My Quarterly Check In!






Hello everybody, I hope this finds you well. I have been harassed a great deal lately regarding my absenteeism from the blogger world. Shame on me!
A little update.........
Jenn is working at the hospital now and loving it...finally no more homework for her! I am very proud of her for making a decision to pursue something and going after it as well as sticking with it......that's my lady.
Parker is enjoying summer break and will be slipping into Grade One next year. So far this summer we have spent a fair amount of time swimming in the pool up at Nanny and Papa's.....it feels oh so good during the heat waves.
I got the opportunity to head out west last week to help out with the big forest fire at Tezla Lake. It was a great experience and I learned a bunch while out there. In my next posting I'll throw some pics up of the cool helicopters that were out on the fire.
Also, we recently purchased a camper and have managed to get away twice already, once down to Keefer Lake with Heather (turbo blogger) and Daley (he gets upset when I call hime that). That was good to see them and visit a new part of the province. The other adventure was last night out to Cuisson Lake for Steve's 30th Bday party. Good times, many beers, on both trips actually. Here are a few pics of the camping trips thus far. We are planning at least three more trips before Parker goes back to school then maybe a couple in the fall.

The beautiful fire pit at Cuisson kept us warm late into the evening.

Happy son......Happy Dad.

    I'm with heather on the falling off the chair thing!! I am still unsure why I click on your link...but I always do! Glad to see some new info on your lives!
    Camping looks great! We are missing out on lots of stuff living so far away!! Boo Hoo...
    Glad that Jenn's job is going well! I can't believe Parkie is going into Grade 1. I remember feeding him a bottle. Yikes.
