Bathing Beauties and the Bionicles

Obsession with Bionicles

Both boys continue their obsession with Bionicles. Max is making movies about "how to put bionicles together". We have a kazillion bionicle pieces!

Forts and the Dog

Nothing like putting up blankets, and hiding out in the fort, with the dog, of course!

Kits Beach and Kits Pool

We decided to do some cosmetic renovations on our home, so we decided not to go away this summer. What to do? We are living at Kits Pool which is our favourite spot. Every day, the boys ask me, "Are we going to the pool today?" We have so much fun swimming and frolicking in the salt water pool with the mountains in the background.

Here we are with Pietro, Max's fabulous friend!!!




You feel as if you have been on a holiday after a great swim and sun.

Our Boys...so big!!!

Goodbye to the School Year: Grade 2 and K are over!

Goodbye teachers and thank you for a fantastic year. Our boys have grown so much and have learned so much. Onto grade 3 and grade 1.....

Miss Hewitt, Miss Hewitt, Miss Hewitt!!!!!

I am in tears....Max is leaving grade two, and his wonderful teacher behind. Miss Hewitt is one of those rare teachers your child will have...and you know you are blessed because everyday is special. I can honestly say, there are about 8 or 9 superstar teachers I have met in my life, and Miss Hewitt is on that list!!!! The others....well, Miss Parry, Ms. Gelson, Ms. Chomyn, and Miss McDonald...you are there!!!!

Miss Hewitt, we adore you. Thank you for making Max blossom this year! We can't wait until Bruno has you in a few years. Thankyou!!! Thankyou!!! Thankyou!!!!
Love Marielle, Chris, Maximilian, and Bruno!!!xoxoxo

Happy Father's Day!!!!

Better late than never! To the best dad in the world!

This is not my project!!!!

For the final project in grade two, Max had to choose an animal and do a research project. He is so tired...so, he read some books, and wrote paragraphs, and I typed them into the computer. As well, he drew the pictures. I helped (oops!) with the gluing, the letters, and some of the outlining, and the "sticks" that are supposed to be a lodge. I love the wolf...he is my favourite!

Bruno now and then...

Six years have passed in Bruno's life .....sweet boy from the beginning.
