June, hikes, birthdays,

Summer begins and we were back at track! This year, Josie was able to join her brother and sister. We also had many friends at track:

June is also the start of the "Healthy Kids Fun Run" series that we have been participating in every year for 5 years now:

We also participated in a French hike with a local guide. The excitement of the hike was when a rattlesnake launched out at Josie. Thankfully she was standing right next to our guide who grabbed her immediately away from the rattler. 

Working on the new school has been a full time job. Thankfully we received some grant funding to assist with childcare so the team could work. We arranged to have a French-speaking nanny take care of all of our combined children during the day. It has been so sweet to see them together. Here is rest time with the nanny group:

Study time at the nanny's:

 The nanny lets them do way more crafts than I do :)

My parents took Jack and Lily to California for the weekend:

 Our first ad for the new school was launched in a local magazine:

 We celebrated Fathers Day!

 We participated in the annual Fathers Day Run:

Then Luke got to enjoy playing video games on our new projector:

We enjoyed a few visits to Paddlers Pub:

We had a family volunteering day with VOC:

Josie is becoming more like her sister every day!

For Jack's birthday, Luke took him and 4 of his buddies to a local hotel with a big water-slide. They spent the night there swimming, eating pizza, then playing pokemon cards and staying up until midnight. Best birthday ever!

For my birthday, we had a no-kids poker and karaoke party. Not sure if it was just my lucky day, or if people we being nice because it was my birthday, but I finally won poker!
