Awesome weekend

This past weekend was a great weekend.
It started Friday morning with Dylan's graduation from pre-K. It was a special day that was shared with grandparents and Aunt Tracy. Aunt Tracy flew in for the weekend to be Keira's godmother yesterday. The graduating class put on a show for family and Dylan did an awesome job and had absolutely no stage fright. Later that night we went out to dinner with Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt Tracy to celebrate Dylan's accomplishment.
On Saturday Dylan had his last soccer practice of the season and then we attended an end of the season pizza party at his coach's house. It was really nice of them to do this for the kids; they are really nice people. Later that night Dave and I went with Tracy to Sawa for a delicious sushi dinner. The only thing that would have made the evening better would have been if Kevin could have been with us. Next time :)
That brings us to yesterday when Keira was Christened. The day started off quite dreary and I was afraid the rain was inevitable and the 30 (I think it really ended up being about 22 at any one moment) people coming to the party would be stuck inside. But luckily the skies cleared and the sun came out and we had a beautiful afternoon to celebrate the occasion. The party was really great as we got to see some friends we haven't seen in a long time and Tracy got to see some friends and family she hasn't seen in years. The boys had a wonderful time playing with their cousins Jack and Reid (Max and Andrew are too young to run around with the rest of the boys) and I thought it would have been so cool to also see Kaeden and Quinton run around with them---I know the day will come when we will see Dylan, Aidan, Keira, Kaeden, Quinton, Jack, Reid, Max, and Andrew all running around playing.
This morning Tracy stopped by on her way to the airport--okay maybe it wasn't really on her way--to say good-bye to Keira and me; she had said good-bye to the boys the night before because she knew Dylan would be at school and Aidan might not have been here as he was going to the store with Daddy. It was sad to say good-bye but I knew it would only be 4 1/2 months before we saw her again (not 18 months like it was since we saw her last). We are planning a trip out to California this coming November and we cannot wait!!
