Family Events

Mary. mother of Vanessa ,wife of Number One Son Stephen and grandmother of the beautiful twins you see below is off on an adventure.

Vanessa and James and the twins have moved into their own place in Takoma, Washington with the bare essentials. All their wedding gifts have been here since the wedding.They went to Korea after the wedding with the intent of making money to pay off student loans. They came home shortly after and Vanessa prepared for the twins in Kitchener and James went off to Takoma to make a living.

Vanessa and the twins could not go there to live until they had been processed. It took until the twins were five months old whiich nobody on this side of the continent was complaining about.

Mary has set off on a cross continent journey with a life long friend in a jeep loaded with wedding gifts. They left from Montreal where Patti lives. On the way they passed through the office district of the city and picked up a couple of pristine office chairs at the side of the road They added them to the load. That will be a story to tell in years to come.

Mary has set up a blog. I'm not sure she would want it shared beyond the family so I wont provide the link . Mary is a very private person. But I will keep you posted. And if she says it's O.K. I will provide the link.

Stephen's has his two golden retrievers to keep him company in the house in Kichener.

Adam is on vacation at Sandbanks Provincial Park in Prince Edward County with his parents and sister Robyn. They have been going there since Adam was an infant.Keenan and Aaron are not with them. They are working and saving for a trip to Europe in a few weeks. Keenan's special friend Carey is going along as well.

Adam was in Windsor a couple of week-ends ago for a Special Olympics Baseball event They are a C team. They played with B teams. They didn't win any medals but Adam made a couple of extraordinary plays which I will report in full to you later.

Police Chief Armand La Barge was there representing York Regional Police Department sponsors of Special Olympics in the Region.

The parents group had a Yard Sale at the Church of the Nazarene on Main Street, Newmarket
the Saturday before the trip and raise almost six thousand dollars in a few short hours of work.
It helped to pay for the bus.
