Ethan's Field Trip to the Fish Hatchery

Ethan went on a school field trip to the fish hatchery. It was a really neat field trip with lots of hands on learning about the fish life cycle and the environment they live in. He really enjoyed it, so much so that he has decided he wants to have a fishing birthday party this year!

Jonas and His Midwife

I have felt very lucky to have such great care for Jonas since his birth. Shannon and Heather are the midwives that took care of Jonas and I throughout my pregnancy, Jonas' birth and Jonas' first few months. Heather delivered Jonas and Shannon visited us at our home three times before we finally started to bring Jonas into the office. I was sad to have to say goodbye to both of them this week at our last appointment before returning to our family doctor. Thank you to both of them for their wonderful support and care.

Sean and Sarah's Rehearsal Dinner

Reuben was asked to usher for Sean and Sarah's wedding, so we were all invited to the rehearsal dinner at the Mission Golf and Country Club. Ethan hung out with grandpa and Jonas with Auntie Andrea.

Playdate with Sam

Ethan invited a friend he met at hockey last spring over for a playdate. The boys had fun playing board games together. Ethan and Sam are now on the same T-ball team. Go Phillies!

Jonas Finds His Toys

Another exciting milestone was reached today. Jonas figured out how to hit at the toys dangling above his head and watched in amazement as they swayed above him. Too cute! Here is a video and a few pictures of the occasion.

Auntie Andrea

Ethan loves Andrea so much. He was so excited this year whenever she would come home for a break from school at UVic. He really missed her while she was gone. Here are a few pictures of a recent reunion and evidence of why she is one of his favourite people! Welcome home, Andrea!

Easter

We celebrated Easter with an Easter egg hunt for Ethan this year. The Easter bunny spoiled him with chocolate eggs and a transformer that Reuben had to assemble...go figure!! :) Ethan learned a lot about the meaning of Easter this year from school and came home one day telling me about the Easter story. Here is what he said, "Jesus died and was put in a rock. Then the rock rolled and he came back to life." Love it!! :O) Happy Easter everyone!
