Last Day of School...Already!

Tomorrow is Meg's last day of school, year one (JK) complete. Where did the time go? We cannot believe how much she has learned, grown-up and changed in the last 10 months. She loves school, her teachers and has made some great new friends. All in all I would say it was a very successful first year of school for her and a great experience. 
We were happy to find out this week that all her teachers will be back at the school next year and she will be in the same class with the same teachers and the same kids, minus 3 who are 'graduating'. 
Today we also received the schools yearbook. The teachers asked the kids four questions:

1. What is your favourite job/task at school?
2. What is your favourite food?
3. What do you want to be when you grow up?
4. What country do you want to visit?

Below is a copy of Meg's yearbook photo and her answers to the questions. Adorable.

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to all the dads! 

We had a great day but we did miss seeing both Grandpa Gibby and Grandad today. We will be seeing them both soon.

Meg had a plan for the last few days for her daddy and could hardly contain her excitement. She made him a gift at school that she wouldn't even let me see and was really excited to make him breakfast in bed. Meg also decided that today was the day she would sleep in until after 8am. That would have been a gift any other day but seeing that we woke up at 6:30am, it was a long wait for Nathan lying in bed to make sure he didn't ruin Meg's surprise :)
But the presents and breakfast were a hit. Her present was homemade nuts and bolts mix as well as an old tie that she is insisting he wear to work tomorrow. Adorable. 
And what would Father's Day be without a gift for Meg! We started the day with a bike ride on the trail with Meg in the bike trailer. We realized pretty quickly that she is getting too big for the bike trailer so we went to the bike shop and bought a new attachment for the bike instead. She caught on immediately. We are looking forward to many bike rides in the future! All in all a great day.

Happy Father's Day to all! 

We love you daddy, Grandpa Gibby and Grandad!
