How's that for a sandwich? Kaedo loves my toasted sandwiches and it's fun making a "semi dagwood" for him. Looks good, doesn't it? While I make these sandwiches for Kaedo every day, Sterling's lunch is not near as exciting. He eats Kraft Dinner for lunch EVERYDAY! That's what he loves, so why not.


Today's picture's of the cuties. Not too much going on here today. We got up and went for a bike ride this morning and then the boys will just be hanging out this afternoon. They may have friends over tonight but who knows. Only two days left of summer vacation. Can't believe how quickly it has gone by. Sterling is very excited to get back to school but Kaedo not so much.
Right now the boys are in different parts of the house talking to each other on their walkie talkies. They've decided to take a trip down to Dollarama for more caps for their cap guns (no, I don't need any "I thought you didn't let them play with guns" comments).
Just to "toot" Craig's horn (that sounds a little dirty, doesn't it?), he got picked in the first round of his football draft. Very impressive. He is a very good player and puts his whole heart into it. He starts on Sept 12 and the boys start bowling that day. Should be busy. Looking forward to getting back into the swing of regular life.
Finally - thanks for all the well wishes. The singing was great - Jessica, I am always impressed by how many songs you know - awesome! Mom - thanks for the 8:30am call. Stan and Shirley, thank you for the well wishes. You are all good role models for good marriages, so thank you. We love you all and surely couldn't have made it these 14 years without your help. They say it takes a village to raise a child, but I think it takes good role models to make a marriage work. We have learned not to give up and to work hard to keep our marriage working. Thank you.

You can toot my horn anytime ;) But as for football, the first round thing is not completely accurate but instead one of many intricacies of the draft which I will not get into, but thanks for making me sound better than I am Shannon, what a great wife!

Sandwich looks delicious!!! The boys look gorgeous! Have fun on the last two days of your holidays boys - then the real fun begins.

I went Line Dancing Tuesday and today and it feels so good to get back into it. I took it easy when it came to the fast ones and just stood watching when I felt I couldn't do it but the brain remembered quite a few of the steps. We worked around the yard today and now Stan has gone up to Jean & Lionel's to help hang some doors and I'm heading to the movies with 5 other woman - Julie & Julia.

Congrats Craig - good luck and BE CAREFUL!! Just old mom's advice and it never quits.

Love you all lots - BIG HUGS TO ALL!

Congrats Craig, you're such a star.!!??? Really, when you get down to it, when you love it as much as you do, it doesn't matter how well you play. We're just glad to be able to boast that our son-in-law is a great football player.

good luck with bowling boys. I loved to come and watch it last year and hope to see you both play on the Saturday that we're there. Hope birthday lunch isn't to early.

Jessica and the girls came for supper. It was great having them. Stress level is down a little as the financial statement finally got finalized. Nothing stupider than re-programming mid month. I guess it's a guy thing. Got another month to figure out the rest of the mess.

Weather is great, long weekend is busy so all is well in the world.

Love to all

This should not surprise Craig, but your anniversary honestly slipped by our reminders. Sorry, but par for the course for me!!!! Happy belated anniversary! It is hard to believe how fast time flies - it only seems like a little while ago we were roasting inthe backyard at a wedding ceremony. Anyway, many happy more years.

Other notes: good luck in football Craig, have a good school year boys (lucky guys to be still on holidays), Shannon wish you energy to keep that family at all their activities!
