The Marangoni Family Update

By

The Marangoni (Mathews) family is alive and well and living in Stoney Creek. Mark is a "computer geek" with the City of Hamilton. It's a good thing we have him or we wouldn't have mastered the blog. Debbie is a dental hygienist working part-time in Hamilton. Brittany is a ten year old fifth grader who loves to socialize, swim, attend Girl Guides and watch T.V. Nicole is six years old and looks very petite among her grade one classmates. Small but mighty, she loves to mother her brother, do homework and crafts, and sing and dance. Two year old Spencer keeps up surprisingly well with his sisters. He spends a couple of his weekdays teaching Gramma Jackie and Papa Bernie how to play hockey and soccer in their living room.

Since being invited to the blog last week I have been anxiously scouring for updates. I'm either very interested in my relatives or I have a lot of time on my hands. I assure you the latter is not true! It's so nice to be in touch with everyone. Love to all!

Hi Debbie, great to see the family.
I think everyone is curious to see how we are all aging. I know Kevin Ford gets the biggest kick out mentioning my rapidly greying locks. I actually kick him for it.

Hi Deb and family,great to see the family.For the record, Rob's not "greying" , he's whiting.You though look as lovely as ever as do your family.Uncle John would be very pleased that he in a small way was aprtly respponsible for this blog.The only thing its missing that the cookbook had were the quotes or sayings at that bottom of each page.We recently found this one while emptying John's place.

Hi Debbie,

Thanks for the updates! It's great to see everyone. I personaly haven't aged a bit. I still have the body of a 20 year old with ridiculously chiseled abs. Yah...that's right... I just can't find a picture right now to prove it...

Thanks guys! It's great to see all of your beautiful families as well. I think we're all aging quite gracefully. I like your grey hair, Rob. I just wish I liked my own. It would save me a ton of cash! I wasn't ignoring you guys before, I just didn't know how to comment. Mark's got me up and running now.

Deb,
Great pictures. Your kids look sweet. I so enjoyed our chicks night out in Aug. Wouldn't a reunion be a gas? Sorry I couldn't make it to the shower you had for Brian's new wife. I would have liked to have met her. I really did try.

Bochsler Family Update

By
Last week I tried to "encourage" my family to post to this blog. I sent them all TERRIBLE pictures of themselves and threatened to post them here if they didn't post their own. Although they all responded soon enough to my threat, nobody has updated this blog yet. To be fair, this sort of thing is easier for me to do so I'll give a general update on the family. I won't post those nasty pictures just yet, because I'm sure there are some of me floating around and I don't want to start a war. You may remember there are 6 kids, in order of age: Mark, Colleen, Paul, David, Kathleen & Kevin. Hearing it listed like that reminds me of being called for dinner. :) Mom and Dad (Maureen and Al) are both in good health and living in that big house you remember in Ancaster. The house and property itself would look very different to many of you as my Dad's projects have really transformed the place. There are no more big willow trees (and no more treehouse!) :( ...

Remembering Sean

By
The remaining Barrys. This picture was taken at Sean's funeral. Sean's absence is definitely felt. The last time I saw Sean, was about a year ago, the end of March '06. My husband, Brian and I showed up unannounced at his place and he graciously entertained us. If he had other plans, he never mentioned them. My brother, Brian has a pub in Camrose, AB. Sean apparently would stop in daily and drink coffee, wanting to stay in touch. Brian had a new year's eve party a couple of month previous, so I asked Sean if he'd gone. He said no, he'd quit drinking and realized that a new years eve party would probably not be conducive to achieving his goals. He'd also recently quit smoking. I remember thinking that was a lot to give up all at once, but of course didn't want to say anything to discourage him. Sean also had a dream to buy himself all new camping gear and go on a camping trip. This he did at the end of the summer. After achieving his goals, his heart gave...
