Ethan, Easton's first time at camp, and back to school
Since getting back from our trip we have been quite busy. Our friends Shawn and Violette welcomed baby Ethan on August 22. However, with back to school prep, their own family visitors and Easton off to camp for a week for the first time, we finally got to meet him on September 1st. He's so cute and little.
We enjoyed a lovely bbq together and visited for a few hours. The kids were great with the baby. I am so happy for Shawn and Violette, they will be great parents!
Easton did great at his first week of summer camp by himself. He was lucky enough to have Beckett from hockey go with him and be in his cabin, and his sister Ayslin was there also but on the girls side. Easton was so excited to go. He wrote a letter home but we didn't get it until after school started. Still so fun! He enjoyed much spiree and swimming apparently. Among other things. He is on the red team while Hadley is blue. Once you are assigned a colour, that is your colour for every year. He is excited to go back next year.
While he was at camp, Hadley and I did a few back to school shopping trips as she has grown so much and needed so much. Plus she got her hair cut in a shoulder length cut which is super cute and adult shoes, that are the same size as mine!
With the new "season", it was time to try on hockey and skating gear, and do more shopping for new gear in the right sizes.
Guitar and piano lessons also started back up.
The first day of school went really well, as have the first two weeks. I have been in the school quite a bit already. While I have lunch supervised, there has also been a lunch supervisor potluck to go over important information, SCC prep for the upcoming curriculum night, I have been shopping for the breakfast program which will start up next week, and I have already volunteered for an upcoming trip for Easton's class and Terry Fox at the end of the month. There is a new principal, and he seems lovely. I am looking forward to the year ahead! So far the kids are enjoying school well enough. Easton has already done a presentation about himself. He had to bring in 5-8 things about himself to talk about, and Hadley is loving having a chromebook which all grade 7's get to have for use at school and at home.
My nephew Jayden plays for Saugeen Shores and won the provincial championship for baseball this year, so I am super proud of him. He also had his 11th birthday which we will celebrate at Thanksgiving with the twins who will have their birthdays at the end of September, turning 8, and Easton turning 9, the first week of October.
Well, off to get some things done around her.
