The rain seems to have finally let up and has been replaced by scorching, relentless, stifling heat. I am not complaining, merely observing with the use of non-positive adjectives.
Some truly positive notes...
Well, I passed the course I was taking. Lets just say I am lucky to have such thick skin on my teeth...
I ran the half marathon at
National Capital Race Weekend (that's 21km for you non-runners out there). The temperature that day was 27C, so I was very pleased not to be one of the poor bastards being assisted by a medic half way to the finish line. When Nicholas asked me what place I came in I think he was very unimpressed by my answer, "2168th".
Simon had an encounter with the pavement again last week resulting in a large welt on the side of his head and a black eye for a few days. To mend his spirits he got a tour of one of the firetrucks that was parked on our block for an evening.
Nicholas's soccer season has been incident free, I am pleased to report. Some wins, some non-wins, lots and lots and lots of gas consumed (by the van).
Elizabeth has an official forst word. Doggie. We are all suitable pleased. Morely is very proud.
Our very good friend Jackie has started her own photography company recently. She has asked me to pass along her info to anyone who may be interested. Here's a sample of the pics she took of our kids, but her website is much more extensive. Give her a call, you won't be disappointed!
