Farewell Summer...Hello School!

The last few weeks have been a whirlwind around Kaasa's crib. We thoroughly packed our summer with vacations, visitors, family & friends. We feel very lucky to have enjoyed a beautiful summer traveling across Canada and exploring this gorgeous country. A quick summary in photos below and don't miss Henry's two year photo gallery at the bottom.


Henry and his buddy, George, at the Blue Jays game in July. The boys were featured on the jumbo tron!

Celebrating Dad's 65th birthday at a lake house in Muskoka. Nate & Mae flew in from Hawaii for the occassion and stayed with us, in Toronto, a few days after.

When we weren't on a plane, train or in an automobile most of summer was spent at the beach or splash pad. Henry and Cole at Kew Park and a perfect afternoon at Woodbine beach with Jake.

Long weekend in Montreal with Jeff & Aimee Hurdle. Group shot in front of Notre Dame; the tandem bikes were definitely the highight of the trip! (Especially for me as Mark did most of the pedaling!)

Over Labor Day weekend we split up and went separate ways. Mark flew to Atlanta for some much-needed "guy time" and family time, while Henry and Tara went to Michigan. We visited with Great Gram and shared lots of laughs and smiles.

Henry's first day of school...Dada came home early to walk Henry to school and see him off. He did great and didn't even look back to say goodbye as he ran in the door to greet his teachers. The only tears shed that day were Mama's.

Friday after school sweet treat for our sweet little boy.

As we say good-bye to summer we are so thankful for all the time we had to visit friends and family the past few months. Between Vancouver, Whistler, Muskoka and Montreal we've experienced so many wonderful places and sharing the time with friends and family is so special.

I find myself asking this question a lot lately..."How did our tiny baby get so big so fast?" Click here to view Henry's Two Year Photos.
