And the Beat goes on...and on...and on...

Hello everyone. I hope you are all doing just as well as we are. Angie has been really busy at work getting the day to day operations at the new medical clinic on Broadway stabalized as well as performing her normal managerial duties at the clinic on Main. Kolton is still in hockey and enjoying it although he seems to be interested in pushing snow around as much as he is interested in chasing the puck. His fifth birthday is on Thursday so we are excited about that. However, we are also a little stunned that he will be in school in the fall. Where does time go? Jayden is fully potty trained (finally) and doing really well. He is exceptionally strong and not entirely gentle although he seems to be more of a lover than a fighter. The quote "Tell me about the Rabbits George!" comes to mind on occassion. As far as I go, I am still enjoying work and coaching. Our hockey team is in the middle of a successful season and my students are very enjoyable. Overall, it is rewarding to work with good kids everyday at the rink and at school. Also, Angie and I will be going to Mexico over Spring Break. Her hard work earned her a paid vacation courtesy of her boss. The gift was for two weeks but I was unable to get the time away from work to go for both. She may have a friend join her for a week but that remains to be seen. Anyways, I hope that everyone's life is as good as ours. Despite some ups and downs we are really fortunate and happy. Keep checking back.

One week of holidays too go!!

Hello All,
This is going to be a short posting wishing everyone a Happy New Year. I hope everyone had as much fun as we did. Garth and I shared our New Years Eve with Graham and Krista, Mitch and Tara, and Greg and Kate. The boys were tucked into thier beds and never woke up once. We had really nice time with everyone.
Christmas also treated us all really well, I am still trying to find room for all of the boys goodies.
I am off work this week, well as Garth would say I not physically at the clinics but still putting in 8 hours a day from home. I can't help it, I love my job. Ok it is just a little busy and is to hard for me to part with it. I will learn one day that I can take a week off with out checking my emails or answering my phone.

Kolton and Jayden are doing great. Kolton is still loving hockey. He was in his frist tournament yesterday and you could say by the end he was little tired. The last 2 minute shift he had he went back to doing log rolls and snow angels on the ice. But at least he had fun RIGHT?
Jayden is doing great at potty training. He has now gone 3 days without an accident. He is interested in the toliet which is good news because before Christmas he could care less about it. We are very proud of him and will be glad when it is all over and we do not have to by diapers.

Ok this turned out to be a little longer then I tought. I wish you all the best in the year 2006.
Love you all,
Angie
