Birthday Blessings

On July 24th, 3 years ago, a blessing named Maria came into our lives. I took her to City Streaks (a salon in Cobourg). We got our hair done together. It was so much fun. As for Maria's party, we celebrated Ariel Style. She absolutely loves "The Little Mermaid", so that was our theme. Maria's Aunts, Uncles, Grandma's, Grandpa and close friends joined us and we had a wonderful time. She received many beautiful and thoughtful gifts. The only hitch in the day was the fact that her Uncle Scott and Opa were not there. Both were missed. Uncle Scott called her to wish her a happy birthday and Opa was watching from up above...

Scott and Kathryn's Visit

For the July first holiday Scott and Kathryn came to visit us from Calgary. We went to the 1000 Islands on the boat for a few days. This was a lot of fun because both families (Scott and Kathryn's) were all together. This location means a lot to all of us. About 16/17 years ago both families met for the first time on the boat and got along really well. And now of course Scott and Kathryn are married. We also celebrated Scott's 25th birthday and took a trip to the Peterbrough Zoo.

Relay For Life

On June 5th, our team participated in the Relay for Life. This was our third year and with the help of many we were able to raise $7000 for the Canadian Cancer Society. Our team was made up mostly of Dad's family. This was an emotional day as we remember Dad and think about the hard fight he had with cancer. It was a blessing to have him in our lives. Loosing him gives us more motivation then ever to raise as much money as we can, so others will win the fight! Thank you to everyone who supported us!
