Quinten's Last Soccer Match

Quinten has easily been the best player in his league up until today when he came up against an opponent with the same zeal and drive as himself.

SWIM LESSONS BEGIN

CHALKDUSTER COTTAGE

Wenda and I were invited to a BBQ of family and friends of David and Sharon Staples, close friends of ours. It was a perfect day of warm weather with occasional breezes. Good food and good company - what more could you ask for? We thank our friends David and Sharon for sharing their bounty with us. Click here to see some more pics of the fun at the cottage. 

Find Me 39 Years Ago

A friend of mine, Sudsy, was married 39 years ago, and I was there in Hawkesbery, ON for his wedding. He sent me this picture today. Can you find me in the picture? Have I changed much?

Our Anniversary

We have known each other for nearly 19 years and married for the last 16. Wenda's parents took us out to dinner in Lindsay for our anniversary tonight. The best thing that ever happened to me is meeting Wenda in university. I am indeed the lucky one. Thanks to Ken and Doreen for taking us to Hobarts - a great steak house.

A Busy Day 4 Kids

A few blocks away from our place is a nice little neighborhood park with a splash pad and some playground equipment. We took the grandkids out there this afternoon for a little fun. Later on it was time for the practice session of Aiden's house league team, and to top the evening - it was Frank's birthday today. Click here to see more pics.
