The Water Rat

A few weeks ago we were invited to play at our friends' cottage in Caissie Cape. The water was as warm as a bath, shallow for quite a ways out, and Maaike had so much fun swimming on her own. Thanks to our friends for sharing their beautiful home away from home, a little piece of paradise I might add; and to our other friends for sharing their camera. It would have been awful to have missed out on these precious memories ... !!!

Look, Momma! I floating!

Collecting clam shells

Cooling off with popsicles

Sometimes it's not enough to just have your toes in the sand

All in all, a great day was had by all. Thanks again, Kate, Lauren, Mandi & Asher!

... they all fall down!

Enjoying a game of ring-around-the rosey with Gramma!

A Visit with the Zay Man

Remember Isaiah? He's the little guy who stayed with us for 6 weeks in the Spring of 2009 while his parents were away with their jobs. Well, fate has intervened and the Ike and Zay show is making a come-back. The Grants are posted to Gagetown, just a short drive from Moncton! So we get to hang out with our friends, and Maaike and Isaiah are getting reacquainted at a stage when they're actually wanting to play together rather than just in the same room.

It's awesome to have y'all back, guys. We've missed you ...
