Remembering Mema 1926 - 2009

1. Mema's 80th Birthday, May 2006
2. When we visited this past August, just after 420 Bishop Street was sold
3. Tim and Anna's wedding (2003). I don't have any digital photos of our wedding!

I'm not going to write too much right now or I'll just start crying. Mema had a wonderful life and wonderful family. Ten great-grandchildren - that says it all! I am so happy Mema got to meet Grace and the boys.

Grace's Baptism

Grace was baptized today in a lovely service by Uncle Dan at St. Basil's Church. Grace's proud godparents are Dan's cousin Patricia O'Callaghan and her son Dan. When I see these pictures of Grace and her Dad I have these flashes way into the future...white dress and all. Has anyone watched the new show FlashForward?

Outside pictures

We did manage to spend some time outside at the cottage. Here we have pictures of each of the kids with Buck Lake providing a scenic back drop. I've also included a picture of Liam from Thanksgiving 2002. My how he's changed in seven years.

Happy Thanksgiving!

So thankful for both our families, good health, delicious food, a cozy home, a wonderful husband and 3 beautiful children.

8 Months!

Grace is 8 months! (HELP! We need to stop the time...my little girl is growing too fast!) She's talking up a storm, enjoying lots of new foods, working on her top teeth and still trying to get her bum up to crawl. Grace is cuter than ever...even at 3 in the morning.

We were planning to go apple picking yesterday but it was too cold and rainy. I really wanted to take a photo of Grace in the pumpkin patch, but we'll have to settle for this photo on our porch with the pumpkin Luke brought home from his farm trip.

Aside from the weather yesterday, I really love this time of year - especially when the sun is out. There are so many little things to be thankful for: the cool morning walks, the leaves changing colour, hockey season and of course, pumpkin pie!
