Check out the before and after!
















What a great weekend! We were up before the sun on Saturday to get to Toronto in time for the 8 a.m. awards ceremony. I was awarded the Helen G. Mitchell Award from the Ontario Modern Language Teachers Assoctation (OMLTA/AOPLV) In total 11 Faculty of Education students were chosen for their competency in French or International Languages and must demonstrate leadership and great potential for making a difference in the languages field in Ontario schools. I was the recipient of the award for University of Western Ontario ~ a huge honour! So the three of us headed to Toronto, while I was getting my award, Mike and Lily hung out in the hotel's pool! Then Saturday morning we hung out at the St. Lawrence Market then spent the entire afternoon in the Beaches - what a great time. As you can tell from the 'before' and 'after' photos, Lily is now mullet free! She had her first haircut at 20 months old. Saturday night we spent time with Mike's good friend Stephanie and her fiance Robin in celebration of their upcoming wedding in Scotland! Sunday we went to Riverdale farms and Lily fell in LOVE with the horses - she loves horses! We also got to watch a cow being milked, walk with the chickens and talk to the goats!
One of the last photos is of Lily and her 'wounds' from her tumble from the sandbox today at daycare. It's hard to believe that the middle of April has arrived. I leave for France next week while Mike and Lily get to head west to spend time with Mike's family. It's going to be tough leaving Mike and Lily for 19 days, but at least we'll have the blog to keep in touch!

Enjoy your week! PPS
