Catching Up - August

The kids have been using my old camera since Christmas or so. A few weeks ago, the lens retractor got broken, so I set it aside and pulled the photos off it. About 800 pictures - lots of blurry photos of toy cars, of course. But a few I quite liked - I think Lizzie gets the probable credit on these:

Big brother is missing a few teeth:




Harriet, coming up on 10 years old:

Wimsey, a venerable 16:


And Teddy. During "nap" time. Sigh.



Finally, August photos:


 








First day of first grade! So grown up!






At Spencer's first soccer game, I didn't have an easy time watching the soccer, because these two were at the other end of the field:




But even if I couldn't watch much, The Stinger Bees won:

In early July, we loaded up the mini-van and headed to Kingston, Ontario. The kids travelled reasonably well, all things considered.

At a rest stop (a mall, actually) on on the way:

In the backyard, hockey and lacrosse seemed to be the favorites:

At the Springbrook house - we pulled fresh potatoes and peas and had them for dinner!

At the Frankfort splash pad:








And at various parks, in Belleville and Kingston:
