Canucks???

(from Wikipedia) ... The Random House Dictionary notes that: "The term Canuck is first recorded about 1835 as an Americanism, originally referring specifically to a French Canadian. This was probably the original meaning, though in Canada and other countries, Canuck now more often refers to any Canadian." We are now permanent residents of Canada, which may not qualify us to be Canucks, strictly speaking, but we're more Canuck than any other Williams in our family ... and proud to be!

Cotton Candy Colours!

Oh yeah ... Andrew's hair is blue again. And don't know if you can tell in these pictures, but his friend's hair has pink streaks in the blond... LOL

New Trampoline!

We just got a Springfree trampoline (if you haven't heard of them, you can check them out at springfreetrampoline.com). It's supposed to be really safe, because it doesn't have any springs - plus it's got the net around it. David put it together today with a little help from the rest of the family ... then Andrew and his friend Deklin gave it a good workout. David and I tried it too ... it's a lot of exercise!

I got these for mother's day...

Mother's Day 2008

Matthew came over with his roommate Rob, and the 2 of them fixed BBQ ribs, corn on the cob, and garlic-butter baby carrots, all on the grill. We supplied mashed potatoes and watermelon. Those boys are good cooks!

NEW WEBPAGE


If you haven't already checked it out, take a look at my new business website - http://www.jeannewilliams.ca/ . (Note that it's .ca instead of .com - that's 'cause the .com domain would have cost me 4 digits!)
My amazing webmaster (webmistress?) has even registered it with Google, so you can google "jeanne williams edmonton" , "play therapy edmonton" , "child psychologist edmonton" , "filial therapy edmonton" or "child parent relationship training edmonton " (or replace any of those edmontons with alberta) to find jeannewilliams.ca, often in the first 3-4 listings.
My biggest reason for having a website is to be a resource for current or brand new clients ... the second reason is for marketing, especially the child-parent relationship training classes that I do (I hardly need to market the play therapy - I regularly have to turn down new referrals already). Thirdly, I'm thinking that the articles and other resources may be helpful to others outside of Edmonton and Alberta.
It's been fun planning it, and it's really cool to see it up and going ... and pretty cool to google myself too!

I'm back with another entry ... only 10 1/2 months after the last one! Andrew and David and I just had a taekwondo graduation yesterday - we got our blue stripe belts, which is number 6 out of 10 leading up to black belt. No pictures of that, but some friends came and took pics from the stands, so I'll see of any of them are worth putting up (it was a big place, and we

may be unrecognizable in the pics). The pictues here include Andrew and a friend enoying the first campfire of spring,and Andrew and I taking Gaia out for a morning walk a couple of weeks ago.
