Connor is doing volleyball in his PE class lately and he got into it again.  He often asks Stuart to go practice in the backyard.  Connor is getting quite consistent and good at it according to Stuart.  Connor was happy being placed in team A during inter-classes competition this week; and he was thrilled to share with us yesterday that their team was the best.

     Connor has been asking for an iPhone for a long time as it is more desirable among the school kids.  Finally Stuart assisted Connor finding a good model and he was so happy to come home one school day to open up the Apple box.  He has been so happy with his phone since then.

    Last week Logan told us that he would also use his saving to buy a MacBook.  He has been wanting to get a new laptop to use at school, then last week he announced that he made a decision for a Macbook.  With the help of Stuart, he purchased one from Best Buy, and they both went to the store to pick it up on Friday after school.  Logan loves his new laptop and has been treating it with care.

     For a couple of days, Buddy was quite needy.  He would follow me everywhere, sit under my desk when I was working, and sat next to me when I was in the backyard.  I sure did enjoy having a buddy with me at all times that day.

The tennis season has ended.  Since Connor was in team C, the participation was not significant this year; he had practice with his team just once a week.  Today I dropped Connor off to the season-end party and tournament.  According to Connor, he played 3 games, got himself to the quarterfinal and eventually lost to a close game with a Team A player.  He was happy with that result and had a good time there.

     As always, I would like the family to go golfing with me for Mother’s Day.  Since Connor had a tennis practice on Sunday that I did not want him to miss, so we chose to go on Saturday.  I did not plan ahead, so we did not find an opened tee time for the short course.  Instead we hit at the driving range which was good as we all needed the practice.  The boys seemed quite engaged and we had some good hits.  We also competed a bit and took videos of each other.

Here is our driving range hits.

    On Sunday morning, Connor single-handedly made us waffles for breakfast which were delicious.  I also received cards and a great gift on this day.  It was a great weekend.

    Connor would like to remodel his room, so he had researched and found himself a new desk that he liked.  With the help of Stuart, they moved his bed to a different side of the room, and they put together a new desk together.

With Connor’s inspiration, Logan also wanted to make some changes to his room.  So he, with the help of Stuart, moved his desk in the closet space.  He is quite happy where his desk is now.
