Just a blog

Hey Everyone,

Just wanted to post a blog since I haven’t done so in awhile. Not a lot has happened in the last few weeks, Buster is Recovering fine from surgery and I think that his leg feels much better now.

This month has been a month of Birthdays. Moms was the 7th, Aunt Cathy’s the 9th, Rodney had his Yesterday on the 23rd, Andrews is on the 29th and Last but not least Samantha’s is on the 31st. So Happy Birthday to all of you and I hope you all had/have a Great one!

Rodney ended up working for most of his Birthday, but we went out to celebrate it last sat to a Restaurant Called Gulliver’s we had a very nice supper.

I have a Dr Appointment tomorrow, so I will be back to blog about that.

Till then Take Care

Love Janis

Poor Buster :-(

Well our little buster, will be going in for surgery next Tuesday to have his hip fixed. Hopefully all will go well.
As for Rodney & I, everything is going very well, Rodney is enjoying work and I have started at my job, and I also am enjoying getting out of the house for a bit, it’s nice to meet new people. Our next Dr. Appointment for baby Crocker Is on Jan 25th and the next Ultrasound is on Fed 14th I will keep you all posted.
Pop Critch is doing well after his appointments with the heart Dr’s in St.Johns, He had a blockage in his heart but the put a stint in and now he is feeling like new, like Mark puts it “He just needed some new hardware and a bit of Drano ….lol”.
Well that’s all I have time for today, I have to get ready to close up the store. Take care and chat with you all later
Love Janis

Happy New Year !

Happy New Year Everyone!! Hope you all had a great one! And Hope you all also had a wonderful Christmas. Rodney and I had a Great Christmas & New year; we enjoyed our holidays very much.

We had another Ultrasound on the 30th of Dec and everything is still fine, the baby is about 3 -4 ounces & 71/2 cm long. The due date is now the 2nd of July so I am a week ahead (now 14 weeks 2 days) of what we thought I was so that is good news. We should get some ultrasound photos soon & I will post them as soon as I get them

Rodney now has a new guitar, so soon we will be hearing sweet music…and he is back to work on Thursday…poor baby. We are planning on going to the movies Friday night so is any of you have ideas on what good movies are playing, let us know.

In Other News Paula had her Ultrasound done today and Baby Murphy is doing Great at 20 weeks, I have attached the ultrasound photo she e-mail to us.

BABY MURPHY !!

Well I will have to cut this short, I getting sleepy; I have attached a few other photos, Hope you enjoy.

Love Janis

My New Kitchen Floor, Rodney put in.

Our Tree !!!

lets try this again !!!!

Well Lets Try this Again…. I just finished a huge blog then the dam thing got deleted…so here we go again although this one will not be as long…

Just wanted to post a few photos taken in the last little while and give a bit of an update,
The first is of bonnie & Clyde’s new home, we went to Winnipeg last Saturday and came back with a 90 gal tank, bonnie & Clyde just love it…I know we are crazy…

Next is one of Aunt Barbara and Uncle Ron, for those who do not know Aunt Barbara is My Nan Critches Sister who lives out in Brandon, It is great to have family close by and as a added bonus she makes a wicked tasting banana bread & a great newfie dinner…lol This photo was taken when they were in for a visit a few nights ago.

Last is “the bird” this is a ornament that has sat on the top of my Nan Critches tree longer then I have been in this world. When Rodney & I moved away from home we started a tradition that the ornaments on our tree would all be ones given to us and that have very special meaning, so to get us started before we left I went to everyone’s house to collected a special ornament and to get “the story” that went with it. This year Rodney and I notice that we didn’t have one from Nan Critches tree (because when we moved Nan had given us a bunch that are now used for our tree down stairs) So I called nan and asked for “The Bird” I figured I wouldn’t stand a chance but I had to try, I was happy when Nan passed it on to us with out even hesitating. The Bird was brought by Nan’s Dad for her Mom years & years ago, Nan figures it is over 70 years old. So I thank you Nan for passing something so special on to us and it will sit proudly at the top of our tree for years and years to come.

Good News !!!!

Hey Everyone,

We have Good News !!! For a change…. Had the Ultrasound today and the Baby is doing well at 11 weeks 2 days, the heart rate was at 156 and she/he was moving around like crazy…. Such a cool site to see. Our due date if all continues well will be the 10 of July….
Other than that, not much more news…we wish you all a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year….

Love Janis & Rodney

16 More Sleeps !!!!

How is everyone doing? I can’t believe how fast time fly’s bye and that its only 16 sleeps to Santa’s big night! Hope everyone has been really good so that they will get what they asked for.. Lol. It also seems crazy that we have been here in Shilo for just about two months. I have no idea where the time goes.

Due to my being pregnant I Haven’t really been job hunting for any major jobs & have been taken it easy, but I have found one that will be great for me right now, I will be doing part time reception at the base hair & tanning salon, I’m excited to be getting out of the house for a bit.
Rodney Starts his Christmas Vacation today, and he goes back to work on the 4th of Jan …lucky him hey!

We have posted out all our Christmas cards and I hope that I haven’t forgotten any one; if I have I am sorry. Just send me a bad e-mail…. lol

Well I must get going and I will be sure to put another post on here before Christmas, I also have a ultra sound on the 20th so I will let you know how that goes, we just have to keep hoping for the best and keep our fingers crossed that all will be fine.

Take Care
Love Janis & Rodney

So Long

Hey everyone,

I have bad news, Nan Crocker passed away on November 22,2005. Nan Crocker had lived 88 wonderful years in Woody Point, her funeral will be on Friday at 2pm. This is a time when it is bad being so far away from home & family. I guess when you think of it, now Nan can be with all our other family members that have passed on before her, like Pop and Grace, I know that they were both waiting there to great her with hugs and kisses as she arived. And for all of you that knew Grace I would like for all of just to take the time to think of her as we are quickly approching the holidays, it will be 4 years this Dec 14 but its seems like a lifetime, since we have all seen her happy smile and open arms greeting each and everyone of us. Grace you are deeply missed and we all love you.

Rodney and I are lucky to have great day to look back on, September 29,2005, the day after Rodney arrived home from Borden. We went to Woody point that day and spent quite a bit of time with Nan while Uncle Frank and I took video and photos of Nan chating with rodney from her Rockin chair, those will be memories that we will look back on and cherish for years and years to come. And we will always think of Nan, especially when we return home to see the empty Rockin Chair where she would sit and sing her little ditties (songs). So to you Nan we say So Long, not Good bye, we love you.

I want everyone at home to know that altough we can't be there with them all, everyone is in out thoughts during this time and always.

Love Janis & Rodney
