Sarah's grade 8 band concert

Here's Sarah at her grade 8 band concert, playing the flute.  She did really well that night, and even performed a duet!  We are so proud of her, she works really hard at her music.  Go Sarah!

Justin's Caving Adventure

The priest's quorum recently went caving as a weekend activity.  They were lead by their fabulous leaders, and had a great time!  Here they are, after coming out of the Rat's Nest Cave.  Sounds charming, doesn't it?  Justin is in the middle, arms crossed in front.  They look for all the world like Cape Breton Miners, don't they?

Spring has sprung....

Well, guess what we woke up to this morning - an April snowstorm!  We knew it was coming, but it's still discouraging.  We hadn't gotten rid of all the snow from winter yet, and here comes another big dump.  Sigh.  Jeff's face fell when he looked out the window.  He is so sick of winter!  This too shall pass, they've forecast warmer weather for the end of next week. 

In unrelated news, I've started a new blog!  This blog has a purpose - it's all about home and family.  And gardening.  I'm really excited about it, this is an ambitious project for me, and I'm going to do my best to keep to my blogging schedule.  My first intro post was yesterday, and today I did my first home and garden post.  The name of the blog is "Bless This Mess", and the address is http://www.jen-blessthismess.blogspot.com/.  So come on over and check it out!

Happy Birthday Justin!

Happy Birthday Justin!  16 years old today! 

"It was a dark and stormy night....."  Actually it was a dark and stormy night sixteen years ago when Justin made his first appearance.  (He says he can't remember a thing.  I'll never forget!)  Justin's birthday menu:  caesar salad, garlic toast, chicken parmesan, and a big ol' DQ ice cream cake.  Yum.  It's all about the food.


New Year's Eve

Sorry it's been so long since I've posted, what can I say, five children make it hard to sit down at the computer!  Hope everyone is staying warm and safe during this very long winter, I know I'm counting the days until spring arrives.  Here's a picture of our Joshua from New Year's Eve, he sure knows how to be the life of the party.  Rock on Joshy!
