ice cream stop on a warm summer night

we have pigtails going on at our house. ida's hair is now long enough to wrestle into a hairdo. it's kind of fun and it's kind of cute. lately i find her walking around the house in variety of shoes, the ones in the picture happen to be mine. sometimes it's c.j.'s runners or eli's church shoes or if you are visiting our house it will be your shoes! how fun!

summer is almost at it's 1/2 way point. i feel like it has been a solid summer so far. hit a reunion, some babies were born, plenty of time at the cabin... this second half will be full of good times. the dave and lisa saunders family are coming back to calgary for a visit. it will be fun for the calgary cousins to reunite with audrey, carter and brady. brady?!? the kids don't even know him! he better be ready for some heavy duty play time, OH YAAA.

the end of august is always a bit busy with prepping for school it seems. we have some doctor and dentist appointments booked. ida's 18 month immunizations and eli's teeth need a cleaning so we will get that taken care of. luckily i have alleviated one big fat stressor: school shopping for mr. grade 3. let it be known, IT IS DONE. did it last week, hit a sale, done like dinner. you won't see me rushing around the beginning of september looking for indoor shoes and lunch kits. no way, no how. kind of happy about that. it will be a smooth transition from the lazy days of summer back into the early morning starts of school.

o.k., back to summer, it's not over yet.

Cute pigtails, how adorable is she. I just want to jump in my computer and squeeze her and Eli tight. Can stand not to see her more. Eli looks good too and love him so much. Miss you guys, love you all.
