School's Out for the Summer

Finley's last day of Grade Primary! He did it! What a year for Finley. He really, really enjoyed school at Bedford South. His teacher was Ms Haverstock or Miss H. and he had a lovely classroom and made some really beautiful friends. His best friend was Noah who he played with every day as well as lots of friends both boys and girls who loved to play - Caleigh, Jayden, Haixang.

The Best Worst Night Ever

A big smile comes to my face when I think of this experience because it was so terrible but so wonderful at the same time. Our wonderful stake Relief Society presidency organised an overnight camp for all of the sisters in our stake. I think that these events are so great, they take lots of work and planning and really give an opportunity for people to get to know each other and have a good time. I was excited to attend with Camille and Jen and we drove down together on a Friday night to the campsite near New Ross. It was right on a beautiful lake which we were excited to swim in the next day. The camp was held in mid June and we felt pretty sure that this meant it would be warm right? Its summer, lots of swimming and surely a sheet and blanket would be plenty for a comfortable night sleep – yes? No. Ha. Summer really begins July, what were we thinking?

Spring Splendor

Spring is a foggy, rainy, muddy time in Nova Scotia with the occasional warm, sunny day that gives you hope that summer is not too far away. Those first buds on the trees, the tiny sprouts pushing their way through the dirt bring so much joy and hope. And soon enough those early signs bloom into a technicoloured array that makes you forget the months of white and grey just passed.

Prima Ballerina

Recently Primrose started ballet lessons on a Saturday morning and it's basically the cutest thing I have ever seen. She is the youngest in the class by a little way and is just so sweet and funny following along and then getting distracted, regaining focus and falling over trying to get her legs in the right spot. Watching her, I couldn't help but have a huge smile on my face the whole time. She absolutely loves it. You can see that she really feels like a fairy princess prancing around and having a great time. She often talks about how much she loves 'Baa-lay' and being one of the 'Princess-es-ss'.
