Ian & Helena

Hello all,

No major news, just wanted to share an update on what we’re all doing and post a few pics!  We spent a great May long weekend doing some fishing, picnicing, and working around the house (Ian built a raised garden bed, which I now get to plant soon)! 

Rory enjoyed fishing (he went with Ian again this morning) and loves playing outdoors.  He and I are going to a preschool open house to check it out tomorrow (at the Christian school).  We haven’t decided if we want to send him to preschool or not, but I’m hoping our tour will help us make the decision.  It’s on the same days that I teach at the gym, where he would normally sit and watch a movie for most of the hour, so doing something more productive would definitely be a benefit.

Stevie is our little fish.  We just finished swimming lessons, and she is more than ready for the next level but can’t be enrolled until she turns 3 (Oct).  We’re in no rush, but we’re really looking forward to seeing some of her bravery at mom and dad’s cabin this summer!  Stevie has also been learning her alphabet and their sounds - she seems to have a real knack for picking them up quickly during our home preschool time.  She had a deep sliver in her hand tonight, which was terrible to take out (we had to hold her hand down), but on the plus side we got a lot of snuggles afterward.

Breanna has just learned how to ride a tricycle this week!  We received some hand me down bikes from an older set of twin (boys), and she just hoped on and rode off down the sidewalk.  Rory has picked it up this week as well, so soon they’ll be off on their own little adventures to the neighbours house sooner than I’d like, I’m sure.   

 That’s about all for now!  We’ll keep you updated.
