December 25, 2008 - Christmas at Wingrove Hill |
|
|
This year we hosted Christmas at Wingrove Hill, a first for the whole family, including little Sarah
who looked stunning in her Christmas dress courtesy of our beloved Rita. Santa outdid himself this year
with the Wii, walking talkies for the whole family, and most importantly Rainbow, Kieran's first pet goldfish.
As all little ones Sarah's favourites were the paper and the ribbons.

November 25, 2008 - Cullen Family Photos |
|
|
WIth the arrival of Sarah, we thought it was about time to get a family photo. We had a great (and very patient)
photographer who did a great job. Here are a sample of the shots.

September 1, 2008 - Sarah Is One Month Old |
|
|
Well, it's hard to believe but our little girl is already a month old and has managed to put on about 2 pounds
and grow an inch. She has had a busy month since she has been home with visits from friends and relatives, a small
pool party attended by 65 of her closest friends and a trip to Tobermory. Here are some pics from her first month at
Wingrove Hill.

August 7, 2008 - Sarah and Mom come home |
|
|
After a bit of a rocky start, we finally brought Sarah home yesterday, five days after her birth.
Sarah is still a little jaundice but is improving and any risk to her is now quite
low. Here are some pictures from the hospital and the first day home.

August 2, 2008 - Introducing Sarah Grace Cullen |
|
|
The newest member in the Cullen family turned out to be as stubborn as her sister. After almost 24 hours
of labour, Sarah was born at 8:28 last night (August 1st). While her brother was born in 90 minuutes,
Sarah obviously decided that mommy's womb was too good a thing to give up and didn't want to go.
Sarah was born 3.5kg (7lb 12oz) and is doing great. As can be imagined, Lisa is pretty tired and just happy
everything turned out okay in the end.
Hopefully mom and baby will be home tonight.

March 31, 2008 - Trek to the Sugarbush! |
|
|
Despite the hour wait to get into the Kortright Centre, and the mud, 19 of us (11 kids in tow)
made our way into the bush for some tasting maple syrup and other maple sweets along with half
the population of the GTA. We ended the day with a lovely dinner at the Cullen residence, which highlighted
a number of cheeses left over from the wine n' cheese/earth hour party at Wingrove Hill the night before.

March 21, 2008 - Easter 2008 |
|
|
Easter Weekend proved to be a busy one with a trip on the Simcoe Steam Express on Saturday, complete with
old-fashioned conductor and easter bunny and no heat (yes, it is still winter despite spring's arrival). After the
train ride and a lovely dinner at the Bulger's, we made a trip to London to visit the grandparent's and
'enjoy' the last of winter.

March 6, 2008 - Kate Turns Six |
|
|
Hard to believe Kate turned six this year! We had a party complete with a clown, magic tricks,
balloon animals and tattoos. Highlight being the extremely tame rabbit that sat quietly on the couch for an
hour despite being the main focus of attention for 17 children! Fun was had by all!

February 16, 2008 - Annual Winter Getaway in Muskoka |
|
|
The annual trip to the Morawetz Cottage was in February this year and the weather on Saturday was picture perfect.
The day was filled with cross country skiing, sledding, snow-shoeing, and fort building. Kids and adults (this year's grand total
was 16 adults and 17 children, including the newest addition....Kyle Geoffrey at 4 weeks old) alike, had a wonderful time.
Evenings were spent eating great food, relaxing by a roaring fire and enjoying good company. Enjoy the many pics!
