Welcome back :-) I find it rather sad that it's been more than a month since my last blog. However, life has been hectic - in a good way :-)

We had March Break where we had my nephew Whalen, my niece Cora, their dad Anthony and his girlfriend Liz down for a visit. We also attended my cousin Diane's baby shower as well as a visit with our friends in Courtice. It's been rather hectic - but fun!

School is going well. I spent about 18 hours working on report cards at the end of March and have started my final term with my grade 6 and 7 students. I know that I'm a candidate to be hired by the School Board that I'm currently working for, but we haven't heard whether or not there is a job for me. We're still waiting....

Here are some pictures, in no particular order....


Karen and I smiling for the camera! It's been a year since we were in Teacher's College together!

Mike has started he seedlings in our basement. We're part of a community garden and he and Lily are already on top of things!

It's been almost ten years since we met and we still love each other :-)

The baby shower wiped her out.
