Lots has happened in the last few months. Unfortunetly, after a month, we had to pull Natalia out of her Montessori Preschool. I'm not sure why but she was not adjusting at all to the school. Instead of settling in, she was beginning to have panic attacks at the mention of preschool. Needless to say, she is only 2.5 years old so we decided to pull her out and now I take her to drop in programs a few times a week. She is much happier with this situation.
Emma is loving grade 1. She is still very advanced compared to her classmates but she seems happy and she absolutely LOVES her teacher. Lately in the car, we play question games with Emma like...How do you spell, "British"? or What is 6 x 5? She is doing really well with these and loves it when you play these games with her.
Oma was here for a few weeks this month and the kids loved it. How could they not enjoy all the extra attention? It also meant that Mommy and Daddy got to go on a date. We went to see Dirty Dancing on stage in Toronto. It was pretty good.
Anyways, I will leave you with a few pics of the girls from the past weeks and hopefully I will be posting here more often.

Thanks Shannon! Really I did not mean to suggest that you should post more often. I just wanted you to know that I miss staying in touch with your family this way. Glad to hear that Emma is enjoying grade one. I remember playing those games when we drove to nursery school in Waterloo. We would count, say our alphabet, sing away. Good thing no one could hear us! Sorry to hear that pre-school did not meat with Natalia's needs. Sounds as if she is enjoying the drop in sessions which is great. Good to hear that you and Gerben had a great date! Love the pictures. Boy, are the girls grwoing up...too quickly! That look in Natalia's eyes as she climbs up the slide certainly shows "life" in her. Love to see Emma's smiles as well. That Dad looks like one pretty proud Dad and so he should be. Thanks Shannon for taking time to post. I know that your time will be busy with two little ones.

As I reread my posted comments I see that mu mind was going faster than my typing! It was Davin and I that would play those games. And I mean "meet" not "meat" as well as "growing" not "grwoing". I need to proof read BEFORE I post!
