Temple and Leadership Conference

 Keld was invited to attend a leadership conference last week-end. I was asked to accompany him to the lunch but since I had the morning free, I went to the temple.

Keld did manage to do a session too as we drove on Friday. We missed the 5 o'clock session as we were delayed because of an accident but fortunately, we made it for the 7 o'clock !

Keld was right; if I hadn't come with him, he would have been the only one from his coordinating council without his wife...

So we are grateful Aunt Ashley accepted to watch the kids and the dog, once again! I think she had help from cousins and other aunt and uncles. They all seemed to have had a good time.

Thank you everyone !

Congratulations !

 Zack's birthday week was very rewarding. He got a silver medal in the chess tournament. (It's based on the number of games you have won, so he wasn't the only one with silver.)

He got another medal in basket ball. His team didn't win but he got one of the MVP awards !

And he again got first place at the music festival!

Kelden also won at the festival. His competition didn't show up but still...

Ryan was picked out to turn the valorisation wheel at the school. It's a new motivation system. He landed on "sit with whoever you want for a day" (although it turned out not to be whoever as he wasn't allowed to choose Zack :(

Congratulations boys!

Happy Birthday Zack !

 

We celebrated Zack's birthday this week!

The fishing rod came with a bag so it is easy to bring when we go camping!

Happy birthday Zack !!

Happy Easter

 

Going to catholic schools, we start celebrating Easter quite a few weeks before Good Friday with Lent, Ash Wednesday, the Stations of the Cross, etc. Their rituals are different but our beliefs in Jesus and His resurecction are shared. 

On Good Friday, the kids went to decorate some eggs...

...while I built the Easter nest. We usually have a hard time finding a chick for it, the ones we find are very small, but this year, Keld got us a big one!

On Saturday, we had the Easter meal and a first egg hunt.

On Sunday, we had another hunt.

On Monday, we celebrated Ted's birthday.

We will celebrate Zack's tomorrow...
