saying that we love to go to the cottage would be an understatement. we LOVE going to the cottage. it's the first place that davith didn't want to leave. as a true farm girl at heart, having kids has made me miss my country roots. we have often talked about moving to the outskirts of town & commuting in but with our line of work that just wouldn't do. so, the cottage has become our perfect compromise. it is an hour & a half from ottawa & peterborough {steve works in both places & family lives in peterborough}, easy to get to & already full of great memories. whenever steve travels down to peterborough, we often come to the cottage as kind of a base. and that's exactly what we did this weekend. the wilkins' grandparents came to keep me company while steve was in town. i think we spent the entire weekend outside. i love it when they come in at night with that great outdoors smell in their hair. it was fabulous. here's some picture of our frog/butterfly hunt for this edition of {small style}:

our first boat ride as a fam went great... until eva figured out how to use the handles on the back of the boy's life jackets! turns out you can have a timeout just about anywhere |

Oh yes, cottages and lakes are so refreshing and I know what you mean about the smell of outside in their hair! Mary
