Connor's 6th Birthday and other June happenings

On June 17th, my sweet little Connor turned 6. Here are some pictures from the big day.

As you can see, he really likes soccer. He's on a community U6 team this spring called the Blue Lightning and he absolutely loves to play. He's definitely a competitive kid and you can see it when he gives it everything he's got in every game, running hard and fast the whole game to try and score as many goals as he can (we're working on passing...). He's also a very fierce goalie when it's his turn to be in net, he's not one of those kids who gets bored or distracted in net, he's always got his eye on the ball.

Right after Connor's birthday, we celebrated Father's Day. Here's Jess after we brought him lunch in bed (none of us, including him, are interested in waking up early enough to do a fancy breakfast in bed on a morning with 9:00 church!)

The kids worked hard on some artwork for Jess which I printed out onto an iron-on fabric transfer and then ironed onto a black t-shirt for him.

And these are some shots from a Sunday afternoon walk to our favourite neighbourhood green spot, Muskrat Pond.
