Happy Fathers Day Dad!



Following are 10 of the many reasons we love our dad so much:
1. He plays with us and dances with us
2. He loves to watch the Avengers as much as I do
3. He always tells me I am the prettiest girl in the world
4. He practices Soccer with us in the backyard
5. He is a great snuggler (Mom seconds this)
6. He cheers us on at our soccer games, at the ski hill and swimming pool
7. Makes home made pancakes and bacon every weekend and the best cheesy eggs in the world even on a school day (fathers day we made him crepes, rosti and his favourite breakfast sausage)
8. Takes us for drives in his cool car (and checked with the police first to see if it was ok!)
9. Set's off fireworks and let's us 'help' (OK this is for Dustind only and boy did he run after he helped to light the match ... of course Mom was yelling 'RUN Dustind RUN'). This is one even that Mom may not allow to happen again).
10. Let's us empty all of his wine 'samples' so that we can return them for the money every weekend (and when your Dad is in the wine business it adds up through the week).

Soccer Star

Soccer is in full swing now that summer is here. Dustind is playing for his favourite restaurant. What could be better than playing with McD's on your jersey!

School Play


We are so fortunate to have Mrs. Berry and the Strawberry Patch Montessori School in Stouffville. Dustind attadned when he was in JK and SK (every other day) but now Kindergarden is full time. This year we enrolled Maddison full day every day and she LOVED it!. She learned the alphabet (both to read it and write it), to count to 100 and write her numbers, to read and took part in many school plays.
Congratulations Maddison for a GREAT year at pre-school and thank you Mrs. Berry and all of the teachers at Strawberry Patch!

Like Mother Like Daughter


Cottage Fun


There are so many great things about going to the cottage, like swimming, playing outside and sleeping in our super cool room. But the best part is getting to visit our dog Barkleigh!

Princess Maddison




Any day is a good day to be a princess when you are four years old!!!

Teacher Gifts

It is the end of the year and that means teacher gifts. Given how cool all of our teachers were this year (4 for Maddison and two for Dustind) we decided they should keep cool this summer! So non-alcoholic cool beverages it was!
Congratulations to all of our teacher friends for another great year of dedication and hard work for our kids! Enjoy your summer and we will see you in September.

Calling all boards... Dustind is now a Green striped Orange belt!
