Greetings dear blog readers!
I hope you have all been enjoying this beautiful Summer weather:)
Life has truly been quite the whirlwind these past few weeks, but I am finally now having the opportunity to sit down and compile a post with some pictures. So, what can I tell you about our life...? One word that would explain it perfectly is insanely busy. Literally non-stop craziness. There are some big "family decisions/changes" coming, that I can't reveal just yet, but as soon as I can I will be sure to tell you guys ALL about it! Moving on to things that we can talk about:)
Our cousin Daniella was able to come and spend a few weeks at our home which was such a treat... Much time was spent cooking, visiting, biking together, and just enjoying each other's company! So many memories made. Along with that, we had a friend from Italy visit us as well, Simone! Oh, my... what fun we have been enjoying, exploring our big city of Toronto with him:) Honestly, it is not even possible to convey in writing how much we have all enjoyed our times together, it has truly been a blessing! We visited the CN tower for the very first time (ahhh!?), and also had the privilege of going to the ROM (Royal Ontario museum), Ripley's aquarium, the Toronto zoo, and lotsss more! Let's just say, we are all avid espresso drinkers now, (no more of that "dirty water coffee" hah:)
What else have we been up to?? Hmmm... You may wonder what has happened to my vegetable garden? It is doing surprisingly well, even though last month I was beginning to think that starting all my plants from seed was ending up in complete failure. We have already harvested the lettuce, and now are just waiting for the tomatoes to ripen up! I will try to do a post soon with pictures and updates of that.
I guess I will wrap it up now, and attach some pictures for you all to enjoy!
Until next time,
~Hannah

Visiting Toronto Island
With the whole crew!
Even though we only had a few hours to spend, we really enjoyed the amazing scenery!
Waiting in line for the ferry...
Ahh... this day we were exploring the "downtown core" on foot, but it started raining which was so funny:) We enjoyed it nonetheless!
Ferry time
Being crazyyyy
UofT grounds
Goin' for a little family stroll down to the lake!
This little doll is starting to walk!? Such a cute little chicken!
Finally taking the trip up the CN tower... what an experience!
Anddd.... we made it up alive and well!
Toronto. Our City.
These people are the BEST! We had such fun together
Quintessence Ensemble
I was so proud of Mimi for facing her great fear of heights, and taking on the glass floor!! Great job girl!
Of course as Italians, we couldn't go with any other food. Italian was the only option for us "biased" people:) hah
As you can see, Simone didn't mind finishing up all the leftovers:)
Aww... Sweet Abbs and Daniella
Sarah and Grace thoroughly enjoyed the aquarium!
When waiting in line, what do you do? Take a selfie;)
Of course, we had to have some "beaver tails", a very Canadian treat!
And, eat at the St. Lawrence market downtown... (Italian food once again:)
Niagara Falls, Ontario
After exploring around Niagara Falls, we drove to Niagara on the Lake, a beautifully quaint little town, full of small shops and adorable scenery... We picked up some lunch stuff, made our own sandwiches and had a mini picnic!
Wedding performance for Quintessence
Ahh... more pasta. This time Chef Simone's specialty!
Toronto zoo day
Luvv this girlie!
Saturday hikes are the best!
Niagara escarpment...
Hello up there!
