Wow, she's incredible!

Lisa's an absolute gem of a wife, mother, and household cleaner. She taught me how to clean the bathroom tonight. I always wondered why it took so much time but now I know. There were several things she did that I had no idea she did on a weekly basis.

So here's to the best wife a guy could have...

Lisa Taylor

Thanx Lisa, I'll never doubt you again! (Do you believe me?)

We never saw this in Ontario

Apparently this is called "Ice Frost". It happens when there's so much fog and there's so much moisture in it that it comes out as ice crystals. This is on our fence at around noon, and it was gone at 4:30 p.m. I think it was so cool!

Not exactly the NBA

Here's a video of Laura playing in her first ever basketball game for the Cornerstone Christian School Falcons "B" Girls Team. It's mostly Grade 5 and 6's, although we've now played 2 games against teams with grade 7's and 8's. So it's sometimes hard playing seeing our girls play against teams that are literally a foot taller than them. But we know this is a fun league for the kids to learn how to play B'ball. Enjoy the video!

Wow! She did it!

The seconds were ticking away, the first half of the basketball game was almost over. Cornerstone "B" was playing the "A" Empire Tigers and the game was close. Suddenly, with the game on the line, a Cornerstone player steals the ball and runs straight to the basket for a free shot at 2 points. An Empire girl chased after her and there was our Laura following behind. As I sat there enthralled I realized Laura could be in a good position for a rebound. The shot was taken and it missed. Then there was a ball coming down. Laura grabs it! Does she have a chance for a shot??? YES!!! She takes it, but will it go in? It bounces on the rim and for that split second you think it may come out... but it doesn't, it goes in and the crowd goes absolutely crazy, cheering, yelling, whooping it up. We look at the scoreboard, realizing with pride that our daughter has just scored her first basket ever in a game. Lisa and I get teary eyed. The score... it's close but Cornerstone is back in the game.


Empire 20
Cornerstone 2


(But the final score is a little better, Empire 28 Cornerstone 12)

We had a Super Bowl party tonight with about 15 folk here. Our friend Curtis here was sitting beside the picture of Lisa's brother-in-law in California and we decided to take a snap of them side by side. See a resemblance?

Female Grooming

We had a girl's makeover day today. Kathy, who is Aysia & Rayna's mom, is very talented and was the one responsible for making us all feel glamourous & beautiful. This is Kathy working on Courtney's hair while Laura, Aysia & Rayna work on their nails.

The new Laura!

Male Grooming

Not quite as complicated & involved as the grooming we females did today!

Cousins

Goofy Cousins!
