 Morris is a beautiful, orange persian with a mind all his own.  He loves to be with adults but he can be a real bully around little children.  Even with all his failings we love him.

My son George is in the picture below with his three children-Danielle, Katie and Jake.  I think this picture was taken in Oklahoma on a little excursion.  Don't they all look happy?

          The little girl in the rose bed looks like a beautiful little fairy.  Her name is Danielle Mary Claire.  She used to like everyone to call her by her full name.  Danielle is a very charming little fairy.

This is the lovely mommy, Amy,  with the little princess Katie.  This picture was taken in Mississauga when we went out for lunch.  Katie always looks adorable.  I think someday she might just become an actress.   I can see her dancing and singing and putting on a real show for her audience, swirling around in her pink dresses and glittery shoes.

                 This is Jake, a very special little Grandson, who is always happy and curious about everything around him. He has the energy to become a very good athlete someday.

    Matthew, what can I say!  He was my first born grandchild and we spent a lot of time together.  He was a delight to have around.  A funny, bright, creative child.  Matthew excels in sports of every kind.  He is a terrific hockey player and great runner. Academically he does very well and puts a lot of effort into those things which he enjoys.

The other little picture shows Danielle and Katie watching a parrot.  By the expression on Danielles face she could do without this parrot but Katie is very engrossed in giving the bird a drink.

I'm very blessed to have these precious grandchildren and I hope that as they grow and mingle with others that they will always try to show others empathy, respect and tolerance.  I hope they will never stand aside and let anyone bully someone else.  I don't wish for my children to be bystanders I want them to stand up for the rights of others but also stand up for their own rights.

Don't you think he looks charming in his new hat.  A bit like  007 don't you think?   He loves to have his picture taken.  Always posturing for the camera.

This is our lovely 'Ballerina' Katie.  Someday she will be a real Prima Donna.

Did anyone know that we have another hockey player in the family besides Matthew.  She really works hard on the ice and someday this will pay off.  I think she wants to be like her Daddy.

Well here she is with her little assistant Jake.  All great players always have someone to look after their drinks and equipment.

The following pictures are of my daughter Rebecca and her family right down to the dogs, Scout , the collie and Maggie the Wheaton  Terrier.  The picture below is of Rebecca and her niece Katie.  Something is very amusing.

Rebecca , Gord and Matthew came down from Milton for the weekend.  I'm sure they had a great time.  Rebecca and Gord spent a day at the Nordik Spa up in Chelsea.  A much needed relaxation.  Matthew and I enjoyed ourselves playing Mini Putt and going to the show.  It was nice to have them spend a few days with us.

Here is a picture of Scout and Maggie.  They are members of the Dupont/Howard family. 

It looks like Maggie is in control.

 I looked all over to find a picture of Jake but all I found was his head.  Can anyone tell me where Jake is?  This is really a mystery for Grandma.  Maybe Katie or danielle can tell me what happened to Jake.    

Well katie what did you do to Jake?  How come only his head is at the beach?   

When I look at this picture its hard to beleive that Matthew has grown up so quickly.  It seems no time ago that he was just a little guy. This picture was taken after one of Matthews games in the tournament, over Thanksgiving weekend, in Acton.
