While I wait to hear about my dissertation from UNB, I have been spending time with my children at my husband’s family cottage near Fredericton. The weather here is hot and my children are happy that I am no longer married to my computer. We’re playing, “frogging”, swimming, snacking, and I knit on my final banner for the dissertation presentation during their breaks!

My son was playing with my iPhone this morning and shot the following video* which I love… In the video he introduces his sister’s breakfast to the viewer, in addition to she and I personally, before moving on to list some of his favourite things about ‘the lake’.

[* this evening before dinner, my son asked me to remove this video – though I want to say, I try to be very sensitive, and careful not share anything overtly private about either of my children – and I acted immediately on his request.]
