No more school, no more books....

We have reached the end of the school year! Phew....

Zachary did well at school and we saw a lot of improvement in the areas he struggled early in the year.

At the year end awards ceremony, he received an award for perfect attendance! He was so proud, especially since he was the only student to achieve that this year.
We were extremely proud, especially after all the health difficulties Zachary experienced in the last school year! Unfortunately, we don't have any pictures, because we weren't told he was getting an award, so we never brought a camera!

Corbett's potty training is thankfully, coming along a lot better than it was.

On Canada Day, we headed over in the evening to participate in the 1km kids race at the Walden Firecracker Run. Both Corbett and Zachary ran 1km and even got a medal at the finish line. Corbett was so proud he wore it to daycare the next day and Zachary got to go show his at karate class. My parents came by to get some pictures which we really appreciated because we ran with the kids!


Running together. I got such a thrill out of running with Zachary, kids have endless energy!


Almost at the finish line. I think Zachary loved hearing all the cheers and clapping as we approached.




After we were done, we went back to get Corbett. Once Corbett and Daddy rounded the corner and Corbett saw us, he took off fast to meet us. Very cute!




Showing off the hardware!

Finally, on July 5th we saw some good friends of ours off on an adventure. Cynthia, Marc and their two children are off to live in Australia for a year! Their son and Zachary are very good friends who have known each other since they were born, so Zachary misses his buddy, as do we. Jordan left the house on his motorcycle to see them off on their early, 6am flight.

Bye guys! Have fun,...we miss you already!
