Welcome to our Family Blog

It all started with a telephone call, a few intriguing telephone conversations and a blind date. Howard and Maureen met early May 1991. After a whirlwind courtship we got married in Oct 1997 and so our family started with just the 2 of us.

2009 In Review

I haven't been able to post much on this blog as it's been such a whirlwind of a year. Here's an update on what's been happening with the boys this year.

Josh Ethan & Noah had a great year and we had a great summer with lots of activities. Our favourite things to do were playing in the backyard and hanging with their cousins. We even made it to the beach twice this past summer.


BEACH FUN













BACKYARD FUN





We enjoyed our first 4th of July fireworks celebration and soon after that the boys got the chicken pox...Ouch! It wasn't that bad, they had a mild case and they had cabin fever for 2 weeks...that wasn't fun for Mommy or the boys. We went to the 4H Fair and had lots of fun there.

The boys had the good fortune of getting some speech therapy and developmental therapy for their speech delays. The specilists that were assigned to us were such nice ladies and really helped me with tips on how to deal with the boys. Now they are in preschool everyday and on track for being on par with their peers. They love school and I have to calm Josh down on the weekends as he's so upset that he's not going on the school bus on Saturdays and Sundays.

The boys turned 3 this year and we are all amazed how quickly they have grown.

It's been a great 2009 and we look forward to many memories and great adventures in 2010.
