The next weekend was our last Saturday at Harold and Kara's cottage for the summer. :( We are so thankful that they allow us to share in their summer fun!
For Labor Day we got some small projects done around the house, relaxed, and went to my parent's for supper. Labor Day is a much appreciated holiday here as it marks the halfway point of celery harvest.
Last Wednesday we went and picked out our new Golden Retriever! We have been on a waiting list since April (who knew it was so hard to get a dog...), and it was finally our turn. We had six females to choose from - they were all so stinkin' cute. Mike felt partial to one, so we went with that one. She'll be old enough to come home with us in one week! We're all getting pretty excited over here. Things with Pixie have been so-so. At the moment I'm slightly more on the side of making things work rather than finding her a new home, but who knows, that could change. :)
Saturday we went canoeing with Harold & Kara and family, Dave & Vonda, and some of the Koning's. It was a beautiful day! I wish I had some photos, but didn't risk taking my phone on the river. :) Most of the time Levi was in Mike and I's canoe, Caleb and Logan were in Harold's canoe. Caleb and Logan did each take a turn riding in Vonda's kayak. We saw tons of turtles out sunbathing.
Lately I've been busy getting clothes, baby stuff, etc. ready to sell. We have TOO MUCH STUFF. I'm so sick of it!
Poor Levi has come down with a cold. I guess even though my kids aren't in school, the fact that other kids started school last week means that my kids are going to start getting sick. :( It was such a nice, healthy summer here!
Tonight Caleb and Logan start back up with our church's Wednesday night Word of Life program - we decided to request they be in different classes this year, it will be interesting to see how that goes! Thought this would be a nice way to give it a try since they're familiar with Word of Life, and it's just a once a week thing for a short period of time. And, they'll still see each other during song/story time. We were telling them about it last night, and so far they seem fine, although Caleb has said a few times that he's going to miss Logan. It's not surprising that he might be the one that has a harder time with it, given his homesickness when we were in WV, and just his general sensitivity (even though he acts like tough guy).
I SO WISH I could have a camera running all the time! Just to hear the things Levi says at this age are my favorite. I can't remember what types of things Caleb and Logan said at this age like I wish I could. Last week the boys and I watched some "old" movie clips of them that I have on the computer - there was one of Logan holding Levi as a newborn that was especially funny. Why didn't I record them more?!?! After watching that I did sit the boys down and do a little interview time - I'll have to get that uploaded and on the blog. :)
