We are just heading into August and I thought it would be a good time to catch everyone up on the happenings of the Alberta Lynch's. Sorry, but as our camera is broken, yet again, so we haven't posted any pictures. (Only Ken's IPhone to take pics).
The begining of summer started with a round of the chicken pox for the two boys. They each had enough spots to know they had the chicken pox, but not enough to slow them down. We did confine them to the house, and backyard to play, so our neighborhood friends would not catch them as well. Unfortunately, we were not able to attend Grandpa Moores 60th Birthday party, as we didn't want to spread this to our young cousin Stanley.
Our Nana and Gramps Shortt came out this summer and spent two weeks visiting us most days and evenings. It was great to spend time working on Family History together, going shopping, hanging out, or out fishing. The creek is still really high from all the rain we had earlier this spring, so we struggled with catching much fish, but we did have fun trying.
Adrain also turned 5 at the beginning of summer. He was excited to have extra family here. (As Nana and Gramps Shortt were here too). We planned to have a party at the school park, but the day of the party turned out to have 60-80km hour winds, so we changed the location to Grandpa and Nana Moore's side yard where it was sheltered from the wind. We where grateful to have friends (Hamiltons) and family willing to all pitch in, so we could serve "Salad in a Bag" (Leave a comment, and I'll send anyone instructions for the easy and delicious picnic meal). We had cake (that wasn't soo good), and openned presents, then the kids ran across the street to the school park to play.
Dad is working at Evergreen Golf Club, repairing Go-carts and other landscaping equipment. He is only working part-time, but has enjoyed the work and looks forward to each new challenge or project. With only 24 hours of work a week, things are very tight here. Dad has begain to look for another part or full time job, and Mom is preparing to return to the working world in the fall.
All the kids will be in school come September. Adrian will be attending afternoon four days a week, and every other Friday after November 1. Mom is starting to watch the sales flyers and try to pick up cheap school supplies here and there. We will all be starting our school time bedtimes again this month to get in the habit of getting up early, eating breakfast, and being all dressed and ready to be out the door before school starts.... 8:15ish, we guess.
I will post more the next few days.

It's "tacos in a bag" or "walking tacos"... not salad in a bag
