summer stories

Every summer has its stories and I feel like we are writing some lovely ones. Summer 2014; one for the books. The weather - grand, the kids - delightful and having Cody off for weekends - priceless. Since the sale of Terra Nova our family has transformed. Cody quite literally worked seven days a week and when he wasn't at work he was still very much on, distracted. He's a new man. And the three of us are in love with him. So far we've park'd it, splash park'd it, beach'd it, pool'd it, bbq'd it, grand parent'd it, craft'd the hell out it and tomorrow we're joining our friends' to cottage it and soon we'll be camping it. 

I am very very thankful. 

Presently Elliott is at a birthday party. He was so excited to see his friends from school again.  He talked about the birthday boy Damian all afternoon yesterday. The best line, "Mama, I actually like Damian now."  I guess distance does make the heart grow fonder and just in time to celebrate.

Shout it out Elliott - yahoo summer!

Some good news: our beautiful home renovation is very nearly complete.  I just have to screw up the courage to hang some art.  I'm so in love with the perfect walls that I fear making mistakes.

More good news: my sister's family have booked their tickets and they arrive in nine days for like ten days. My liver already aches.

Mucho love! CAKE
