 Learning about government is always fun!

A great track season was had by all; here is Max running the 1500!

Sun Peaks for Spring Break

 Off to visit one of our favourite mountains:  Sun Peaks for the Nancy Greene Ski Festival

The boys are so big now; hard to believe

Go Bruno Go!

Looking good, Max!

One of my favourite mountains:  Sun Peaks has great terrain, a wonderful village, and it is family friendly!

 A great Ted Talk on Introversion and how we often don't value or understand this as teachers.

Will I be this type of Mother in Law?

I love this post about being a mother to boys

I will be the notorious mother in law, or ....I can begin right now to work on being gracious, as I have a bit of time (say the next 10 years!)


I am sad the day they leave me for someone else! 

SFA Open House

 Max's report on immigration:  writing about Oma's story...

 Bruno studies the Chrysler Building in New York...hopefully we can visit it soon!

 Look at all the great buildings studied in grade 3:  wonderful work everyone!

Max's description of self:  "I am a little grade five student....."

SFA's annual Open House  is always a treat...it is nice to see what the boys are working on and to catch up with their teachers.  Bruno has been studying Structures and Buildings and Max just finished a unit on Immigration.  Good work, boys!

Night Skiing

Why I Live in Vancouver....

A twenty minute drive to fresh air, snow, and happiness!

Race at Hemlock

 Beautiful sunshine, crisp snow, and a fun day of skiing at Hemlock Mountain!
