20 words for the past while

By | December 2, 2009

It’s been a long, long time since I’ve done this and my memory is fuzzy but….

– won our league ending golf tournament by shooting 1 over. Raked in some nice prizes including GPS, golf jacket and cash
– won the fantasy baseball league in a tight race.
– watched Olivia progress through her first few months of school. Wow
– watched Christien star walking waaaayyyy too early (11 months). That boy is a lean machine. And strong!
– moved my Mom out of my childhood home. Were some sad moments walking through it and around the property. Also sad at times throwing away memories – the new condo doesn’t have enough room for everything. Once settled into new place by the river, not sad anymore. Don’t have any desire to drive by the old place at all.
– went to a lot of Jays games with the kids. Once with Luc as well. Gotta love that Spaghetti Factory!
– basement finished and loving it! Got the dart board up last weekend. We spend most of our play time down there. Especially just before bed to get the yaya’s out.
– replaced old CR-V with new RAV-4. I miss the old girl. But not that much.
– swimming lessons, swimming lessons, swimming lessons. These kids will be fishies
– The annual cottage trip in Sept. Finally a warm weekend there. Also discovered the baseball pool website is accessible via mobile browser.
– Halloween: Christien in the same BumbleBee costume as OG was: they might as well be twins when you compare pictures. Had a blast watching Olivia go door-to-door with her friend Sydney.
– going through the first true round of both kids being sick and on antibiotics. Oh man, that was rough. 2 words: Chocolate sauce.
– trip to North Bay. Been a while
– Kaastra’s wedding
– did not play baseball for the first time. Helped my golf game reach new and improved heights. It’s all about putting in the time, really, it is.
– enjoyed summer mainly at home watching the kids grow. Got a climber in the backyard courtesy of Willie and Pam.
– garden wasn’t as bountiful this year thanks to cold and awkward weather. Tomatoes were a bust as were my scotch bonnet peppers. Some highlights were abundant leeks, onions and for some reason the green peppers. Zucchini was outrageous. I don’t think we should grow so many next year. Gotta rotate crops next year too.
– new bicycle for Olivia. she’s on trainers now. Also loves her little scooter. So does Christien. Funny to watch as he stands solidly on the scooter while I push him around. Gets very angry when it’s time to stop. He has a temper that one.

Sonia, anything else to mention?
