Timber Raising, Gymnastics, Showers, Birthdays, Farm
This has been a busy week.
Friday we had our timber raising at the house. I couldn't be more excited to live there now. We spent the entire day at the property watching the workers raise the timbers. AWESOME!
We were joined by some family (Phil, Doreen, Kiana, Aidan, Kennedy, Cecilia, John, and Anne Marie). The day was beautiful and fun!
It was really nice to share this with family!
Saturday morning we got up for 7:30am for Hadley's first ever gymnastics competition. This was EARLY for everyone! Hadley did very well. She got a silver in vault, and bronze in beam, bars and mat. With an over all bronze. She loved getting the ribbons and going up on the podium with her name being announced. :)
Saturday afternoon Hadley and I attended a shower for my cousin Dustin and his wife Rachel. They have a baby due in August.
Then Sunday our entire family went to Brian's aunt Nora's house to shower Brian's cousin Tina (and Jesse and baby Parker).
Sunday evening we celebrated Brian's uncle as he turned 50! I am not sure the local restaurant (Vecky's) knew what they were in for with so many of us!
Yesterday I spent the day cleaning the house. This was much needed and I felt good about all that I got done. It was necessary.
Then today I was fortunate enough to have Brian work from home so that he could watch Easton while I went on Hadley's class trip to the farm.
I loved how excited she was for me to join her. I also loved watching her as she was obviously confident in her surroundings and with her peers. :)
The trip included a barn tour where each child could pet a piglet, a hen, a rabbit, a turkey, and hold a baby chick. (This was Hadley's favorite part).
We also had a wagon ride to learn about machinery and crops. Plus a small classroom session where they used a pretend cow to try out milking, a sandbox made with corn kernels, and a grinder where they could make flour.
We got on the bus seconds before it started to down pour. Perfect timing!
Hadley also got her report card today. She is headed for grade 1 with a report card to be proud of!
I feel like summer can now begin!
