We've had a break from soccer these last two weeks with spring break, so our darlings will be really fired up once it starts up again. Aren't they cute in their uniforms?
What a fun day we had! Brian has always had a goal of spending time one on one with each kid, which in our normal lives is a scheduling challenge, but since he is in between jobs, he took Dominique today for her and daddy time. They of course had a blast. Meanwhile Ivan and I did laundry with Emora in tow. It was actually quite fun. Ivan just loves to help and is so good at learning skills. He folded towels and helped drag baskets of clothes about the house. We worked on some math and school work and played lots and lots of different card games. The kids had swim lessons and are doing amazingly well. They can both swim without drowning for about a 3 feet now. We also brought them Sunday to swim as a family. There must be something magical about daddies, because they wanted to show him all their skills and even got to swim in the deep end with us.
Then Ivan took us out for supper. Yep, the kids had some money from a loving beneficiary and he wanted to spend it by taking us all out to supper. He had a $5 and a bunch of $1 and took us to one of his favorite places to eat: an all you can eat pizza buffet, with desert pizzas too. It's great to be able to eat out as a fivesome for $15. Emora and Dominique ate free and do they ever lose a lot of money on Emora! I'm telling you she can pack away the food. Then we hit three stores and bought our replacement digital camera. Dominique broke ours some time ago, so if you look closely at the above pictures, they are all blurry around the edges, so now we got a new one and it is strictly off limits to anyone under 21 or who has a tendancy to drop things, both of which exclude our trio. They now have 2 faulty digital cameras to use as their own practice models.
Tomorrow is Ivan's turn with daddy and I have a friend stopping over. They are going to look for a camera case, and walkie-talkies for our move and go for a professional hair cut. I just wrote my letter to the Y telling them I'm leaving. Wow, things are moving along.

You know why they want to show daddy all they learned? Cause he's usually not around when they learn. You take them to the swim class, so they know that you've seen it all. :D
It was the same with us as kids. Mom was around most of the time so she already knew we are able to do this and that. But daddy was a whole other story. (Besides, mom taught us how to swim, she's the professional swimmer/lifeguard of the family.)
Wish we would move as quick along as you do. Immigration sent back our form due to one missing page. (Andrew thought we wouldn't need said form but did after all.) Now it's another month or so till they tell us how we are doing. *mpf*
In just a short time, they can show off all their new skills to Grampa. I know he'll love every minute of it.
The look on Emora's face is priceless.
Yes you are right, they are so cut in uniforms.
Emora isn't a big fan of "Miss Piggy"?
