Hobin Family Reunion 2010

For the August long weekend we headed to Sarnia for the Hobin Family Reunion. It is always a good time seeing family that we only see maybe once a year and catching up. The kids loved 'meeting' family members (they have met them before, they just don't remember) and had a fantastic time swimming in Lake Huron. We are all looking forward to the next reunion next summer!

Another school year comes to an end...

Both Makayla and Nicholas had a great time in school this year. Makayla did very well in Grade 2, learning a lot of new and different things. She really liked her teacher Mrs. Boismier. Nicholas had a great year in Senior Kindergarten. His teacher, Mrs LaPointe, was wonderful and will be greatly missed!

Summer Fun ....

We are so fortunate to have neighbors who have a pool and let us go in it whenever they are not around.....and even when they are!

Nicholas' Senior Kindergarten Graduation

Nicholas had a fantastic year in Senior Kindergarten! His teacher, Mrs. LaPointe was amazing and Nicholas absolutely loved her! At the graduation we heard the kids sing a couple songs, say a couple poems and tell us what they want to be when they grow up. Nicholas said that he wants to be a Scientist, sounds like a good choice! We sure are going to miss his teacher but he is getting excited about going to Grade 1 !!

Dance 2010

Another great year of Jazz for Makayla! It was a fun class and her teacher was really great with the girls. There were 6 girls in the class and they did a fantastic job at the recital, dancing to "Good-bye". Makayla is very much looking forward to dancing again next year!

Makayla's First Communion

Makayla celebrated her First Holy Communion on May 23, 2010. It was such a beautiful day and Makayla looked absolutely gorgeous in her communion dress. We were joined by most of our family and a couple friends, both at the church and then at our house after mass. Thanks to all for the beautiful gifts that they gave to Makayla, and also just for coming and celebrating this special day with us!

Easter 2010

Easter this year was a lot of fun for Makayla and Nicholas! They went to their Gramma and Grampa's house on Good Friday where, much to their surprise, there were chocolate eggs hidden around the house! They and their cousins, Connor and Christopher, did a very good job finding then all. On the Saturday we went to Ellen's house for dinner. Makayla and Nicholas had a blast playing with Ruby! On Sunday, they woke up to find that the Easter Bunny had left them lots of candy hidden in eggs around the house. Makayla and Nicholas had such a great time finding the eggs and then opening them to see what yummy stuff was hidden inside. Another fun-filled Easter!
