A Day Out With Thomas!

The Hamiltons came down for A Day Out With Thomas the Train the first week in May. Unfortunately  the weather didn't cooperate like it did 2 years ago! All the kids were pretty excited to see Thomas and had a great time, even though it was a little cold and wet! 
Then there are these 2 children…oops, men!
 Gage & Julia played so well together…maybe too well since they came up stairs basically naked!
 We attempted to recreate a picture we took last year, once again it was a total gong show! Clearly the Hamilton children are a little more cooperative!

 



Little Bunnies!

Julia won a colouring contest that Shynell (our dayhome provider) entered her in, her prize was the giant bunny!
Ben will say "cool dude" whenever we put his sunglasses on!
With the Wilson Girls!
 The first snowman we built with the kids! "Olaf" was made during late April…never ending winter!
We went to the zoo for Easter! Our kids were definitely the cutest animals there!
 Ben LOVED the meerkats and had a full conversation with this one! Precious!
 Good Bye Elephants! Enjoy your new home in Washington, DC!
 Cute little bunny Ainslee!

Dancing Queen!

Extracurricular activities have now begun for our little beans! Ben "played" street hockey all winter, whenever we went into the garage he grabbed a hockey stick and ball! He wasn't in any organized activities this year but always had fun running around during Julia's dance and soccer.
Julia loved her tap & ballet class this year, especially when she got to put on make-up for her recital and dance pictures! Her dance technique is a work in progress but oh can our girl twirl!
We put her in Sportball Soccer and it was great, they did so many different activities with the kids and had them running the whole time! This coming fall will be busy with dance, swimming, skating and gymnastics!
Super save!
During the finale of the dance recital she kept standing up looking for us! Once she found us she was a jack-in-the-box popping up and down waving at us! It was hilarious!
'Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile!"
Bring a friend to class day! Julia and Michelle met at preschool this year and adore each other so they brought each other to their dance classes. Ms. Adrianne and Miss Tori were her dance teachers for her Happy Feet class. 



Baby Paxton!

We are so excited for the arrival of Gillian & PJ's little boy Paxton in March! Jill was a great mommy before she even had him, her love for my kids is so amazing! And Julia absolutely adores her best friend Jill! Often out of no where Julia will ask to visit Jill, she is one great "auntie!"
 A couple days before Paxton's arrival!
 Belly Bump!
 First snuggles with such a teeny boy!
 
Summer fun with their little buddy!
