Happiness Starts at Home

Our Home
We live in a great family-oriented neighbourhood that is within walking distance of various schools, a great park and an enchanting forest filled with bunnies and squirrels.We own a bright and cheery home with a backyard filled with toys that Addison shares with our other family member, Neo, a playful, loving Jack Russell/poodle mix.Neo loves to run around, play and give lots of kisses to Addison, our nieces, nephews and neighbourhood kids. Neo also makes for a warm and fuzzy snuggle buddy, and Addison absolutely adores him.
I am so lucky to have a live-in handy man. Stan has made countless improvements to our home, and he has single handedly remodelled the bathroom. I enjoy fixing things and working with tools. Some of my fondest memories are of the times I spent as “Daddy’s little helper,” handing my dad tools and watching him build things in our garage. My dad taught me everything I know, and I can’t wait to work with Addison and your child to build a tree house in our backyard. Addison and I have already tackled a fence-building project, and she helped me use the level to make sure everything was straight.
We look forward each day to family dinners, as we believe that sitting down together gives us time to connect and enjoy each other’s company. Stan can cook up a storm, and I love his sense of adventure with new recipes-minus the occasional overcooked spaghetti surprise! Every night, we share the highs and lows of our days, talk about our plans for the upcoming weekend or sing the songs that Addison heard at school that day. Weather permitting, after dinner we take some time to enjoy the outdoors by taking a walk (Neo’s favourite), going to the park or just playing in our backyard.
On weekends or in our spare time, we complete a host of small projects around the house, shop or go on a day trip to explore a favourite or new place. We also spend time with the kids in our neighbourhood. Addison loves to talk and laugh with the twin girls next door. Stan helped our active teenage neighbour rebuild his ten-speed. And Michelle has become quite the road hockey player with coaching from the six-year-old NHL hopeful who lives across the street.
Sundays are often spent visiting family, catching up on how our nieces and nephews are doing or seeing what projects have been occupying our parents’ time.Life can get busy with day-to-day demands, so we take every opportunity to spend quality time together and with family.
