And the fall brings...

Okay, into September we go and we're all abuzz as we prepare for Grandma and Grandpa Dempster's visit. This is their first visit to the East Coast so we're ready to put on our tour guide hats and show them everything they need to see in four short days. We didn't do too bad and even had mum and dad eat lobster. Yes, it is hard to believe they both grew up on an island and have never eaten lobster.

jump up and snap you...or is it?

to someone, somewhere.

Photo: It brings tears to your eyes just knowing your mum and dad have been where people like Kelly and Diana have become so liquored up, they hardly remember leaving (no, not me).

First Days

As much as we loved our summer, September brought with it some excitement. Grant was starting his first day of school and Ashley was entering Grade 3. I think big sister was quite excited to have her little brother riding along beside her on the bus. Grant wasn't looking forward to having to go to school "all day and every day". I think his response was something like, "Oh man, that's gonna be terrible."
