YES, Raine got into The Claude Watson School for the Arts!!! This school is so different from any other schools in Canada. They teach academic and artistic study. Their half of each school day is devoted to academics and the other half is for arts subjects such as dance, drama, visual arts and music.
Since they focus on arts so much kids have to have auditions to get in(they want to make sure they take kids that are truly interested in arts!). Raine's auditions were in February and March(2 days, 4 hours each!). The kids had so much fun auditioning because it was all about showing your creativity!
We were very anxious to find out the result and we finally received the letter today. Rain IS in!!! Raine is excited just because he gets to wear uniform to school from September!
やったー、レインが学校に受かった！と言うのは新しい学校の事。「The Claude Watson School for the Arts」と言って名前の通りアートに力を入れている学校である。
12月に必要な書類を提出し、2月と3月に4時間x2日間でオーディションに行ってきた。親はもちろん入れず子供だけのオーディション。女の子30人、男の子30人しかとらないのでアート（演劇、音楽、ダンス、ビジュアルアート）に興味がある子を選ぶ為のオーディション。
4月上旬に結果が手紙で来るとわかっていたので、ダニエルと毎日郵便物をチェックしては「まだかー」と。そしてとうとう今日結果が手紙で届いた。そして見事合格！レインに知らせると大喜びしていた。でもレインの喜んでる理由は9月からユニフォーム着て学校に行けるかららしい... ネクタイして学校に行くのがじじがスーツ着て会社に行くのと同じようで真似できるから嬉しいみたい。
Raine, Marco and Eric got picked from the Parkdale Flames for the 2009 All-Star game! Raine was just thrilled to be part of it even though it was 32 degrees outside!
All Aboard!

Don't say anything, this is our second one!
After all Daniel and I decided to give it a try for a year! Can't imagine how busy we'll get from September though. Raine is switching schools, playing hockey 4-5 times a week... But hey, Raine is the one who made the decision(we'll support him of course!). We just said to him that school comes first no matter what.
Raine had an audition a couple of weeks ago(can't remember what it was for...Raine didn't get it!). This is the picture that I took when Raine was waiting for his name to be called in. Take a good look at this picture! Who do you see??
Live music!

Raine had another sleepover tonight! We were supposed to have just Marco but Raine invited 2 other friends, Daniel and Tristin. It turned out to be the biggest sleepover ever for us! I actually didn't mind it because I know they are all good kids(which means they listen to what I say!).

This is Raine's select team!
Very disturbing...
It's my dad's birthday today! He turned 60!!!!! Since we can't be there to celebrate we ordered a suprise gift for him! I think he liked a lot!
