Day 365 - 2010!!!

We had a girls day out and went and saw Tangled. We missed the first 3 minutes and had to sit in the first row but otherwise I LOVED it! It is definitely one I will see again. And it was a lot of fun to just go out with the girls.

...then Diane and I ran the Resolution Run through the Running Room. It is a 5km run around the lake. I think I have run once or twice since Mitchell was born (I tend to be a fair weather runner) but I managed to do this without stopping. Bring on the New Year! Of course we then went home and had Chinese food and relaxed with Melissa and the other guys.

Day 352 - 2010

We had a great re-connect with our moms and baby group for our 8th annual Christmas get-together. Has it really been 8 years? For us it has been 7 since we missed the first one (I think we were in TBay?). Anyway, it always seems to be a struggle to get there but once we are there we have a great time. As usual, Martina was a very gracious host, the food was great and Santa was totally generous. I'm glad that the kids still get along well even though they don't see each other all that often. I miss getting together regularly with the moms though!

Day 339 - 2010

We went to our friend's house for dinner tonight which started with a game of driveway hockey. The kids (and adults) all have such a good time together.

Since we were last here, they acquired a new pet. I was impressed that Marlee would try holding it. We loved to watch it eat it's meal worms. Drew was not so impressed and wouldn't go near it. They even had to put a cover on it for dinner time. Wuss!

Day 314 - 2010

We had a visit with Steve tonight! He's home from Alaska to visit his dad who had a heart attack last week (who btw is recuperating well - just readjusting to the changes he has to make). We had a great visit and loved hearing tales from their last visit to India!

Day 308 - 2010

Grandpa came by the school to pick up the kids so they could shop for Samaritan's Purse Christmas boxes. While there he had a go on Matt's scooter. Go Grandpa! We joined up with them later for dinner at the mall and then went on to the City Hall where a friend of ours was displaying her art, along with her grandmother. Apparently anyone can put their work on display for a month at a time. It was really neat to see her creations - she has done a great job!

Day 307 - 2010

Cindi was due for another visit today!

Day 207 - 2010

Marlee, Cierra and Mitchell and I checked out a "new to us" park/ beach with Diane and her crew today. The beach was great and the water was gorgeous once in for a few minutes. I'm so glad we took the time to go, even though it was only for an hour.

Day 183 - 2010

We spent a great day out on the water with Clark and his girlfriend.

Day 157 - 2010

Our first day at Great Wolf Lodge and the kids were very impressed. Poor Drew was on supervision as I sat behind with Mitchell.

Day 150 - 2010

Run Drew run! Do you think he gets tired of hearing that? He and Glenn successfully completed the Ottawa half marathon in 1 hour 48 minutes. Way to go guys! Awesome!

Day 110 - 2010

Kristy treated me to a pedicure! I think it has been a few years since I have had one done. What a treat. BTW - documenting A Week in the Life. More posted at forsuchatimeasthis...

Day 108 - 2010

We got free tickets from the school to see a variety/ magic show at the college. We gave some other tickets to a few friends and watched the show together. It was quite entertaining for us all - kids and adults alike - and a fun way to spend the afternoon together. One of those things that you really aren't sure if you want to go to but ends up being a good time. Thank goodness!

Day 107 - 2010

We were a little late in getting out of the house but we made it out to the lunch sitting (pancakes and sausages) at the Elmvale Maple Syrup Festival. It was well worth the wait - and the company was pretty good too =)

Day 103 - 2010

Matt donned his goalie gear and took on the boys.

Day 102 - 2010

Our neighbours had their baby - a girl named Josie - and their lawn was decorated with the big stork, flamingos and other caricatures. I'm sorry I missed the photo op!

Day 93 - 2010

We joined friends at the church for a road hockey game and then headed to Mac's for frosties.

Day 72 - 2010

We had a bit of a reunion at Kim and Kerry's tonight - and took on some Wii dance program. It was actually a lot of fun and some good exercise. Go Drew Go!

Day 66 - 2010

We each had to have another Beaver Tail (our second of the weekend) before we left - even though they were $5 each! Scrumptious!

Day 30 - 2010

We met early for small group and the kids took advantage of the ice rink near our friend's house. Marlee didn't last that long but Matt enjoyed playing some hockey (that is until the other side was winning -we are still working on teammanship obviously). As for us moms, we got to keep warm in the house.

Day 23 - 2010

we had small group at our house tonight and Drew found himself answering questions with a young friend about our sink plumbing and the workings of our water filter.
