New contract

We are so happy to announce that Aric has been extend a probationary contract! What does this mean? Well he has been working on temporary contracts since he started teaching 6 years ago. We has been covering the same temp contract for the last 4 years, waiting for a contract to open up. One opened up just as the year was ending this year so he has been offered a probationary contract. This means all he has to do is put in one more year and turns to a permanent one next year. It's a hoop they have to jump through in order to get to the permanent. We know they like Aric and his teaching style as it is evident in him being re-hired each year. So needless to say we are ecstatic!  

We are gearing up for some Sumer fun. We will be going a couple of camping trips this year, and the kids are excited for that. We are planning on getting Naomi a room of her own built in the basement this summer too. Yay for splitting these kids up! We have already been out to Brooks to go boating with cousins, and they had s blast!

Naomi finished kindergarten this year and is very excited for the summer off, but equally excited for grade 1 next year. She did so well in school this year. She loves to read! Cutest "grad" photo ever!

Sylas has enjoyed the last year home with me and he 2 boys I babysit. He will have one more year home with me before he heads off to school too.  Sylas came on a quick trip to Utah with myself, auntie Chelsea and his cousin Taylor, for a wedding in June. He was so cute when he was telling me how he was in love with the bride. He kept sneaking into the photos to meet Kristin.

He loves to walk in the rain with an umbrella, as you can see below

Anyway, there is a quick update on us! 

I really suck at keeping up this blog, I apologize.
