Happy Independence Day!!!! (July 3-5, 2009)

For the 4th of July weekend, I went over to Chautauqua for the weekend to celebrate the holiday with family. Unfortunately, Jay was still on the boat, although the evening of the 4th, they went by Sarnia/Port Huron and spent most of the evening in the St Clair River/Lake St Clair.

Here's Indy doing her celebrating

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.
