Dog days of summer
Unfortunately the weather this summer has left a lot to be desired. It's still been a busy fun-filled few months though!
Luigi and I spent the first week of July at a cottage on Fairy Lake in Huntsville. It was on top of a boathouse and as close to the water as you could possibly get. We had a very relaxing week and look forward to going back next year.
Also in July, the Hayes ladies welcomed Mona to the family. We started with a shower at my house in the afternoon and then took a limo ride to the Sultan's Tent in Toronto for a Moroccan feast and belly dancing.
My friends Julia and Dennis got married at the beautiful Bellagio hotel in Las Vegas on August 1st and Jessica and I made the pilgrimage to Nevada without our husbands to witness the nuptuals first hand. Julia sure was a beautiful bride. It was a quick and memorable (and hot!) weekend and we look forward to celebrating with them again at their Ontario reception in November.
A week later Luigi and I (and the rest of the family) headed to Ottawa (well Manotick but close enough) for Chad and Mona's wedding. It was probably the nicest day of the summer and the wedding was beautiful. Both the ceremony and reception were held at the groom's father's house - well more like an estate really. Everything from the I do's to the watermelon martinis to the mariachi band to the late night poutine bar were thoroughly enjoyable and we were happy to be a part of their day.
We got a new cat! Abby came to live with us in early July. It's taken her a while to adjust but she's getting there. I don't think she's too sure about Luigi though.... She's a gorgeous 8 year old grey kitty.
Luigi's 'Zio & Zia' came from Sudbury for a visit - their first trip to Oakville since our wedding. We had everyone for dinner while they were here. Mattea, Emilia and Luca patiently posed for the family papparazzi!
I have changed jobs and am looking forward to working much closer to home. The commute was becoming very tiring and expensive. In between jobs I took some time off and we spent a week in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic - one of our favourite islands.
Fall is in the air and it's back to reality I'm afraid.
