Spring Catch Up

Phew... We made it through one Very.  Busy.  Spring!!! 
Our Spring has included:
 
A Superhero Dance Recital. 
(Of course our favorite dancer was Maarti!)
Sports Day.  Maarti's Preschool was invited to join Sam's school for the day.  All the preschoolers were assigned a "Big Buddy" and Sam took his roll of looking after Maarti very seriously.  Good job Sam... you made us proud! 
Luke's favorite event at sports day was buckling up all the straps on the stroller.
Our spring also included two unexpected trips to Enderby.  Sadly, they were to celebrate the lives of two very dear people to us.  Granny and Uncle Harold passed away within 5 weeks of each other and though we miss them we are happy that they are with their Saviour who they both loved so much.  I think my brother said it best:  " 'We do not grieve as those who have no hope!' but we do cry a little".
 
Despite the circumstances of our trips, we did enjoy our time with family... it is always so rich to be together.
Papa's tractors are always a hit!
Sam is growing up and, as promised, Papa taught him how to drive the lawn tractor.
Luke also had a lesson...
In how to ride a Buckin' Bronco!!!
He's well on his way to 8 seconds!
Thankfully... it hasn't gone to his head yet and he still knows he needs his Daddy.
On father's day we had a picnic,
Flew a kite (Made especially for Jeremy by Sam),
and went to a car show.  (Jeremy will be disgusted that I'm not posting any pics of the cars, but it's my blog, so tough bean-er-inos!!)
Maarti graduated from preschool.  She had a great year and can hardly wait for kindergarten.  She has certainly blossomed this last year... it's hard to believe that this same girl spent much of last summer crying about not wanting to go to preschool at all!!

We have had a super wet couple of weeks, but that's okay... nothing popcorn and a movie can't fix. 
Love these three in their jammies!!
And now it's summer... I think!!... come on Mr. Sun... we're waiting for you!
