A short ketchup:

Went to Wolfe Island at the end of July to celebrate dad’s 70th.  It was such a nice visit. Not enough to time to see a fraction of the people I needed and wanted to see but enough to get the word out that I was there and that I love them!  Got to see Mandy and her family, Lori, Muffy and Paige and Tate, Cathy and Ruby, Andrew and Geoff their families and mom Dianne…..I need to go back soon. Miss it.

Jani and the kids had a wonderful trip to Hungary.  All the family and friends got together to celebrate Jani’s 40th birthday. Many family members took turns shuffling the kids around to different places and entertaining them.

Rowan had a great birthday.  Who said he could turn 6? At the end of the day, I asked him what his favorite part of the day was ” all of it!’ he replied without hesitating.  So darn adorable. And seems to be liking 1st grade all right. Whew!

Encsi is a little girl now. No more baby.  And all daddys. Fortunately, she looks a little more like mommy !!!!

As for me, busy is an understatement. I can’t believe it is going to October later this week. Paper resubmission due this week, grant due 10/16, going to Cabo for Girish and Brenda’s wedding 10/7-12. Khaled and Mervie will be there, Neil and Sajel, Lou,…..can’t wait!  Jani and I REALLY need this break together.

OK the rest of  this is going to be visual. Oh, and remember I said no time for Facebook. Yeah. I bit that one too.
