My goodness it has been a busy summer! We have been having a blast and haven't slowed down since PEI. I am starting to look forward to those lazy fall days and returning to a routine. Although our 'routine' is about to change abruptly with Adrian starting kindergarten in a week. I can't wait to report about the big day. He seems to be feeling quite positive about it. I think he is ready for the challenge. The real one having problems is me! Adrian is done at the Preschool Center on Wednesday. We have had three great years there and I have really watched him blossom there. Vivian is still there and it moving up to the 2/3s room on Thursday and will have a whole new circle of friends. She is quite a little social butterfly so I am sure she will enjoy it.
The summer has been filled with activity -- too much to even try to summerize in a blog entry. Every weekend we have one or two things planned and I try to fit in something fun after work as well. Below are a few pictures to give you an idea of what we have been up to...
 |
| Vivian is officially in her big girl bed. The crib is a thing of the past. She went straight to a double bed and never looked back. |
 |
| We had a great Beek family reunion in Doaktown will all much of Jamie's family from out west and MA. The kids loved all of the attention and all of the candy they got from the parade of lights that night. Thanks for this lovely picture Adina! |
 |
| We had a fun visit to the zoo near Uncle Brian's and Aunt Tracey's house. It was hot if you can't tell by our flustered faces. |
 |
| Vivian was very careful not put her fingers near the cage. She wasn't chacing a duck taking a finger off. |
 |
| Adrian, Vivian and Grampy U are buliding a camp in the woods behing my parents house. What a fun memory for them to have. |
 |
| You don't want to meet these scary pirates on the high sea! |
 |
| Whale watching in St Andrews. It turned out to be sunny but we didn't see many whales. |
 |
| Looking for the whale with Uncle Brian and Grampy. |
 |
| Adrian's 5th Birthday. *sigh* He loved presents this year for the first time ever. |
 |
| Ice cream and cake with his BFF Abby. They have been pals since birth pretty much. |
 |
| Blowing out the candles. What a great party it was. All of the kids were so good. |
