It’s been over a month since my last update!  We’ve had a wonderful summer—can’t believe it’s Back to School next week.  We’ve just returned from a blissful two weeks in the Canadian wilderness visiting Grandma and Grandpa.  I’ve posted lots of pictures below from our lovely visit to the Lake of the Woods in northern Ontario.
