B and I

Thought I would add in a pic we got taken of us at a friends wedding a few weekends ago.

As you can see, we had a great day and both of us (B a little more than me) got some extra sun on our faces. Haven't seen a day like that since. Must be the winter we are about to head into. Booked my ticket to Canada for July today! Will be seeing everyone very soon!

Lovely Weta

Bryce found a weta (big bug, like a cricket, but with longer legs, and oh....so gross!) in his bike glove the other day. Had to take a picture. Bryce freaked out: Imagine reaching into your glove and feeling this...

Eddie the cat, was eyeing it up. Nice feast for her, I suppose.

The girls...

Here's a pretty shot of my team. This is a picture of them at the Regionals. They came 2nd. May be why they're smiling so much!

No Mans Land

One of my friends took this picture somewhere over in Europe.

BUSY BUSY BUSY

Been hassled by everyone to update this so here goes. Had a great Frisbee golf game yesterday and actually pulled off 2 birdies, and got a par overall for the second 9 holes!! Whoo hoo!
I've been away with 20 students down in Christchurch at the Volleyball Nationals and had a bad case of vomiting and diarrhea rip through alot of the team. I, luckily, kept clear of it, but it was bad to a point that I had a hard time getting enough girls to fill the court! Crazy week!

oops...

Hey guys, Had a great weekend at a Beach Volleyball Tournament with some students. The day was fabulous and although I covered myself in sunscreen.....I missed some spots. Check out the mistake.....

It about time!

I have not been able to add anything for a while, but decided it was important to keep updating this. Just had a chance to see some pic's from Tim's wedding which were nice to see. Can't wait to see the video.
Doing some beach volleyball training with some of the girls from school, mosaicing a table, doing school work and trying to become an official resident of NZ. Thats pretty much what I've been up to. After the cycle tour, anyway!

I'm done!

Finished my other job as a marker today and after 1400 exams, give or take a few, I can now begin my summer/Christmas vacation.

Frisbee Golf

This is a great sport and I fully recommend trying it if you haven't yet. Same rules as golf, but instead of hitting a small ball into a hole, you throw a specialized frisbee (or disc) into a basket-like target. If you are interested in having a round, and you are in Toronto, let me know and I will get you in contact with Lawrence, Robyn's boyfriend. He's always keen for a game. There are two courses in T.O. I know about, one on Toronto Island and another in town, near the airport. I actually sunk a 23 metre putt the other day. It was very exciting. Hey, no laughing. You can win big bucks in the U.S. at the Disc Golf Champs. One day maybe.....

Our little hunter

Well, Eddie has finally proved her "cathood" and followed her instincts. She brought me a "gift" of a live bird into the kitchen the other night. I was obviously an ungrateful recipient and put it back outside. I feel that she thought I didn't understand that it was a gift, so she ran back outside, and for the next 2 hours she mauled this bird. Then she presented the gift back to me later on, in a different state. I was still ungrateful and locked her out until she arrived at the door, with the dead carcass hanging out of her mouth. Yummy!

More pics

This is from Jill's patio as well. So awesome to see the ladies again while I was at home. I had a great talk with Amy in Oz the other night too. Sounds like she is getting some good relaxing down before she heads home and back to the working world.

Promotion

Hey,
Just got offered and accepted the position of Year 9 Dean for next year. Yeehaw! Big responsibility, but also great experience. Looking forward to it!

Wonder if they know what they are getting themselves into...

The Mccords

This is a picture we took on our visit through Barrie to see Juls, Jarrod and their beautiful little girl Jada. Jada had a great time playing with any jewellery she could find. Hope she goes through that phase quickly, Juls!

Patio pic

This is from Jill's rooftop patio, downtown Toronto. Lo-lo, Robyn Mel, me, Jill and Bryce. Another great night on our trip.

Heather and Kip's wedding

Heather looked so beautiful that day. It was a perfect sunny day, and catching up with everyone was awesome. We got to see some deer hanging around on the golf course at this resort, in the afternoon as well.

CK, RG and B at Heather's wedding

Heather and Kip's wedding was in Northern Ontario, on a beautiful lake. She arrived by boat, with her parents and the ceremony was right on the dock/jetty.

Grandpa and Nisha, reading together
