Sweet Home...

For any of you who don’t know (and I doubt there are many), I love my home. Really, really, love it. It’s warm, cozy, always full of happy people and fantastic food, eclectic music and the salty smell of the ocean blowing in from the back door.

My time there this vacation wasn’t nearly enough. Jack didn't get to visit at all, since he was busy trying to build his house in Israel. I was at home for six or seven weeks all together but it felt more like one or two. I was so sad when it was time to leave, I was downright depressed. Here are some photos of my wonderful time there.
My sister, me and my brother's girlfriend, Jessica.

Late-night jam session.






Simon, Dad and the rest of the guys played a few great shows.

So many people came out to see the band. It was so nice to have everyone all together!



We have a house full of orchids.

My Meme’s 70th birthday party!
And also Mom and Dad’s anniversary.
I think Grace is showing promise already. If anyone can teach her, it's Simon.

The gals...
I made a few visits to Halifax that were also way too quick, but I managed to see almost everyone at least once. Stephen and I indulged in quite a few delicious meals at his apartment (although I can’t seem to find a photo with him in it. Those are his pyjamas in the corner, hehe).

Me, Mom and Eliza out for dinner with some of my aunts and cousins. We need to have this kind of girls’ night out more often!

Bridesmaid dress shopping…
... dinner,
... and invitation making.

The bride-to-be.
Dinner and drinks downtown.
Um, more food and more drinks at the Fireside (did I really do that much eating and drinking? Yes, of course.)


Back in Cape Breton for Easter Dinner. Grace has a crush on Jamie and it’s really cute.

Everyone joins Grace in watching Robin Hood, the Disney cartoon. Or at least the ones who can stay awake after all that turkey do.

We do a few artsy things.

One of my two favourite kinds of flowers.

What a fantastic view in our back yard. No matter where I travel in the world, I miss it so much.

Regardless of how far I travel, or how many countries I explore, my home will always be where my heart is. Y
