She's Here!

Baby Brookelyn Eva Brown was born today to Randy and Jennifer Brown at 4:35pm after a long go at it in the hospital in Calgary. We hope to share pictures with you soon. Congrats to the whole crew... nothing much better than a baby at Christmas!

A Wish...

We are all sending out Birthday Wishes to Grandma Winnie today! Hip, Hip, Hooray is far better than Hip, Hip, Replacement! (yes, I made that up myself...) There are so many great things that we have learned from Grandma, it makes it hard to know where to begin! I always knew she loved me, cause she seemed to be individually interested in me. Cards in the mail, matching outfits from The Bay, coming to recitals, etc. you always knew she was a big fan. I always love going to her house for dinner... I love how she cooks. Heck, I'll take 'the squeaky floor' anyday for a yummy dinner from her.
Course she isn't a pushover either. You'd have to wake up pretty early in the morning to pull one over on her. Now Grandpa on the other hand...

I am thankful for all Grandma Winnie has taught me and the example of tradition and dedication that she lives. I am thankful that she loves God and let's that love known.

Three Cheers to you Grandma Winnie! Know one looks better in red than you!

3 Cheers for Ellesse!

Or maybe 23 cheers?! Happy Birthday girl! We love you more than words can say. You bring laughter to our hearts and I can't imagine life without you. Happy Birthday Girl!

HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

Congrats to Bryan and Kelly for hangin' in there for their first year! Their first anniversary maybe wasn't as warm and tropical as Cabo was but hey! Remember Aunt Kathy's quote on her pillow "Happiness is being married to your best friend"

Cheers to you!

Birthday Shout Out!

Break out the cake and ice cream... and coffee too! It's Kathy's Birthday today! Woop Woop! For the entertainment of the evening I'm sure we will have a special musical number by Jill on the kitchen counter singing something loud and off key!

Aunt Kathy, no matter how much the hair styles have changed over the years, you are still the life of the party. We love you and your 'scrabookin' self! Have a day fit for a Queen!

Lest We Forget...

May we always be thankful for those who paid for our freedoms. I say thank you to people like our Grandpa Hargreaves.

In Flanders Fields
By: Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918)
Canadian Army
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

Hallowe'en Revisited...

Here are some Hallowe'en pics. from the Hargreaves 'South Side'... still waiting to hear from Hargreaves 'North Side'... Fun night!
