Marchness

Seth, Laura and I attended a Lego contest hosted by the Canada Aviation and Space Museum last week. Kate stayed with our dear friend, Gerda so that I could relax and not have to keep her out of trouble. We had a good morning together participating in the Lego activities and then going through the museum. This is our second time at this museum; last year we went to the same Lego event even though Seth wasn’t registered. This time, they were both registered to bring a space themed Lego creation. Seth did so well talking to everyone who came by to see his elaborate Lego set-up. I was so proud to hear him interacting with both museum staff, his peers and other interested parents and students. Laura was her usual shy public self and talked to no one, although she did shake her head in respond to some questions, but that was it. You would have never known how much of a chatterbox she can be from her time behind the table. Definitely different personalities in these two, but they still enjoy playing together, except for when they don’t. Ha!

These photos are all from this past week. Shane and Seth built a bobcat from Lego Mindstorm which Seth can remotely control. He’s been practicing picking up small items and Kate is always standing by to ‘assist’. You can imagine how that is appreciated.

One morning this week, I came downstairs after having had my shower and here the two girls were sitting coloring together on the same chair. Laura explained with a cute smile that they liked sharing chairs. Alrighty then.

Seth took a turn with a short-lived stomach bug but seems to be on the mend already. But it lasted long enough to excuse him from most of his independent work yesterday and today. Although we did do our Morning Time today, so he didn’t entirely get to slack off, but it is Friday after all and we’ve worked hard all week.
Here’s a few more photos of my beautiful bouquet which is just getting better with each day. Thanks again, Mom, Dad and Uncle David. It has been a wonderful gift to enjoy.
