[FONT=georgia,times new roman,times,serif]Well since I gave you the low down on me in my last post, I thought I would introduce you to the other members of my family.
My husband Ron was born in southern Ontario and was raised in a Christain home. He comes from a wonderful Christian family heritage. His grandfather was a pastor and worked in many large churches near the Toronto area, he also worked with many Christain organizations that catered mostly to youth (this age group was especially close to his heart). Ron is the youngest of three children and has 2 older sisters. He says that they made his life difficult but something tells me that it was probably the other way around. Ron asked Christ to become a part of his life around the same age I did and was baptized around 12 years old or so, same as me. He moved around about as much as I did growing up but always stayed within southern Ontario. On a sad note, Ron's parents divorced when he was around 16 years old and this affected him quite a bit.
When I met Ron he had just come home to live with his mom after working at Red Lobster for a few years. All the Red Lobsters closed up around here at the same time and moved to the U.S. He was a little lost and wasn't sure what he wanted to do. He ended up choosing a career in welding and went to trade school. He has been welding now for over 10 years but in the last few years, he decided welding was getting too dirty and was a young mans trade so, he started working for a store here in Canada called Princess Auto. Princess Auto is like a dollar store for men. Imagine all the stuff you would find in Rona, like in the nuts and bolts type isles and that is pretty much what Princess Auto sells, as well as tools and other "man" type stuff. Ron loves his job and due to his age and experience has moved up into a management position very quickly. Not bad for a guy who worked in a blue collar shop environment for over a decade and moved suddenly into retail.
These are my lovely children! All THREE of them.
They make my life busy and hectic, but I love them.
My oldest daughter's name is Hope and we did have a lot of hope for her when she arrived. I was 26 years old and believe me, no where near ready to have a child but it worked out well. Hope had severe colic after she was born and we spent many nights and days up with her trying to get her little stomach to stop hurting. Talk about frustrating. She is 8 years old now and time has really flown. Hope is a very social little girl and loves to play with her friends. She is also very talkative and has the attention span of an ant. Whenever Hope and I go places there is always someone yelling Hope, Hope!! It seems like everyone knows her. Hope accepted Jesus into her life about a year ago and always has lots of questions about God and Jesus. She understands that she has a relationship with Jesus and that he died on the cross for her. She loves Sunday school and the various kids clubs at our church.
My middle daughter is Paige. She is sooo different from Hope. Paige is so laid back she is practically asleep but that's okay it makes her quite a bit different from Hope. I like the variety. Paige will agree with almost anything you want her or ask her to do. She is a very obediant child. She loves candy and chocolate milk (just like her mom). Paige just started jr. kindergarten and is doing great. She is a lot like Ron's older sister Cathy and is a bit of a joker and always has a smile on her face.
My youngest son is Charles. He is named after Ron's other grandpa, Charlie Bowyer. Charles just had his first birthday on October 24th and will be the last of our brood. Charles' personality is right in between Hope and Paige's. He is not as busy and determined as Hope is but he is not a relaxed as Paige. Funny eh? Three kids with all different personalities. Who would have thunk. We actually just dedicated Charles to the Lord on the Canadian thanksgiving weekend and that was great. For those of you who don't know, baby dedication is where you stand before your church and promise before God and man that you will raise your child to know God and raise them in a Christ based household. We have done this with all our children. Charles is a very happy baby and likes to laugh. He is a fairly easy baby to take care of. The only problem is, I spend a lot of time looking at him and wishing he wont grow up cause, he is the last child we are going to have. Life is funny that way. Sometimes we want our kids to grow up so they wont be so much work but at other times we don't want them to grow up because we know they will be leaving home.
Anyway, that is my family in a nut shell and it's also just my point for today, thanks for reading! >[/FONT]
