July 7, 2004

"Summertime and the livin' is easy....."
One of my favourite songs describes what summer should be but thus far it has been a lot work. The last few weeks of school were very busy and now I am trying to put things right. I have wonderful friends that come to my rescue whenever I "Fall off the wagon". The wagon I am referring to is the housework and everyday routine of life.

Carter and Dad are at camp. Mom and the 3 amigos are at home.
Swimming, biking, reading, cleaning, internet surfing, eating and of course sleeping are the weekly activities. We look forward to our upcoming activities away from home.

We have a new addition to our family.....a pet guinea pig. Quiggly is her name and she has been introduced to all the neighbourhood friends and visitors. She is black and white. She likes to hide in her igloo hut. When we first got her she was shedding a lot of hair now she sheds only a little bit.

The 3 school boys successfully completed another year of school. They will all be moving on to the next grade. For Carter, grade 8, this means he will be going to the big school-NISS. Dexter, grade 5, he will get to go to Camp Homewood. He can hardly wait for his trumpet to arrive so he can start playing. Hyrum, grade 3, a wonderful time for learning and exploring.

Alick has one more year at home before he starts Kindergarten. He talks a whole lot and likes to go to places. We usually go to the Parent and Tots time for 1 morning, Storytime at the library, and swimming in Port Hardy(a couple times a month). Other times we visit friends or the school.

And that's all for this edition of the Neilson Nephews News. Join us next time when we tell you about our town.
