Huron Laker's Basketball 2016

I'm squeezing one last post into 2016!  At the end of November we finished off our basketball season with the Huron Lakers.  Moving into this more competitive league definitely pushed Brenna on her basketball skills.  She continues to grow in her abilities and I'm so proud of the effort she puts out on the court!  Here's a quick video of her 2016 season!

Family Portraits 2016

As much as I love pictures, I've done a terrible job of regularly scheduling family portraits.  I originally intended to do family portraits every two years.  I managed this for 2007, 2009, and 2011.  It was a good run while it lasted.  Since I've now skipped 5 years, I was determined to have family portraits taken this year.  My original thought was to have pictures taken in the snow to remember our time here in Sarnia, but truth be told I'm not exactly fond of winter.  Instead, I decided that something to mark the beautiful falls we've spent here would definitely spark fond memories later in life.  So, one afternoon in October we met up with a photographer at Wawanosh Wetlands Conservation Park and had family portraits taken.

Brigden Fair Field Trip

It's not unusual that I'm very behind on blogging, but for the first time ever, it's not my fault!  Despite having posts lined up all the way back to October, I've been unable to update the blog due to an on-going maintenance issue with my image hosting site.  I'll spare you the technical details, but it's prompted me to invest in a new management system for this blog.  My entire digital profile now rests with the giant Google, so let's hope I put my eggs in the right basket for long term security.

Anyway, way back at the beginning of the school year we took a field trip to the Brigden Fair.  We spent the day touring the barns, visiting the animals, and enjoying several "How To" lectures on farming and agriculture.  The kids had a great time and we came home with lots of corn in our pockets.
