This summer, so far...

We as a family are having fun!! I feel very blessed because my parents are teachers. I live in Canada and they live in the US in Washington DC. They enjoy coming to Canada in the summer and love to spend time with all of us. When I mean all of us, I mean my family and I and also my siblings. There are 2 of us here in Canada. My husband and I have 2 sons and my brother has a daughter. So, we all enjoy each others company up at the cottage just north of Toronto. The cottage is only a block and a half from the beach. So, we usually spend all day at the beach with a break of an hour for lunch. Although this summer has been quite cold so we don't spend as much time at the beach but we go hiking and bike riding instead! I am now a stay at home mom with a couple of home businesses so my parents have taken the children to give us a break and to spend some time with their grandchildren! They love it !! In the meantime, on weekends, I make time to visit with them! I hope everyone else is enjoying their summer!!
