Bella Goes Home

After a couple of weeks, it was time for Bella to go home today. The girls will miss her and has only made them want their own dog even more. Here are Angela and Claudia posing one last time with Bella.

Mark and Gaila's Wedding

Mark and Gaila tied the knot today and we were all invited to the wedding. They got married at the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre after the Karate Tournament. We were a little early, so we walked around the centre.

The girls on the stairs.

After the tournament ended, they all chipped in to set-up.

The aisle. As you can see dress was casual.

Gaila and Mark exchanging vows.

When it came time for the ring, Mark had to break a piece of wood to get it out. It took a couple of tries, but he suceeded.

They followed up the ceremony with a get together at the Galway Arms. It was a little crowded, but the food was good and we all had a good time.

Swan 50th Anniversary

We followed up Mark and Gaila's wedding last night with Mom and Dad Swan's 50th Wedding Anniversary Open House in Dundas. We started the day with mass. Gillian was a guest altar server along with Eric and Rachel for the mass.
