2006...Affectionitly known as the year of …2006 in this household. Life changes, life stays the same and there was a little of both this year.
On the how we make money to buy food front, Anne continues to be employed at the Chesley hospital. After a long hiatus from continuing education she traveled once weekly to complete a course in patient assessment. Luke continues to be an executive within the home focusing Maya. This time at home has also allowed him the opportunity to hone his culinary skills by regularly providing excellent well balanced tasty meals to our family. When time allows he acts as a technical consultant, working on individual and small businesses computers. God continues to direct him towards full time employment.
Maya continues to grow and develop to be her own person with a unique personality. She has worked hard at learning to express herself verbally, letting us know her likes and her dislikes. She likes babies, dolls, kitties, books, gymnastics, slides, parks. Her love of babies was demonstrated on Halloween by dressing up as one. Her dislikes include mushrooms, swings, and brushing her hair. Maya is now fully potty trained, has a fully head of curly hair, and the most vivid imagination possible. She is looking forward to starting swimming lessons whenever we sign her up for them.
New to our household this year are Mango and Carrots, orange tabby cats. While they keep us awake with their insane playing, they are also cuddlers of which we have never had. Maya is quite fond of her brothers and demonstrates her love rather physically. She only has a few minor scratches. Another family member was added- a furnace. The 25years+ model finally reached its limit, Unfortunately it was February when it did so.
Anne’s newest hobby is leaving the house at all hours of the day, in rain, snow, and boiling heat to go running. For some reason it was the year to get in better shape. To demonstrate to the world her new found talents she competed in several local races such as the Wiarton’s Shore to Shore, the Sauble Beach road race, Chesley’s Community Classic, and the Kincardine Woman’s dualathalon. Respectable finishes in all of them even with incredibly hot weather. To complete well in the dualathalon a new Trek hybrid bike was needed, which Anne loves. Luke continues to mountain bike and bought a bike trainer for indoor exercise during the winter. We play soccer together, both indoor and outdoor, which is something we enjoy a great deal.
This year has been tough on some of our family members. Anne’s father fell off of a roof in February and suffered a basilar skull fracture requiring extensive rehabilitation. We said goodbye to Anne Poppa Cramp and Luke’s Grandma Bellamy. The both had lived long lives. Our beloved beta fish felix was ate by the cats. We hope he tasted good.
Have a Merry Christmas and Fabulous 2007
