It's been too long...

Well folks so much has happened since the last time I blogged...

I went to a family BBQ, which is always an interesting time. It was in honor of my great Uncle Jim who died last year. My Great aunt susie and her husband Butch were there, it was nice to see them. It's likely the last time that I will see my Great uncles before Ray, Joshua and I move. They have a tradition at this BBq they play RINGO. Which is basically tossing a metal ring into the hole, and you get points. When I was younger they used to play lawn darts. I guess RINGO is safer, nobody will be attacked by a lawn dart launched down the yard by one of their relatives that has inbibed in a little too much alcohol, distracted by their other relative who, when alcohol kicks in and the music is playing can't seem to keep their clothes on ... "hey mister DJ put a record on... I want to dance to the music..." Yeah, family get togethers... they are NEVER dull.

This picture is of my great uncles and aunt... my grandfather and my mom. My great uncles/aunt are my grandfather's brothers, and my mom was raised by her grandmother (deceased) and so was raised calling her uncles( my great uncles) brothers. Did you follow that?

Then the day after the bbq, we went on a church picnic thingy to Cobourg beach. The beach was packed... and I didn't think that we would find our group, but just when I was about to give up - there they were. Yippee! Joshua got to play with Daddy on the splash pad and then in the lake. I was a little nervous about letting Ray take him in LAke Ontario... he's just new... what if he came out with a sixth toe or something? Joshua loves the water. And I got some great pics.

My thanks goes to Kathy and Mike who graciously treated me to my favorite dessert... Ice cream! Thank you, you made my day!

From the beach we travelled to our friends house. Ange and Scott had us for dinner and we had so much fun taking wacky pics of our kids... They have little girl Madison. We had these Sausages with cheese in them... where did you buy those? They were great. And then Ange fed me more ice cream, yum yum, and on Scott's suggestion I put corn syrup over it - it was so good. I tried to add a pic, but I think maybe 3 is the max... I will add a post of just pics.

Anyway, we travelled to Windsor last week and found a house that we want to buy... Yeah! We have put an offer in on it and are just waiting to here back.

Ok I am going to make a new entry with just some pics... my kid is too cute, and so is Madison.
