Jump for Heart

By
So on Wednesday Caitlin and Kyle's school had a jump rope health awareness thingy (yes I said "thingy").
The kids needed to say who they were jumping for: people they knew that had heart problems. They had little hearts pinned to them with the name of the person they were thinking of.
Caitlin had Colleen Dean on her badge while my six year old Kyle had Uncle John on his. Funny thing is that Tamara and I never sat down and talked to them about Mom and John. Kids pick up on the darndest things.

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!) :( ...
