Stanley Cup Fever in Nova Scotia!!!
We made the trip to Cole Harbour to take part in the Stanley Cup Parade. August 7th was Sidney Crosby's 22nd birthday and this was the day he chose to have the Cup. It was a good day.

Summer 2009
As the school year came to an end we focused our attention on doing some work around the house. We started with the garage. Insulated and dry-walled and then tried our hands at mudding and taping. Painting was next.
Alexander helping put in the insulation.
After the dry-wall was hung and the first two layers of crack filling.
Duane working on the ceiling. Fun, Fun.
Calli and Hanna Rose priming the walls. Great helpers!

Duane, Calli, Hanna Rose and Alexander in front of the future site of the Harry Potter Ride. We spent this day at Universal Islands of Adventure. A great day.
Calli and Cathy on the Merry-go-round.
Calli driving the jeep. This jeep goes about as fast as the one Duane is building! This pic was taken at Busch Gardens in Tampa Bay. An awesome theme park. Probably our favourite from the trip.
Duane, Alexander and Keith on the Montu Roller Coaster. One of the top roller coasters in the park. Duane being silly, Alexander holding on for dear life.

Soccer Season in Full Swing
Alexander is playing in his second season of competitive soccer. He is playing in the Ontario Eastern Regional Soccer League. He is again playing with Ottawa South United (OSU). This year he is spending half time in net and half time playing out. Dad likes this much better than full time net (last year) but Alexander's passion is full time net. The Power team he is playing for this year have a policy that keepers play one full game in net followed by a full game out. He is doing well at both.
Training on the off day.
Pics from the OSU Festival Tournament. We ended with 1 win, 1 loss, 1 tie.

Here is a picture of Alexander opening a present at his tenth birthday party. Connor, Owen, Jack, Michael, Ben, Alfredo, Daniel, and Adam attended.
I will huff and I'll puff and I blow the candles out! Either that or I will eat everything in one gulp.
Yah it's me, I'm happy. Mmmmmm cake.
