RIBEIRO

March has flown by before we had a chance to write down our thoughts. Like February the weather has been great up until lately with plenty of sunshine for outdoor activities. Jonas' soccer season officially wrapped up - an outstanding campaign by the young fielder. The sun shown brightly so the kids rode independently often and Nadia and Daddy still ride together to preschool and work regardless of weather. Nadia is closing in on graduation and is looking forward to moving above and beyond. Grandpa Jim kindly swept Jonas off to Kelowna for Spring Break, where he was the first from the Burnaby crew to meet baby Nya. Spring break was full of fun activities for the guy - golfing, bowling, duck feeding, sleepover at Randy and Elaine's, plenty of park and play time with Mattias and the Kelowna crowd. The rest of us followed Jonas to the Okanagan in the final quarter of the break but not before renovating Jonas' room in Canucks colors complete with an official signed Jersey from

February is already done and we had so much fun! Jonas was selected to read at school "Why I love my family..." He then proceeded to tell everyone that it was because we let him play video games. Ouch! He does so many other things too - like math, putting away cutlery from the dishwasher and dressing himself in the morning before anyone else has even woken up. Highlights also include Remy coming to stay with us for a week while his family was away. It was so much fund having little Rems around. Our friends the Covas' came to visit too. We took advantage by buying memberships to Science World and enjoyed it so much we returned a week later. Jonas got a new European haircut to match his fine soccer skills and we welcomed a brand new niece - Nya. Congrats to Drea, Ryan and baby Mattias, David and Gimpy! Nadia's soccer has wrapped up - Jonas' soon. We're looking forward to spring - Spring Break, spring soccer, swimming, biking, basketball, tennis, lacrosse - hope
