Soccer Camp

Ella and Juliette are participating in a soccer camp this week. They had their first day today. They played go-go-stop, practiced kicking the ball, and practiced shooting on goal.

Yesterday we went to a farewell party for Spencer. Spencer is moving to a new school this year. He will still be teaching French, but his new school is much closer to home.

At the party, the girls enjoyed meeting some new friends and jumping on the trampoline!

Science World

Last Friday we drove into Vancouver and took the girls to Science World. We weren't sure if the girls would be too young for it or not, but they loved it!

The girls were having so much fun that it was hard to slow them down to take a picture.

Backyard Fun

When it's hot in the afternoon we like to play in the backyard. We have a little kiddie pool set up and the girls like to play with the hose. Here's a video of Juliette using the hose...

Roger and Helen

Last Thursday, after Karis' 1 month doctor appointment, we visited with Roger and Helen. It was a beautiful morning so we spent some time on their deck. The girls really enjoyed having Roger read them a story.

At 1 month Karis weighs 10 lbs and 7 oz and measures 22" long. She is now sleeping for 6 hour stretches at night. We are so thankful for our healthy baby girl!

Happy Birthday Sean!

Last night we celebrated Sean's 40th birthday. We had a great time at the party. Ella even got to swing a bat to try to break the pinata.

Ella and Juju did very well at collecting the candy from the pinata.

Oma with Karis.

The best part of any party - cupcakes!

Shirts

A little hard to see in this picture, but Ella and Juju are wearing matching 'Big Sis' shirts and Karis' shirt says 'Little Sister'. And, possibly more exciting than the sister shirts, Spencer is wearing a NEW shirt!! Thank-you Grandma Jo-Ann!

More Summer Fun...

Enjoying a picnic at the park.

Summertime is for sitting back and relaxing.

Krause Farms

Last Friday we visited Krause Farms. At Krause Farms there is a petting zoo, a park, berry picking, and delicious treats! In Ella and Juliette's opinion, this might as well have been Disneyland. They loved it there!

Karis meets Grandma She-She and Great Grandpa...

Today we went to Great Grandpa's and had a visit. Karis met GG and Grandma She-She.

Ella told GG all about Dora and Swiper the fox. She brought her Dora book for GG to read to her.

Matching Outfits!

Our friend Tammy has been hoping we would have a third girl so that they could all wear matching outfits. So, when Karis was born Tammy bought our girls some matching shorts and tops. Here are some pictures of the matching outfits. Ella changed her shorts a few times throughout the day... wearing one outfit a day just isn't her style. Tammy's daughters also have the same outfits.

Summer Weather has arrived...

We have had some hot days this past week. We set the pool up in our backyard and the girls have enjoyed sliding into the water.

Here's Karis in her summer outfit. I love her little sandals. These were a gift for Ella, but since she didn't do much walking in them they aren't worn out.

We also took the girls to White Rock beach. They love going to the beach and having a picnic.

Grandpa Clark meets Karis

Last Thursday, Grandpa Clark came to town to meet his newest granddaughter. 

All 3 girls were happy to see him and kept him busy throughout his visit.

We took Grandpa to the school park and Grandpa and Ella had a few running races to see who was the fastest. I think Ella won the best of 3, but she had trouble waiting for us to say 'on your mark, get set, go' and so she had a few head starts.
