Second Week of August

More summer, more fun, more friends...that pretty much sums up the second week of August for us.  I'm pressed for time at the moment, so my usual wordiness will be squelched today and the pictures will have to tell the rest.


Off comes the old roof and on goes the new one.  Needless to say, having a metal roof removed and replaced is a very noisy procedure, but Kai loved watching the guys at work and even napped through the chaos in the afternoons.


The artist/craftsman who works here took all of our old metal roof and is going to re-use it for future art projects!  His studio (above) happens to be just down the road from our house.  I love that our old, shabby roof will have a new and more beautiful life.


Inside the studio.

My big helper!


"Aunty" Rae Rae came to visit, and here we are hanging out in Garfield Bay.


Friends took us to a new beach on Lake Pend Oreille - Talache Beach.  It was beautiful!

Good old beach fun.  We're trying to make the most of these kinds of days before they end.


Kody came to visit all the way from Colorado, and Kai "helped" him connect the electrical to our shed.



The trench is filled in and our shed is now complete!

We took Kody out to one of our favourite places on the lake - Green Bay - to BBQ and swim.


And of course we went to Joel's for a breakfast burrito on Saturday morning.

And visited Evan's Brother's Coffee where Kai got a yummy sucker.

And, enjoyed sidewalk chalk at the Waldorf School booth.

Another friend turns 2!
(I forgot Kai's swimsuit, so excuse the speedo-looking diaper attire!)


Kai loves Sophie's pink car :)


Yum!  Cake and homemade ice-cream.  A great way to end a great week.

Jane and I loved the new pictures! Jane thought it was funny to see Kody with Kai. :) She can't wait to see Kai again. So excited it will be more often now!
