Nana and Grampy's Visit 2009

We just finished enjoying a visit from Nana Wendy and Grampy Steve. We had a great visit. Grampy took care of many of our fix-it chores - he is so handy. Wendy as always helped with the kids, the house and the laundry. We were all sad to see them leave!

We celebrated Mother's Day at my sister's house with a family bbq. Ethan, Olivia and Troy bought me some beautiful flowers and a musical card. Scott took the kids grocery shopping, which was a treat as well!

Trying to get a picture with me and the three kids proved to be impossible, so I had to settle for an indvidual picture with each of them.

Ethan had Mother's Day celebrations at both his schools and this year he had two nanas and me to celebrate with. Nana Charlotte and I went to his morning school Mother's Day Tea. The class sang some songs and made us beautiful crafts.

Nana Wendy and I went to his afternoon school Mother's Day Tea. At this tea, each of the kids sang the chrous to "You Are So Beautiful to Me." Ethan did a great job, it was amazing!

Troy enjoyed checking out the lockers at Ethan's school!

In mid-April, Scott went away on his annual golf trip. The kids and I used the free weekend we won at Michelle and Kevin's stag and doe to go away to Collingwood. In restrospect, it probably wasn't one of my best ideas - considering all the packing and travelling involved for two nights away with three kids. Here is Troy and Olivia having a nap after one of our walks.

Here's Ethan catching some sleep after using all his energy bothering his little brother! I keep trying to tell Ethan that one day he will be really happy to have a little brother. However, right now Troy just seems like a pest who wants to take his Bakugans!

The highlight of the weekend away for the kids was playing on the balcony. All three of them had a blast running. jumping and playing together.
