My Brother's Kids - School Pics 2009




Josie Heading off to Grade 1


Josie was very nervous about her first day of school. But only a few tears and she was fine the rest of the day! Such a big girl!

Tim's Family at his Father's Memorial




The family had their father's memorial in August. Art Sallows died in June 2009.

My dad's family

When mom & dad were visiting with my brother this summer they had a get-together with some of my father's family members from down east - quite a few have moved west! So it was a very nice LeBlanc Mini-Reunion hosted by my brother and his wife.

Some family pics of my brother's family







Pictures from when mom & dad visited my brother this summer. Don't have a pic of his youngest from this batch of pics.

Aunt Jess' other daughter - Debra and her family

















































This Spring we had a great surprise, we discovered that Aunt Jess' first daughter, Debra, was trying to find her birth family. She contacted Michele and has since met the Robleski family and just recently my mom & dad also. My mom has been praying and hoping for this moment for so many years and we are thrilled to finally meet her and welcome her to our family!

In these pics she sent, there are two pics of Deb and her new husband Nick. Then a picture of her daughter, Tasha and her daughter. There is also a pic of Tasha's husband and son Ryder. The baby is Tasha's littlest one. Deb has a son also with a family, but no pics of them so far. But Michele has met them just this month (Nov 2009) and had a wonderful visit.

Tyler - Baseball Pics






















Steve & Kathy sent some pictures of the boys in baseball this summer, though I think this is only Tyler (#4) - I believe there are more to come. Both Tyler & Dakota made it to the Provincial Championships! Very proud of them!

The Ballance Family

Helen & Ivan sent this lovely pic of Penny, Garth & the all grown up, Jaimie.
