of sight seeing, hanging out a home and playing with the kids. My mom even got to see me teach a class or two so that was awesome. We also had Micah's third birthday party ( my babies are growing up, more about that later).
Micah's special chair



The cupcakes I made from scratch ( so proud!)

We have also spent a lot of time at the lake which has been way more fun this year than any other, I think that is because the kids are older and able to do more for them selves.
We have also had company over the summer keeping us hoping!

I was able to fly out to Winnipeg recently and spend two days with my family as well as Josh and Holly's new baby. While in Manitoba I caught Strep throat which put me out of commission for about 6 days, not ideal when you are a fitness instructor! My first class back I didn't think I would actually make it through.

That is all for now, my mind is consumed with the fact that Emmanuel is headed to kindergarten on Tuesday!
Hopefully will post more in depth later, not holding my breath though.

yay, you're still blogging, I'm glad! I have to ask, where did you get the butterflies that are on top of the cupcakes? Trinity has been talking about her birthday (which isn't until November) and butterflies was one of her ideas for a theme.

Micah's theme was Butterflies and pink, she was very specific and it drove my mom and I up the wall :)
We found the butterflies at a candy store in Banff, I think it was called Welsh Candy.
I can try and find the number for you to see if they have a store in Winnipeg or at least the same supplier as a store in Winnipeg.

Glad you had a good summer.Yuor children are getting so grown up. it is hard to believe that Emmanuel is entering kindergardten already.
You are doing very well Melanie in teaching as a fitness instructor. I have not commented about this but I have a feeling of pride in your accomplishment.
Shelagh have now been living on Vancouver Island for over a year, I moved in April 2008 but Shelagh did not move until July. Unfortunately we have not done any crabbing here for nearly a year. Last year we hired a boat and went salmon fishing with Matt.
More later.
Hopefully you will be feeling well soon from the Strep throat.
