My poor blog has been seriously ignored. A lot has been going on, and a lot is still the same.
First big change is we are now a household of three. Our oldest 2 have moved out to start their own lives. How dare they! Hehe. I wasn't prepared or ready for that and Ashton got married last summer (blog post to follow). So it's just Jason, me and Cadence at home - and Daisy of course. We also quite often have my mom with us, which we enjoy. She unfortunately has been battling cancer this past year and when she comes to Calgary for treatments she stays with us. I've become her treatment sidekick, driver, assistant and short order cook, and I am so grateful I live here so that I am able to help her. I treasure the time we spend together.

Summer has flown by so quickly. We didn't get up to much other than some swimming, fun with friends, and a week at the farm with Rachel's family (blog post to follow), some theatre, and eating out.
Cadence started back to school this week. I can't believe she is going into Grade 7. My little girl is growing up so fast.

I start teaching music again next week. I've enjoyed my summer off, but have been definitely missing the income. I've got 40 students this year so it should keep me busy. I'll need to try and stay organized. Especially with meals. That really is the hardest thing - to figure out what to feed us all every night when I'm busy with students. Lots of crock pot dinners probably. I am going to assign Cadence one night a week to cook too. She enjoys it, and does a good job.
Jason is busy at work. His new job with Astro Dental Art was a great move for him and he is enjoying the challenges, even though he is still as busy. Ashton also started working at Astro and has been doing a great job. We'll see how long he wants to work in the same field as his dad, or if he goes back to school.
I hope to do a bit better with my blog posts going forward. No promises - but I'll try.
