Hello All - it has been almost a full year since Jenn & I have placed an update on our website - But I think it is time to change that.  Alot has happened since our last update in June 2007, including the following:

 

Jenn & I are going to be proud parents of a 2nd child in early July

Todd & Monica had a gorgeous little girl, Sarah, last December

I have lost over 40 pounds since Oct 2007

Jenn has gained over XX pounds during her pregnancy

Jenn and I purchased a trailer for our summer weekends & vacations

Pat Whalen & Mike Murdock are going to be fathers (yes folks, that is not a typo)

Kari & Laurnet FINALLY moved into their new condo (and used the Hot Dog maker)

Wanda & Phil have survived another crazy winter in Barrie

Chris Willerton has been kicked out of another hockey league

Donny Gillingham has been on several vacations, without his wife & family (keep them going Donny, you make the rest of the husbands look great!)

 

 

And although the list above seems like alot has happened since last June, this is only a small fraction of what has gone on since last June.  Therefore, Jenn & I will resume the use of this website to keep everyone informed on all the action in this crazy game of life.

 

Have a great day and check back often

I know some of you have given up on our Blog, but we're back with LOTS to catch up on.  However I am going keep it relatively short and let the pictures do most of the talking.  Please check out the photos of Our Belfast Trip, The Redmond Reunion, The Cottage Trip, Rayna's First Birthday, Nova Scotia, and Ethan Haywards "Birth"day.  Just click onto the corresponding album.  I will also post an album with some of my favourite pics from the last few months that include Fathers Day, The Trailer, Wonderland and the Orange Day Parade in T.O.

 

I promise to post another update soon!

 

 

 

 

Ok.... so it's been a while since the last update. We've been very busy and so much has happened.

Rayna enjoyed her first Easter with family and friends.  The Easter Bunny visited and left a basket with lots of goodies.  At the end of April Rayna, my mom, and I flew over that pond we call the Atlantic and Rayna got to meet her Great-Grandparents along with other family and friends in Belfast, Northern Ireland.  While in Belfast Rayna started standing with no support.  On our return to Canada Rayna seemed to be on the verge of walking so we ventured out to purchase her first pair of walking shoes.  We also opened up the trailer the May long weeekend and we all had a great time despite the weather.  The most exciting news however is that just after Rayna turned 11 months, she put those shoes to good work as she started walking!  Each day as her balance gets better she is walking farther without falling.

 

Its hard to believe our little girl is going to be 1 year on June 25th...where has the time gone?

 

Please enjoy the pictures for April and May.  I will post a seperate photo album in the near furture of our trip to Belfast and the Redmond Reunion.  So stay tuned!

Hello all,

 

Rayna has just recently gone to bed - so we figured we would post a blog and add some new photos of Rayna. 

 

Lots has happened in March - there were several birthdays (Jenn - 29, my mom - 57, Kendra - 27) and a couple anniversary's (my parents Ellen & Warren & Aunt Pat/Uncle Ernie - both 32 years).  Rayna had her 9 month doctor appointment and everything went well.  She weighed 17.8 lbs and 28 inchs long.  However, our poor little girl got very ill with the flu for a few days after that.  Five days later she was back to normal, eating well, laughing, playing and lets not forget that little temper.  Rayna is crawling all over the Condo, she loves her baths in the big tub, she enjoys her swimming, she stands no problem, she is eating more new foods and has started on table foods .  Rayna also walks easily with her car walker and around all sorts of furniture or with mommy & daddy holding her.  She still has only the 2 teeth, but lots of promise of more to come.  

 

Enjoy the March pics, but come back soon as we'll post the April update shortly.
