Update

It has been a busy few weeks in our household and that, combined with major computer troubles, has led to my lack of blogging. My apologies to my one or two loyal readers (sorry Mom!) Anyway, here I am up past my bedtime and taking a few minutes to blog some of the highlights of the last few weeks while all the keys on the laptop are actually working.

We went and picked strawberries at Krause farms last week. Evan and Grace were really great helpers and even Rachel picked some (in between eating) so we ended up with lots of yummy fresh strawberries to take home. I made some jam and froze some berries and we ate lots fresh but the best thing we did was dip some of the strawberries in melted chocolate - DELICIOUS!

Last week was Evan and Grace's last gymnastics class of the year. They were in a class of just six kids, including the two of them, this term so they got lots of time on the equipment and lots of help from their teacher. They both really enjoyed themselves and learned lots of new skills. Here they are in a tunnel that they got to play in on the last day.

I guess it's just the time of year for lots of lasts. We had a BBQ last week to wrap up Evan's baseball season. He has played on the same team with most of these kids for the last 3 years so they have gotten to be good friends and they play really well together. It's great fun to watch them play.

Grace also had her last game the week before and we went out for ice cream with her team to celebrate but I forgot my camera - what a horrible mother! :)

Here's another highlight - last week we were visited in our own cul-de-sac by a Reimer truck! Ryan has worked at Reimer for almost 11 years now and the kids are very used to us yelling "Reimer Truck, Reimer Truck!" when we see one on the road so they were jumping up and down with excitement to have a Reimer truck at our house. They were a little disappointed that they didn't get to ride on the power tailgate but it was a thrill nonetheless!
