Happy Birthday Bruce !

Today, Bruce is 4.

He celebrated before Grandpa Bruce and Special left; they would have missed both of them, even if my pictures seem to show a preference...

Everybody had lots of fun.

Special had brought dessert.

After the presents, a little bit of construction was required.

Happy Birthday Bruce !

March Break

We didn't save the best for last as the kids started March Break with a sleepover at Special and Grandpa's. They had lots of fun with some Easter activities.

It's never too early to start celebrating Easter (or eating mini-eggs!).

We actually had a lot of treats this week. After his night at the hospital, Keld brought us back doughnuts for breakfast.

There also was a lot of popcorn at the cinema, but I don't have pictures of that :)

What else did we do this week that didn't include eating ? Well, we tried to go swimming, but it's been cancelled. We did go skating a couple of times.

Julia went once with her friend Avenlea.

We would have liked to go play outside more but Kelden still can't walk properly and it is so icy that I am worried. So we've been coloring and playing board games.

I think they have fun just being together.

And I love having them home !

New Look

Julia finally got her new glasses. We were supposed to get two frames for the price of one and when they quoted us the price for those two pairs, they said that the lenses would be thinned. However, when we went to get those glasses, Julia's eyes popped out big time. She now has a 6.5 prescription, which is higher than what she used to have, but they said that what made her eyes popped out was because the lenses were not thinned to the max. I didn't realize there were degrees of thinning. Apparently, there are, and they usually don't thin them as much for kids. But they had done it last time for Julia and so we asked them to do it again. This, of course, costs a lot more, and we were at our limit for our reimbursement, with just one pair. So one pair is all she gets.

She has a big head, so none of the kids/youth glasses fit her and she always has to get ladies's glasses even if they are big. She doesn't mind, she's also buying ladies's clothes.

Kelden also wore his glasses yesterday, for Hawaii day!

He's ready for March Break !

Cast and Piano

Kelden had his cast removed yesterday. The doctor said it will take another 4 to 6 months before it is healed completely. He shouldn't be jumping or playing any sports, except sports like swimming (but no jumping in the water), for at least two months. So he should be ready for spring. (Let's hope spring is ready for him).

I also wanted to put a couple of videos showing Zack doing his piano homework. He does it almost every day.

I wonder if he would still be a bit young to start real lessons this fall...
