Busy Summer

Wow - sorry for the delayed posts.  We've been crazy busy in our house.  Everything from travelling, weddings, weekends up at the cabin, baby showers, BBQ's with family and friends and many beach days, this is my favourite time of the year and we want to fit in as much as possible.

Lately, Nate and I have been hosting a ton at our pad.  We even have guests over on week nights.  Last night (Monday) my family came over for a massive BBQ.  Even though I taught a BodyStep class from 6-7pm, they still came over food in hand (including dessert) and played with Scarlet until I got home.  She is LUCKY to have such awesome uncles and a wonderful auntie.  She also has some amazing little cousins - Emma and Alex from London England.  Nate's sister Robin came over for 5 weeks with her two adorable little daughters and we just loved every single second with them.  I should say that Scarlet was totally enamored with these two sweeties.  She watched every move that they made and loved all their kisses and cuddles.  It was such a treat having these girls here and we even were lucky enough to get some adorable hand-me-downs in the process.

Emma, Scarlet, Grammy Weiland (Nate's Mom) and Alex.

In other news, Nate has finished building the first level of our patio in the back and it now holds our BBQ and a little bistro set.  I'm going to hold off posting pics of it until we have some nice patio furniture, a few more trees and the weeds wacked in our backyard...so wait fro them to be posted next summer.  haha.  This is just a fun pic with one of the many groups of friends we had over this summer. Note:  Patio not in view until it's done ;)

Laura, Ted, Jack, Dan, Ali, Mark, Nate and I.  (Scarlet was upstairs snoring).

We're loving this hot hot weather and hope that it continues well into September.  I LOVE SUMMER THE BEST!
