Sara and Jacob's Graduation (and a few other celebrations) (June 18, 2009)

Sara and Jacob graduated from Grade 8!! (It's a Canadian thing). Now they're ready for high school, even though the school year isn't finished yet.

We also celebrated Father's Day and Daniel's birthday, kind of.

Daniel with his birthday present I got him at the Red Wings game.

Jenn and Addy's Visit (June 15-16, 2009)

Jenn and Addy came to visit while Graham was away. We had some girl time and had lots of fun. First off, we took Addy swimming. Since our pool is extremely cold, due to the fact that the heater isn't working, we went over to Jill and Mike's. Addy loved the pool. The fact that the water was 90 degrees probably helped. She didn't want to get out, but who did?

The next day we went for a short visit to the Toledo Zoo.

We're going to the zooooooooooo! Addy is just too cute when she says zooooooooo!

We saw seals,

a polar bear playing with his toys,

giraffes

Addy trying to get a closer look.

Addy went for her first carousel ride too.

We saw a hippo

Then there were the elephants. Addy's favorite. She even had a snack with them.

A Sad Day in The D (June 11, 2009)

Well, this was supposed to be the post saved for the Red Wings Championship Parade, but we all know what happened there, so this is the best I can do. This is the poster that came in the programs we got at Game 1, along with my ticket, and the ribbons that I had in my hair that night (and the rest of the game nights). Here's hoping they can take it all the way next year.
