So the month of August has come and gone and with it's passing signifies the beginning of school for another year. I can't say that this summer was not full of adventures, even though we didn't go anywhere. Dominic kept us moving and active, as sitting around the house for too long lead to a grumpy little kid, so it was just easier to take him to the park lots. Although Liam slept for over two thirds of the summer, his three hour eat-sleep schedule kept us busy for no real good reason. And as with any house, there is always one more task to fill up some time.We did get away for a bit, all in August which should explain the lack of posts this month. A few
weeks ago we spent some family time in Edmonton and to the horror of his Grandmas, Dom was about Grandpa George and Grandpa Bill (Uncle Jeremy did get a little bit of love to). This was also about the time that Liam started to smile and coo. It's amazing how this little bit of interaction conveys so many emotions. Oh yeah, and Dominic and Tracy's first visits to West Edmonton Mall as tourists.
A couple of days at home followed (to do laundry) and then off to Canmore. I had a video-conferencing conference there and Tracy Dominic, and Liam came along for the ride. I think that everybody had fun even though we didn't make it out and about too much. Also, just because a restaurant says that you can bring a stroller in, doesn't mean that their menu is kid friendly! All kidding aside, Canmore has some great restaurants and it's too bad a guy couldn't afford to sample more of them.
Finally, we spent this past long weekend in Fairmont with Susan and Nick, Krista, Doug, Ben, Braden, and Claire, and Barry and Michelle. It was a great time, topped off with some time in the hot pools, some time in the hot tub, a fire and some roasted marshmallows, some geocaching, and a chance meeting with a cougar (sorry Krista!). Overall it was a great weekend spent with our friends. A really nice way to end the summer!
