Thursday already. I can't believe that Stan and Shirley have been gone for two days. We had such a wonderful visit. So fun and easy. The boys loved having them here, as did we.
The roofers are getting started in the next week or so, so I am not so anxiously waiting for the sound of construction at 7:30am. Oh well, a new roof for the cost of a deductible is money well spent.
Today we found ourselves at the orthodontist for Sterling's monthly appointment. He had a track that had come loose and he didn't even know. Also, two of his other teeth had come in far enough for him to get two more tracks put on. Dr. Pong says not too much longer before the bottoms ones get put on. He will have had his braces 1 year in October. Man, time has gone by fast.
After the ortho we headed up to the library so Kaedo could do his final book report of the summer. They have read and reported enough to get an invitation for an end of summer party at the library, so that is fun. Once we got home they went out for a walk to Zellers and Dollarama and then came back here and played in the pool for an hour. They have just asked what their daily chore is and have headed downstairs into the cool basement to watch some TV.
Craig is working from home tomorrow and then the weekend will be upon us. Looking forward to that.
Also looking forward to the next round of company coming to visit. Jessica (Ken - maybe) and family and mom and dad. So looking forward to seeing everyone and getting my hands on my cutie nieces.

We're home safe and sound once again. THANKS FOR A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY!! We had a great time and it went by way too fast. We arrived in Regina around 10:00 p.m. (which in Toronto is 12:00!) - a very long day. Also, a very early morning. My appt. for my bone density test was for 7:15 a.m. and we had to be at the hospital 1/2 hour before. Bill offered to drive us there and Stan & Bill went for coffee in the cafeteria while I waited to have test done. I was all done by 7:25 a.m. and we were on our way back to the Greenbanks. We had a fun day with them and to bed by 10:00 p.m. and I didn't open my eyes till 8:00 a.m. We were on the road by 10:00 a.m. and arrived home around 1:00 p.m. I talked to Kaeden & Sterling to let them know we arrived home and Kaeden said - did you just get home now? Got unpacked and started laundry - probably will be doing it for a few days. Thanks again for everything - LOVE MY 60TH BIRTHDAY BOOK SHANNON!!!! Also, thanks for the picture & frame and cards. Talk to you soon. BIG HUGS TO ALL!!

Glad your summer is going so well and that Grandma and Grandpa got home safe and sound. We are looking very forward to our few days with you all. We've got everything reserved and confirmed, so all we have to do is get there. It will be a short trip but we know it will be so very enjoyable.

Love to all
