My first born, and my favorite son!!! Born April 26th,1977. Oh what joy Michael has brought to Bill and I. He was a fun little boy, always ready to help, play legos ( still does), and read books together ( remember the Indian in the Cupboard) He excelled in everything that he tried..especially on the soccer field and basketball courts. He is well read, and has many interesting ideas about life. He served the Lord for two years in France, and now teaches French in the South shore of NS....he is a devoted husband to Keah and a terrific Dad to adorable Finley and Emmy!
April 26th 1979....we welcomed Kathy to the clan. A second birthday gift for Michael ( the novelty of the gift wore off a bit through the years!!LOL) It did not wear off for this mother....a daughter...a happy, bubbly,laughing little girl. She captured the hearts of us all with her mischievous grin, and playfulness. She loved her dolls, and trying to keep up with her big brother. She has always been surrounded by many friends, and her personality invites people to want to be with her. She is talented with many areas of her life...from the piano, to the kitchen,to sports, to crafts...but above all as the mother of five beautiful children. She has worked hard to be a stay at home mom and I am soooooo deeply proud of the mom that she is.
May 6th 1983 to our delight, we welcomed our second beautiful daughter to this world. Michael momentarily mourned, and Kathy cheered to have a little sister. Karen gave us more sports to attend, Summer Fun club for kiddies, retail wisdom, and then last but not least...another school teacher was born!! Karen has always had a passion to work with children, and even though the job market is tough she has been making a strong impression in many local schools as a substitute teacher. This mom is very proud of her creativeness, organizational skills, and her very very caring nature. She has friends around the globe, and is best friends with her siblings and a special auntie to many!!
May 2nd.1989 was the grand finale...and grand she is. Laura completed our little family....and we couldn't have been more excited to welcome her to our home. She was an adored little sister and ready to hit the soccer field in her first few weeks ( in the carriage!!) She followed her siblings to both soccer and basketball, and added volleyball for good measure. She loves life and fills each day to the brim ( and overflow sometimes) She has brought many special friends to our home, and treasures her relationships dearly. She chose a different vocation in the medical field of xray technology, and has excelled her efforts. She will graduate soon, and then will take her talents to western Canada. She loves to travel, so this move doesn't surprise many. We will miss her so much....but we will work hard to get her back to NS.
She is a thoughtful, caring, sometimes crazy daughter. We love her and we are so glad that she is ours.
My fabulous four.Love them all dearly.
What more could a mother need!!!
