Work, work, work...

We have been working like crazy trying to get our house ready to rent while we are away. Painting and kitchen renovations are taking up much of our time right now. The boys have been playing a little hockey to get back on their skates and are busy practicing piano in prep for their exams in less than a month. Mom is working for the next few weeks and Dad is going nuts with plumbing and various other unexpected delays. Much still to be done.

We're going...

We have finally booked our tickets!!! We will be going from TO the second week of September and will fly to Sweden's capital. Much to do in the mean time - the kitchen is torn apart and half painted. We will begin on the new floor tomorrow. Lots of rain here at least means we are not tempted by other summer pursuits. Having fun in our "outdoor kitchen" under a tarp on the back deck. We are finding the BBQ much more useful than previously believed: made pancakes this morning.

Testing, testing...
