The Woods Family

Hi All:


Now that I have figured out how to do this, I can't get enough. For those that don't know, I just wanted to fill you in on my family. Jim and I have two kids, Colleen (15) and Paul ( 18). Colleen is an irish dancer for 11 years now and about to enter grade 10 where she plans to coxie for the girls rowing team as she did last year. She is your normal 15 year old who is never far from her cell phone, ipod or computer. Paul is about to start university at Brock here in St. Catharines. He plans at this point to become a history/religion teacher. He spent the summer teaching sailing at the Buffalo Canoe Club and during the winter works at a hotel in Niagara Falls as a lifeguard. We are proud to be summer trailer trash since we bought a place at Sherkston Shores at the end of last year. We spent most of the summer there this year. We love to have company, so plan on spending a day at the beach with us sometime if you are in the neighbourhood.

I am including a picture that was taking in June at Pauls high school graduation.

Love to all,

Loretto Woods (not Wood - that is Vera)

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...
