july 2012

 

july was a busy month at the dunnington household...

haying, etc for curtis

classes, writing papers, reading, mommy duties ;), etc for me

playing, discovering, and learning for thomas

 

 

i was able to capture this beautiful photo on a gorgeous summer evening...

 

 

 

even though our month was pretty busy, thomas and i were pretty fortunate to find some time to go to the lake! we were able to go for a few nights here and there during the 2 weeks gpa & gma were booked in at the lake.

thomas slept in a tent for the first time, went for his first boat ride, went to the beach for the first time...a lot of firsts!!!!!

 

 

summer at the landing...

during our first stay at the lake, we enjoyed some time with caryn & addy, and brad & lois & boys!

 



 

 

 

i'm sure the boys will love me for posting this one!!! ha ha

celebrating august birthdays early!

a visit out east...

early wed morning (june 20), we drove to regina to catch a plane to Montreal. we then spent a few days with mat & shell & co. we had a great time and it was fun to be with them!

curtis had a business convention in Montreal from June 25-28.  he went in to Montreal sunday night and i stayed a bit longer with the Maders.  mat & shell took thomas and i in on tuesday. it was fun to spend some time in Montreal, but it wasn't too much fun as thomas was sick.

there are lots of pics here...
