The Week Endeth

June 6-7

Father’s Day has become a wonderful way to get to know more about Ken… asking the questions about his past, his interests and favourites… so much fun! Trinity and Emanuel coloured him a Best Dad Diploma.101_2372

Gavin and Emanuel enjoyed a Dinosaur story together. I absolutely LOVE the picture Emanuel drew for his dinosaur book! That binder is going to be a reference book for us for ages to come!
