Welcome Summer!

It really is summer, and if you have a doubt, I give you this picture of Nora in her kiddy pool at Grammy's.
To mark the solstice, Jason and I took turns running outside during a 3 minute window to watch the progress of the space station and shuttle orbiting across our sky (Nora was inside sleeping, hence the tag team relay). We didn't take any pictures because we're not good with night pictures and it just really looked like two stars moving slowly across the sky in tandem which wouldn't look like much in a picture, but was nevertheless pretty cool to the two of us. They will be visible again tonight. Here's the link where you can check out shuttle/space station /satellite spottings

I love the new Norapics and the pool looks wonderful. We've been searching for one here, but it seems that Toys R Us mainly has these monstrous-sized 5' diameter plastic beastie things, and we're looking for something a little smaller (after all the basement is already filling up with crap). Nora looks like she's really enjoying herself.

In typical Canadian weather...it's about 65 degrees here, with a gusty, blowing wind. It feels pretty good, though. :)
