Here's Delaney in curlers for the first time getting an updo for her dance recital. Funny, thick as her hair is it doesn't hold a curl very well!

Two more days and counting...

until the end of the school year. I've been to the zoo twice on field trips, the boys both have field trips to the bowling alley (not sure how educational that is - but they do have to buy their own lunches so I guess there is some life skills involved!).

Connor's last soccer game is tonight. It's been rained out twice, the last time the same night as a tornado hit Elie, which is about 20 miles west of Winnipeg. We were on the far west side of the city for the game, and it looked pretty ominous. They let the kids start and Connor scored a goal right off, but then the lightening was spotted all around us so the referee called it. Good thing, it was terrible weather. Today is kind of cool, but there won't be any rain or lightening I think!

We're looking forward to the summer holidays!

Marathon... and the O'Haras ran

not the whole thing! I ran the half (and beat last year's time, thank you very much!) and Aidan and Sean ran the Super Run. We were all up at 5:30 in the morning to head out to the University where it all takes place. Next year we're all going to do it, Connor can do the Super Run too and Delaney and Mimi will do the 10K walk. Anyone else want to join us?

I started the morning out saying I was going to run the full marathon next year. Coming into the stadium at the end of the half, all that was going through my head was "no way am I running the full... no way am I running the full..." - we'll see. I guess if you do the training, you probably feel the same way the last two miles, but can do the first 20 or so the way I do the first 10 for the half.

The kids are into the last week of soccer, and we are so looking forward to summer vacation! Nana and the Bavieras are visiting the first two weeks of July, so that looks like a lot of fun. We're all heading to Calgary at the end of August for my cousin Kathy's daughter's wedding. I'm really looking forward to seeing my Hanson cousins, it's been a long time!! We made a flying trip out there a few years ago, but it has to have been 5 years or so.

Summer, here we come!!!
