Spring

Spring has finally arrived in Vancouver and here are a few of our highlights so far....

Ashlyn lost her first (and second a few days later) tooth in March!

 

 

Shaylah turned 8 years old!  She had a home party this year with 8 of her friends.  It was the last day of school before Spring Break and the girls ate pizza and sushi for dinner and then watched "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2" in their pyjamas.  Easy party for me to plan!  We always do "no present" parties for her friends, so after the movie they danced and played limbo until the parents showed up.  Her big request for a present this year was a pogo stick and she has gotten really good at it.

 

 

 

Visits with Great Gran and having a tea party.  Great Gran turned 96 years old this year and she is amazing.  She is my mom's mom and I so appreciate having her in my life.  She gives the best tea parties for the kids (with real tea and homemade oatcakes) and they LOVE going to visit her.

 

 

 

Spring has also brought a start to a whole new set of activities.  We have given up soccer for t-ball (Ashlyn and Caelan), softball (Shaylah) and swimming lessons.  The kids continue to do basketball, piano lessons, GEMS (girls) and Beavers (Caelan).  Life is busy, but I wouldn't have it any other way!
