Lookout world, Toby is on two Wheels.

Toby is very proud of this new accomplishment and is telling anyone who will listen about it. He was very focussed on the task and managed to learn in two days. He is absolutely fearless.

Ethan and Alexis' First School Dance

We were all invited to Ethan's first school dance. We all got dressed-up for a night out. Simon was a hit with the older girls. Toby danced a little and ran a little. Ethan takes after his uncle Scott and spent most of the time ignoring the girls and chasing a ball around the gym.

Spring Cleaning

I managed to get a couple of good pictures of the boys in the bath. I wish this spring cleaning would last for the entire season. I love the way the bubbles are dripping on this picture of Ethan. He really doesn't mind sharing the tub with his brothers.

Toby was asking me to take a picture of him with his white beard. A peak into the future?

Simon loved the bubbles.

Quick Stop on the Way Home.

This is one of my favorite pictures of Emma and Toby. On the way back from the farm, we stopped at Howe Island and were lucky to catch Jessica, Alan and the crew just before they left.
The kids burned off some energy before we went the rest of the way home.

The kids loved this tractor ride.

Gregory at the point.

Flying Kites at the Farm

At the end of March break, we spent a few days at the farm. The kids go to know the horses and collected the eggs, but the highlight was seeing all of the Ontario cousins. It has been a long time since we got together with the Ontario side, and we had a wonderful time flying kites, collecting pussywillows and chatting.

Maple Syrup

Over March break we went to visit my parents to take part in making Maple Syrup. The kids loved being involved in the process and Ethan was able to explain the process in detail to visitors. As it turns out, my dad had so much sap this year that we wasn't able to keep up with it all.

Dad worked hard on his Maple Syrup stove and I'm sure that with a little tweeking it will improve each year.
