Maia's Birthday


Our little girl is 3!

We just had a small party to celebrate Maia's 3rd birthday - I'm not doing the kid chaos yet with her for another year or two. Just her family and her honorary aunts and uncles for now.

She had a great time and got lots of wonderful presents (it was a sea of pink). She wanted a Hello Kitty party and so it was a day chock-full of Hello Kitty stuff, too.

Vacation

Ahhh...vacation. That word alone just relaxes me and brings my blood pressure down several points. The only down-side is there just aren't enough of them.

We spent a fabulous week up in Orillia, Ontario at a place called Fern Resort. It's an all-inclusive family-oriented resort on the shores of Lake Couchiching. It was a full week of being pampered and fed like royalty!

Just do me one favor: Pleeeeease don't say "Oh, it's like the place in Dirty Dancing!" [shudder] Think of it more like taking a cruise that stays in the same spot.

The kids have so much fun and we do as well. The days are just packed. Each day there's a sheet full of activities for the kids and adults and you can be as busy or as lazy as you like (the hammocks are very comfy). It was heavenly.

We took so many pictures there's no way to post them all here or even narrow it down to just a few. So I'm just going to link to the online photo album.

Catching up...again

I have a lot of catching up to do. Not like that's anything new.

Three big things I need to post about are our vacation to Fern, Maia's birthday and Chance's first day at school. All of which deserve nice big juicy posts of their own. All of which require a tad more time than I seem to have these days.

Stay tuned!
