These photos are going to come in chronological instalments. This was the first Saturday after school ended. Hannah attended her first overnight retreat and the rest of us drove my dad to the Ottawa airport. After dropping dad off at Departures and wiping away some tears, we stopped off at Montana's for supper. There was no air-conditioning and the temperature was over 30 degrees. I think it was all a ploy to move people in and out of the restaurant at a super-fast rate. Also, there are some photos in which I appear not to age; really, this is almost identical to my junior high school photos.

One of the perks of Montana's is the deer antlers that the kids receive with their meals. The antlers are inevitably torn by the time we leave the restaurant, but they provide adequate distraction until the chicken fingers 'n' fries arrive. On a side note, a friend of mine asked me the other day if I ever tire of looking at Isaac and thinking, "Wow, is he ever adorable." Truthfully: No.
Remarkably, I did not plan this rendition of hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil. Obviously, the children are brilliant; either that, or Ben is just angry, Joe is motioning for food and Isaac's antlers need to be tightened.
I searched for a photo of Jacob and realized that he had gone to the cowboys rest room while I snapped photos. Isaac soon followed.
In honour of Hannah's absence: a little sign that is meant to read, We love and miss Hannah, not, We plus miss love Hannah.
