On the last day of school, we were asked to attend for a presentation being made to Rebecca at middle school. Rebecca received two awards: for excellence in English and leadership in her grade. It was a nice surprise for all of us.

We were lucky to dog sit this past week for a perfect little dog, ‘Simon’. The girls were quite taken with him.

Abby finished grade 5 this week . It was bittersweet for her as she had to leave her favourite teacher – Mrs K. W. She has been in her class for 3 years in a row and was incredibly lucky to have a teacher that was so kind , caring, dedicated and fun at the same time. We are grateful for Mrs KW.

This spring, Abby practiced for her final play, “Jukebox Time Machine” . Abby had a lead role with her friend Kim. It was a treat to see her singing all the eras of music.

Rebecca had her summer semi formal dance — and was excited to dress up and dance with her friends. She practically jumped out of the car when I dropped her off at the school for the dance.
