Yes, I know it’s already January 13th. I’m a bit late on my first post of the new year. 🙂
The last few months have been rather hectic. Plenty going on. And yes, I have neglected our blog for far too long. For that, I apologize.
So, to get everyone up to speed, here’s what we’ve been up to.

October: Plenty of good times. We checked out “Touch a Truck” in Niagara. We celebrated Noah’s 5th birthday. We visited Bry-Anne Farms in Fenwick, Ontario. The kids had a blast! And of course Halloween was fun.
November: Not much to report… Got ready for Christmas. Kept busy with work and play.
December: Busy month. We started the month with a sick household. We think that the cold/flu/whatever it was hit us early this year, affecting all of us at one time or another. Katie seemed to keep healthiest – I suspect that her daily CF treatments helped keep her lungs clear, and thus, helped to keep her healthy as well.

We had a special Christmas this year as well. We went to Ottawa to visit with my sister Stacey’s family: Stacey, Paul, Ben & Max. They have a bit of a hobby farm at their place. Needless to say the kids loved it. They even got to feed some sheep!
From there, we went to Julie’s extended family Christmas, which was hosted by Julie’s Uncle Steve and Aunt Ingrid in Ottawa this year. We had a great time there as well. Plenty of family time and we got out to see the Museum of Civilization in Hull, Quebec as well.
Which brings us to January. Plenty going on now as well. I’ll update more on that in my next post. Watch for that post within the next couple of days.
And yes, that book is still on my list. I’m working on it.
Talk soon!
Todd, Julie, Noah, Katie & Riley
