Summer has begun and everyone is thrilled. No school deadlines to manage, and some fun experiences to anticipate, like celebratory get-aways and summer camps.
We arrived home last night from a very special celebration. My parents’ 60th wedding anniversary happened around the same time my brother and sister-in-law’s new house in the Okanagan Valley was completed. My parents treated us all to a trip out west so the two celebrations could collide into one truly wonderful moment in time. The generosity of both my parents and my brother and sister-in-law resulted in a vacation that produced great memories for my girls and me. What a fantastic way to start the summer!
The next collection of memories for the girls will be at Camp Trillium. This year, Cailyn will be a “Quester”, which means that she’ll be participating in workshops and learning about what it takes to lead camp activities. I’m thrilled that she gets this opportunity to appreciate what is required to create an amazing camp experience for someone else! Lauryn is also looking forward to her camp experience and I’m thankful she has the opportunity to connect with other siblings who understand what it feels like to be the “other” sibling.
While the girls are at camp, I will have my follow-up MRI. For the first time since my radiation treatment, I won’t get the results on the same day. Instead, I’ll head back to Toronto Western to learn the results a few days later. Here’s hoping everything remains stable!
I hope you all are enjoying a great start to your summer!
