A bit of an update

I will start off with some pictures from today and work backwards a bit. I don't get much time lately to edit and post, but here are a few of my favourites in the last couple of weeks.
Happy CANADA DAY to one and all :) This was our 5 minutes of decorating today with the kids. We went to the parade and had a blast. It was the first parade for our little 2 year old in care! His facial expressions were priceless!
The planes flew overhead again this year in formation. It was hard to get a decent picture of them against such a harsh sky. But you get the point :) This "asian" band was very good. I especially liked the Canada flags on all the bass drums!

Here is the whole crew at the parade, except me of course...I am behind the camera!!!

Sue and Angus were having a bit of fun together before the parade started.

Not sure if many of you know, but Sue, Liz and I have taken up rowing this summer. We joined a program called Row for Heart. We learn to row for 9 weeks then take part in a Regatta in August! We are fundraising for the Heart and Stroke foundation of Ontario. Its very much like the jump rope for heart that the kids do. This is our shell we have had 2 weeks in a row now. Its called the Don Brown. It is the heaviest shell in the fleet. We are a 5 man crew, but only 4 row at a time. I think we are all loving it and learning a great deal.

If you are able to help us out with pledges, please visit https://secure.heartandstroke.ca/faf/donorReg/donorPledge.asp?ievent=310332&lis=1&kntae310332=5A86CB069F4747BE8E0155889B69A5AA&supId=259403870

This a shot of us in the shell rowing past Eric and the kids on the dock. I am in the front, Sue behind me and Liz is the back seat.Liz carrying her oar back to the bomb shelter (converted into the KW rowing club)

And finally an actual picture of me! This is the newest edition to Eric's family. Baby Phoenix was born April 22, 2009. He is the sweetest little thing. I just had too have my baby fix.
