reflecting...

Rene was so kind to upload my pics to the computer tonight so I thought I would share some pics of what the Aubertin family did on Mothers Day this year.

We were invited to the Closs family in Oshawa. They had recently moved into their beautiful home and we were so excited to be able to enjoy sometime with them in it!

The kids made crafts, watched movies, played barbies(yes, even the boys) and had the random arguments that kids tend to have.

The adults enjoyed great food, great laughs and a few great beverages as well!

We stayed the night at the Closs family home so we could get up Early and head to the Science Centre for Mothers'day.

I must not forget...Shawn was so kind to make Corrie and myself a yummy breakfast for mothers'day...thank you again Shawn!

We enjoyed a great day at the science centre checking out all of the really cool exhibits. I think one of the highlights for me was when Corrie and I got on the static ball stage to mess our hear up... Great fun.

It was a wonderful Mother's Day and I could not have thought of a better way to spend it then with family and friends!

Happy Mother's Day!

Now it was the mommy's turn...kids at heart!

This was sooooo cool... 'This was in the children's area. The name of the exhibit slips my mind but as you can see, we had a lot of fun with this one!

Thank you Corrie, Shawn, tyler and Caylie for a great wekend! We can't to do it again!

Yesterday Rene's grandfather, Roger Aubertin passed away at the age of 83. Grandpa's life the last six months was a very difficult one. The move to Belleville from Mississauga, where he has lived his entire adult life, the discomfort and instabilities of his aging legs and the painful symptoms of multiple strokes and kidney failure. Although we mourn his loss, we are also comforted in knowing Grandpa is free of pain and enjoying his peaceful life now with his wife.

We thank you everyone for your thoughtfulness and kind words.
Krista and Rene

"Try this daddy!"

It's so hard to believe May has arrived! May is such a refreshing month. The flowers are blooming, the grass is green and we are able to spend hours outside without bundling up with layers of clothing.

May is also the month that Rene and I orginally wanted to get married because it marks the anniversary of the first day we started to date. We decided not to pick May 7th as our date because we both loved the fall and really wanted to have a cool fall wedding. Funny enough.. on our wedding day September 8th, it was the hottest day with lots of humitity.

If you can believe it...we have been together for 18 YEARS...that's right 18!!!!!!!

We were babies when we started dating and we are in love with each other even more every year!

Happy Anniversary Babe!
