growing kids!
so, the most exciting news first: Cynthia & Josh’s baby (their first) arrived 2 weeks early! Hannah Grace was born on the 25th, 7lbs 2oz. 
they are not quite so “webby” connected as the rest of us, so pass along the news to other GHS grads who knew them! 
So apparently the water in the band room at Gloucester High not only passed along the “syphilis” shakes (no, not really), but also the uncanny likelihood of oldest children being girls (Harmony, Aili, Eve, and now Hannah). Nina must not have been drinking enough of it I guess.
GHS Babies of 2008/2009:
In other news, both Harmony and Avery had their annual check-ups yesterday! Both are growing well, around average for height and weight although Avery is slightly tall for his age and Harmony is starting to move up on her growth curve for weight.
Here are their “stats”:
Avery @ 4yrs old: 42″ tall, about 40lbs
Harmony @ 10yrs old: 55″ tall, about 80lbs
Neither kiddo needed immunizations, although I’m still glad I brought their cards because I made sure they were all up-to-date for next year when they will switch to their new school. Which I will be able to register them for in a week (for Avery) or two (for Harmony)!!
Anyone know any good family doctors in Barrhaven that are taking new patients? I called a couple places before Christmas, but no luck, although I might try one of them back again as they indicated she *may* have room.
The reality of moving has really hit… only 3 months until the house is ready and 5 months to our tentatively-set moving day of June 27th! I packed the first box yesterday, and sealing it up with packing tape and scrawling its’ destination on it with permanent marker definitely made things sink in for me!!!

our doctor is in the loblaws at greenbank & strandherd. i have on idea if they are taking new patients or not but you can try. it’s called the marketplace medical centre. of course, i can’t find the number right now (good thing it’s not an emergency!) but i’m sure you can google it. they also do walk-ins… can’t wait too see you in the west end!!

Thanks Emma!!
We actually lucked out and found a doctor right in our new neighbourhood that could take on all 4 of us, but I might still check out that clinic as Harmony and I prefer a female doctor. thanks for the info!
I can’t wait either, although I will really miss the East end. You’ll have to plan to come scrapbook in my sunny kitchen!
