Summer

We're welcoming Summer with open arms! 
Here's Owen on his last day of preschool with mrs. Jeannette. She was so good for him! I was a little teary walking out of Discovery knowing he wouldn't be back. He grew a lot there. He learned letters and numbers and how to make friends and be kind. He is excited to have a break! But the night before the last day, he cried a tiny bit saying he's "going to miss that great, great school".


One of the most rewarding and enjoyable parts of being a mother for me, is watching my children do something that took work, doesn't come totally natural or is conquering a fear. Owen's Spring sing was  all of those things.  He sang his little heart out and was so happy doing it. 
The class even sang a song "2,4,6,8 why don't you participate?" it had really cute lyrics about jumping in and having fun. pretty much summed up how he grew the last two years.

this is this is the place

We spent a few hours at This is the place heritage park today. We loved everything about it...animals, horsy rides, train rides, candy store, and old little houses. The boys loved the name and cracked up saying "this is this is the place!"

We gave Owen our old little digital camera a while ago, and he has developed quite the passion for taking pictures. Especially animals. He was too busy with his own photography to be in many pictures, that's why they're all of Lewis. When I asked to take a picture of both of them on the train, Owen said "sure, with my camera too please".










Your royal fuzziness


Kit's hair has come in quick and thick, just like a spring chick. It is so fuzzy and soft and Treavor and the boys have been addressing her as "your royal fuzziness". Owen and Lewis were cracking up about it one morning and asked to make her a crown. 

look-alikes

I took a picture of Kit's first time sitting up in a shopping cart the other day. It reminded me a lot of another happy, squishy photo I took about 5 years ago.
