Today’s picture of the day is of Violet and Melissa as they walk to Violet’s pre-school beginning of the year BBQ. She was so excited to meet the kids who will be in her pre-school class with her. Of course I’m not sure Violet realizes that it’ll be another week or two before her school starts.
Jacob has headed out camping with Nana and Papa so we’re having a special weekend with Violet. From trips to the pool with daddy, lunch out with Nan. We capped off the day with dinner out with Mommy, and while there I capture today’s picture of the day.
This evening we had a board meeting, and after words I brought home a little treat for my little ones. Is it wrong to have Donuts for breakfast? Or should I wait till after lunch to give the kids there treat?
Another day working from home with the kids, with an unexpected trip into my office. While on the way back I capture this picture of the kids, resting after climbing up a long flight of stairs.

Today was a work from home day, which allowed the family to head out to th 5pm family swim at the local out-door pool. I captured today’s picture of the day as we were heading out. It seems strange that it might be the last time the family heads down there for a swim till next summer.

Today we headed out to a family gathering in Fenelon Falls. It’s been a great day, but we brought the good camera and all my pictures are on it and my computer is at home. So for my picture of the day today is of the campfire we sat around at the end of a great day of family, friends and food.
Today our little family headed out for our annual trip to the Ex. It was looking like we wouldn’t be able to make. With our weekends booked for the rest of the summer. But this afternoon the stars aligned and we headed out to have a family day at the fair. Even though we didn’t go down till the afternoon, it was long day, and I find myself not up to sorting through the 300+ pictures to do a real post. So here is one of the last pictures we took tonight, of Violet and Jacob enjoying their final snack of the day, under the glow of the fairs wheel lights.
This morning the family walked over to the Mastercard Centre for Hockey Excellence for Jacob’s Hockey camp. I captured this picture of Jacob and violet walking together, before heading off to work for the day. I can’t believe tomorrow is the last day of camp. I wonder when the hockey season starts in the fall?
