The Country Pantry

.
My family and I had dinner at the Country Pantry, located in Fairfax VT on Saturday. This is a popular local restaurant that serves homestyle meals. I had the Fried Chicken Dinner but I didn't enjoy it very much like I used to. I found that the quality of the food has taken a dive just like the recent financial market!

Art on The Beach

First Art Show

.
I had the opportunity to display my photography work during the First Friday Art Walk for the month of May 2008. The event was held on May 2, 2008 at Nectar's /Metronome in downtown Burlington. I had greeting cards and matted prints on display and was successful in selling some. It was a great learning experience and I had fun.

Anyone looking for a great photography for any event, weddings, graduations, parties, etc, give me a shout. Check out my site at www.hoorge.com .

Welcome Alyssa

This is my niece, Alyssa.

My younger sister, Vinie, delivered Alyssa at the Guelph General Hospital in Guelph, Ontario, Canada.

We are all very happy and excited to have a new family member. I celebrated my niece's birth with some champagne today. I am a very proud and happy uncle. My wife, kids, and I can't wait to visit Toronto soon to see Alyssa and family.

Congratulations, Vinie and Dale! Enjoy the new bundle of joy.

Welcome to the family, little Peanut! Love you lots.

At The Orthodontics

.
Hannah had her first Orthodontic appointment on 2/18/2008. One of the first things they do is photograph the teeth. Apparently, she needs a mouth widener as there isn't enough space for her new teeth to grow into. Well, the cost of this treatment is approximately $1700.00! Ouch!

After School

.
I got home just in time to see my kids get off the school bus after school. We changed their bus route for a couple of weeks while my Mom was in town visiting us from Canada.

Have A Nice Day Daddy!

.
I found this note from Sabrina hidden in my laptop. She knew I would see it first thing in the morning when I got to work, which I did. It put smiles on my face and I had a pleasant day.
What more could a Dad ask for? I am blessed with great loving kids.
