And the summer wanes...

All i've learned lately is i sure suck at this blogging thing... But life is flying by, and my boys are growing up and i feel the need to claw at time and slow it down a little. But i can't, so at the very least i need to document at least a few of the things that flavour our days!
I have a 2 year old who speaks like a 12 year old and sounds like he smokes a pack a day. He likes to call us by our first names whenever he can get away with it. Here's some of our favourites lately:
Seeing his Uncle Derek for the first time in awhile (also uttered to his dad after he'd left the room for 5 minutes - 'It's great to see you again'
When asked by a fireman if he'd like to sit in the firetruck - 'I'll think about it'
While on a roadside stop this summer he started dancing with his shadow.
When his Opa's car alarm sounded - 'John, your car is beeping'.
He's counting to 10, it's terrifying and great. And the little man is rolling and smiling and giggling and has made me cry from happiness more than once, and i never cry!
We had the most perfect summer - great weather, all of us home together. We moved rocks, re-did the yard, expanded the deck, played at the cabin, roadtriped to northern bc, splash-parked, zoo-ed, read, played in fernie. It was amazing time together. We're sad it's over but are so grateful for the gift that it was!
so here it is, no pictures, nothing fancy, not what i envisioned, but something none the less. Hopefully the start of more!
