I haven't said much about it because for some reason it seems to make me blush like a teenager. Darren has a new tattoo with the letter C. It is very sweet and I feel honoured that he would do that for me.

Strong man competition
Darren had a competition this past weekend. It was the first competition that I have seen this year and it was very exciting. Darren did excellent and tied for 2nd place. It was lot's of fun to cheer him on with Jade and great fun to see his excitement for doing something her loves.
Spider man
Spider man obsession is in full swing with our little man. Very cute! He has spider man PJ's, a red cape and sunglasses that he has been wearing for the last two days. He has worn the outfit out shopping and to soccer practise. He is getting lot's of big smiles from everyone that sees him. Very cute!

Canada Day 2008
Canada day.
Darren and I took the kids to Petrie Island for the Canada day festivities. What a great day. I am SO glad we went. We ran into some friends from Nate's preschool so he was able to hang with a little buddy. Nate did some of his first midway rides and had cotton candy for the first time. Jade got involved with the fire fighter demo and got to spray the big hose. Very cool!
In the evening we had some friends over for a barbecue. Weather was great and it was really nice to sit outside and enjoy the company of friends. Excellent day!

End of school
I am late posting but I thought I should say a little about the end of school. Better late than never.
Grade five has come to an end for Jade and preschool is finished for Nathan. Jade was thrilled for summer break...Nathan was not. Nate was on a wave of difficult behaviour with the end of school. I am sure it was related to the end of preschool and not understanding completely what was going on. There was talk about school's next year and missing friends. Nathan really does better when he has a schedule and knows what he can expect every day. Change does not come easy.
Preschool was a great experience for Nathan and for me. Socially it was great to meet Mom's with kids the same age and that are going through the same issues. For Nathan he learned so much...he lost some of his shyness and made some great buddies. We will miss preschool.
Jade had a great year at school. Her first year in the gifted program. Her report was great. It was a big change from her last school but she did an excellent job of getting involved and moving forward.
