It's Official - The Sold Sign Is Up!

The sold sign went up on our house on June 10, much to our relief! So we will be moving to our new home on August 14 but we have to be out of our place on August 2! It should be a very exciting and crazy summer when you add a new baby into the mix too!

Maren's 4th Birthday Party!

Maren turned 4 on June 8, 2008, and we had a party the night before. We had a fun time and the sun was out long enough for us to eat outside and enjoy the butterfly cupcakes! The following night I captured her asleep in her new sleeping bag and with her new doll!

Maren's Preschool "Graduation"

Sorry it's been so long since I updated the blog so I'll do a few today to get up to date!! Maren's preschool had their grad on June 6, 2008, she will actually back there next year and then kindergarten the following Sept. She and Alexandra got to wear star student badges and participate in the program! They're getting so big!

Ham Comes From Pigs!

Words by Ethan the other day:

We were having ham for dinner and Ethan asked what type of animal ham comes from as he was totally pigging out on the ham (no pun intended!). I answered that ham comes from pigs and Ethan quickly answered that "I'm sure glad this pig is dead", so he can enjoy ham! (His kindergarten class had a field trip to a butcher recently!)

It's Time for the Tooth Fairy!

Ethan lost his first tooth (41) on Thursday morning (April 3, 2008). It was driving him CRAZY and after I loosened it a little, he was able to pull it out! Mini wheats taste so much better when you don't have a tooth flapping around in your mouth! He put the tooth under his pillow that night and the tooth fairy brought him a toonie and a loonie! Beats the 25 cents we used to get!

Spring. Dare I Say the "S" Word???

We had Easter Sunday BBQ dinner at Grandma and Grandpa's house and these are 5 of the cousins after hunting for chocolate!

The crocuses (croci??) weren't thrilled with the dump of the white stuff!

The kids and Everest, however, had a fun, snowy play day!

The previous 2 pictures were just taken yesterday and are showing that yes, spring is winning out over winter! FINALLY!
