Mother's Day celebrations

Josh and I put this together. It took a little while, which explains why it's a week after the fact!

Rick Hansen - The Man in Motion

Today the kids and I went to watch Rick Hansen, on his 20th anniversary of climbing Thermal Drive, do it again. We went with our friends Kristal, James and Sam. Kristal had a book about Rick Hansen, and we talked about his accomplishment of wheeling around the world in 2 years, 2 months and 2 days to raise awareness and money for Spinal Cord injuries and research. I was there 20 years ago, with my mom and Tara, late for school, as we watched Rick climb the hill on his final day of the world tour.

There were a lot of people lining the street, and a number of school kids walked with Rick as he wheeled up the street. I'm so glad we went! If you want to learn more about Rick Hansen, check out http://www.rickhansen.com/

Cute kids

Just thought I'd post some recent pics of the kids. Joshua had just finished running for 30 minutes at Kilometre club at school(more on this in a future blog). He is very happy when he is running. This is Lucy last week, before her haircut, our little fashion diva. Note the purse and sunglasses - her choice. She picks dandelions and other flowers every day on our walk to school to pick up Joshua. If she had her way, every vase in our house would be full of flowers!

Cousins - The Movie

Lucy & Griffin having some fun...

Weekend with cousins

Mark and I celebrated our 11th anniversary last week, and Joshua and Lucy got to spend the night at Aunt Nancy and Uncle Brian's house. Here's some pics of adorable cousins having fun together: Josh & Gracie playing Leapster, and Griffin & Lucy sitting on the puzzle they just finished, with Gracie joining them. Aunt Nancy planned lots of fun activities for the four kids. Thanks so much!
