We took possession of our new home on Aug 18, but it did not come without some stresses. The deal for the sale of our house collapsed the week before after the buyers backed out, alleging that they did not have the financing. This resulted in us having to re-do our plan with our bank because we initially had a bridge loan based on the … Continue reading Moving to our New Home: Aug 2017

Near the end of October, Philip, Stephanie, Shelby and Auntie Joyce came to see us. This was such a special visit since it was not too long ago that Melissa and I used to make the trek up to visit Aaron & Chantale and their kids Philip, Stephanie and Lucas. When I started making those trips, Philip was about the same age as Abby is … Continue reading Visit from Philip, Stephanie, Shelby & Auntie Joyce: Oct 21, 2017
In June of last year, I came down to Peterborough to visit my new school (Prince of Wales) and Melissa came down to go to Beer Fest with her brother Shawn.

They had music, food and most importantly great Ontario Beer for them … Continue reading Beer Fest: June 10, 2017
At the end of November and in mid-January, Mama & Papa gave me their tickets to the Petes game. I took Aiden to the game in November and Abby to the game in January. At the game, I made sure to “as per Mama’s request” get the kids treats at the game. We also got to see the elderly lady who stands up after each … Continue reading Peterborough Petes Game
On November 19, Melissa took the kids up to watch the Santa Clause Parade in Lakefield. They were joined by Sandra, Ming, Chloe & Owen. After the parade, I joined them for dinner at the restaurant. I cannot remember why I was not at the parade, but I know it was something unavoidable. Continue reading Lakefield Santa Claus Parade: Nov 19, 2017
In June of 2017, when Abby was in Grade 5 she qualified for the regional track & field meet against other schools in her area. She qualified for the 800m race. The nice thing about the race is that it was just down the street from my school, so I was able to attend during my lunch break and watch her race. Melissa was also … Continue reading Abby @ Track & Field: June 2017
For Victoria Day, we travelled to Peter & Julie’s place in Bethany and spent the weekend.

When we we had a family dinner on Saturday evening in Bethany we shred the good news … Continue reading Victoria Day in Bethany: 2017
What would our blog be if we did not include some pics of Marley & Lindy once in a while. Included in these pics are some of Uncle Shawn & Auntie Megan’s dog Ernie who came to stay with us a few times during the fall to rest since he was not doing well in his old age and it was hard for him to … Continue reading Marley & Lindy: 2017
In May 2017, we went to William’s 8th birthday. Rachel & Melissa had purchased Minecraft t-shirts for the boys and Team Unicorn shirts for the girls. At the time, William and Aiden were really into playing Minecraft. They spent the afternoon there playing games and enjoying some cake and pizza. It was a little bittersweet because they knew that next year at this time, we … Continue reading William’s Birthday May 2017
