The Difference 1 Year Can Make

January 2009



February 2010

Here is a new picture of Elise and Isaac.... TOGETHER! This is not an easy picture to get... it requires hours of planning... there are zoning acts, behaviour modification techniques, advanced distraction techniques, and last but not least the agility that is required to capture that split second where they both look at the camera. I'm voting it in for a new olympic sport... right next to defensive speed folding (laundry that is). Enjoy!


Elise 2.5 yrs & Isaac 14 months

Aunt Edie's handy work!

Here is the vest and hat that Aunt Edie made for Elise. She LOVES it... and wears it every chance she gets. She loves anything that has a matching hat!

Thanks Aunt Edie!!

Back in the Day

So just for fun this year I'll be posting some old pics that I'll be scanning in. You never know what you might find!

We will kick it off with one of the cutest kids out there... seriously, any cuter and we may have eaten him :P



Me and Dad back in December 1981

Playing in the snow

So what? It's freezing out... big deal... we are CANADIANS and we can handle it! It was actually -20º on this particular morning... lol we didn't stay out for too long, just long enough to enjoy a sleigh ride!









This is just another pic of Elise getting all dressed up to go out and help Daddy put out the garbage. It was her first time getting all dressed up this year.... she was loving her new snowsuit!

Christmas Parties!

The 15th annual Lemieux Christmas Party was a hit as usual! It was extra special because Papa and Granny (Isaac and Vida) were there, and even extra extra special for us because Brian was here for it too! Their presences' have been MUCH anticipated.

The party was great! The food was unparalleled - as always - and I completely pigged out. But loved every second of the food and the company. It's always great getting together, helps you to remember that family is what really matters. And we have the BEST family out there. Love you all!

There was some confusion over WHICH Isaac was called, as Santa called for "Little Isaac".
