Almost 12 years later...

We are all still here.

whatever happened to the blog updates?

It would seem that Facebook ate them all.
kinda sad that someone else owns the last couple of years of stuff....

A dance for winter

18th of March and we were having an outdoor dinner BBQ.

What's not to dance about?!

Karen & Captain Cook

I got this in the mail, from my friend Barbara in Peterborough.....thanks, Barb.

Karen can officially add "Children's Entertainer" (as quoted) to her list of accomplishments. Well done, Karen.

Cutline reads: Children's entertainer Karen Woolley holds Captain Cook the lamb during Family Literacy Day on Saturday at Peterborough Square on George St. in Peterborough.

SKI: ouverture de la saison!

Simon has started a ski camp at Brimacombe, for 6 weeks, while Chloe will be coached by Mom and Dad (well... pushed and pulled mostly).

They both did very well, weather was great and the snow (yes there was some) was fresh and powdery.

Next time Simon is taking the T bar up... and I will try to ski a little (if I still remember how to).

More Christmas 2011

'twas a magical musical Christmas, for the big ones and the little ones.

It all made Gramma very proud and happy.

2012 -- Christmas Eve & Day At Lorne & Corinne's

Save the blog!

post some Christmas / New Years pics!
I think we need to resurrect the blog!

it's not as easy as facebook to post to but it is a better record of things us. I think there are easy ways to post to it too. maybe a way to link those new postings to facebook.

Goodbye Blog

This marks the passing of the Bradt Family Blog on this, the fifth of January. Killed by Facebook.

*sniff*

It will be missed

Curious Simon Rides a Bike

Took the training wheels off and away he went!

First time riding without the training wheels quickly followed by first fall and elbow scrape from riding a bike without training wheels...

Another Year Begins

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY GLENN AND KAREN

and the celebration goes on for at least 3 more weeks!

camper girl

Fiona's off at day camp for 2 weeks. It's a nice one not too far away but all day.
They have a pool, outdoor sports, silly games as well as crafts, bible stories, lots of music and
TUCK SHOP!
the first thing we get is the new camp shirt of the year.
she arrived on day one wearing LAST year's shirt, but quickly changed into the new one.

how to be fiona's husband

Apparently there are a series of tests

the first one is on skateboards where the husbands to be have to go over ramps and stuff
then do it again on rollerskates

then they have to pass the protection test ...
protect fiona from a robber

then they have to like the colour of her bedroom

and finally, they have to be able to take care of her mom and dad when they're really old

and if they fail just one test, they're out

she's literally dreamed that up.

I think I keep changing the colour of her bedroom!!!!

Fun things to do at the OC

Of course there was checking flower pay phones for change.

-Elevators and water fountains in Sears and Eatons.

-Pinball and bingo fed gumball machines in Zellers

- and the carpet display in Sears...

I guess some things never get old.

Daddy's Girl

In the Stores now...

As she appears in the current Sears Father's Day Fashion flyer pg 4, on-line and in print.

FYI, the card is a prop based on Chloe's own drawing. I guess they didn't want to give her the artistic credit too so they made their own.

Coming soon to a flyer or catalog...

wild weekend

the storms came through on Wednesday and the power went out. So we made it through the first 24 hours. still no power. freezers stayed tight closed, glenn went to bring home blocks of ice for the fridge. ALL filled to the brim with food - sides of lamb, all of the processed chicken. YIKES.
Lucky our neighbours down the street got their power back, we found out through facebook ... and mom spying into my account (as per my permission of course)
so we headed over for a shower (remember in the country, no power means no water)
and the offered us a generator
WIN!
so we had enough juice to keep the freezers topped off
and the phones went down
friday ... nothin and rumours it would be till sunday.
the SHEARING ... still a go and no way to contact everyone to call it off
had the gennie to allow the shears to work.
LJ and fam bring bottled drinking water
the super Hickey fam lend us the cottage again if needed.
and we manage, and the 100% rain forecast holds till after noon when we're done
lots of fun for all.
Fiona and I both took a bit off one of the sheeps. Llamas especially funny now (simon held the leash while the llama was tied to a pole)
thanks to LJ and CC for the photos.
Celebrated wee Chloe's 4th birthday too and a pre-dads day for Lj
Dave's should be on the way this week along with Benjamin's long lost power cord for his DS! (not forgotten and quite safe!)

what on said dry bread?

and spread with .....?
