What? We have a blog?!

It may appear as though we’ve forgotten about this thing–we’ve kinda neglected it for a while. Although we’re not going to write a long post now in an effort to “make up” for our negligence, here’s a quick run-down on what’s been going on around here lately. (Sorry, no pictures for now…)

I (Dave) have been pretty busy doing the usual school stuff. I’ve also been to a couple of football games this season. Michigan football’s alright, but I’d rather be standing with the 12th man.

Barb is still working a few hours a week and enjoying it. She spends the rest of her time hanging with Zac,visiting friends, etc. Her and Zac recently joined the YMCA, so she’s able to drop Zac off at the child care and work out a bit.

Zac is growing quickly in every way. He’s quite strong; he’s sitting on his own and looking like he’ll crawl anytime now. He’s usually quite expressive and playful when he’s at home, but seems (initially) to be more reserved and observant when he’s in unfamiliar settings. Once he feels comfortable, he becomes playful again. He’s also very curious, constantly trying to grab things and put them in his mouth. Thankfully, he’s sleeping more during the night.

LATER ADDITION: I failed to mention that Zac and Barb have started a swimming class together. When we first took him swimming a few weeks ago, he was a little tentative for a while, but he seems to be liking it quite a bit now.

Welcome Addilyn!

My sister Becky and her husband Jeff just welcomed the newest addition to their family—Addilyn Vienna Lockyer. Addilyn is their first girl (after 2 boys—Owen and Simon—who you’ve seen here before). Congrats Jeff and Becky, Owen and Simon!

Going, going…

gone, yet again. This time, we’re off to Bayfield for a week at a cottage with the fam. We’ll post the pics when we get back.

We’re back

From both our stay in St. Catharines and our mini blogging hiatus. We’ve had a good but busy month (hence the blogging hiatus), full of framing and family visits. Unfortunately for me, I didn’t get as much academic work done as I had hoped to (and I didn’t even hope to get very much done!). But, such is life. Anyway, we’re back in AA now for a week, then it’s off to Sauble Beach for a week with my family, back to AA for a week, and then off to Bayfield for a week with Barb’s family.

On another note, we know it’s been a while since we’ve posted new Zac pics. Well, the wait is over. Enjoy!

Welcome Ethan!

My youngest sister Jessica and her husband Mike just had their first baby—Ethan Michael Enns—on Friday. Congrats to Mike and Jess! Here’s the new family:

Zac with his newest cousin:

This brings my parents’ grandchild count to 6 (with #7 coming in Sept.). These are the first 5 a few days before Ethan’s arrival:

From L to R: Zac, Owen (4), Sam (2), Simon (2), Rachel (7 mos.)

In Memoriam

Jonny’s got a band

Just came across my brother Jon’s band’s myspace site. Check ‘em out. I particularly like the song `Daniel the Protagonist’, but they’re all worth a listen.
