June.

The weather is getting more and more Okanagan like… hotter and hotter!! Brice is continuing to bike his little brains out in the neighbourhood, hitting jumps wherever possible, as long as they were near the house! Last thing we need is a boy crawling home from a couple blocks away with a broken leg after hitting a jump that was too big!! It probably WILL happen… all we can do is make sure he is close to home when it does!

Early in June, we had a special delivery!! Bryn, such a silly, strange dog… Bre was sat at the computer doing James’ books, and dropped two baby quail at her feet! One of them unfortunately did not make it due to what was thought to be a broken neck. The other one, named Kamikaze (from jumping out of a tree), was sweet as could be, and was well taken care of – fed every couple hours and kept warm under a heat light upstairs in the living room. He developed a chest infection of sorts, and within hours, after a few tears by both Bre and Brice, was buried in the back yard by Brice.

And, finally, Brice is finally finished grade 3!! He is so happy and relieved to be out of school! Bre and James were extremely proud of him for his much improved report card, due mostly to his extra effort reading and listening, and very little sugar in his diet! The loss of sugar was hard on him at first, but as he became more and more aware of the effects it seemed to have, he was happy to be more stable and normal without it! He seems to have an intolerance to it and it turns him into this hyper-active little monster! He is much more predictable and easier to deal with now without it!!
